Like some, I'm a little down on Lowry's age.
BUT:
1) He is a winner and a leader. Maybe the best of those categories that Dallas could hope to add.
2) He is a TOUGH player - the kind who could teach these guys how to play with a little more edge.
3) Even without the toughness angle, which is important, I think he's a defensive improvement over the Wright and Richardson projects.
4) He would absolutely fix any secondary playmaking issues, and can even take some wear and tear off of Luka by allowing him to play off-ball some when they're together. I think this might be a bigger benefit than we like to talk about around here.
5) VP is right about the STATUS of this signing, should it happen. It would be the biggest FA signing in the modern history of the Mavericks, for sure. Not sure what that's worth, but I AM sure it's worth more than nothing.
I don't hate it - kind of like it, actually. But, I don't hold out much hope that it will happen.
