Trade Deadline/All Star Break 2016 
Posted on February 7, 2014 at 02:26 AM.
Before we dive into the update. Heres the box score from the Spurs game. Sadly they ended our record and this was the beginning of a terrible streak of games for Kyle Lowry. It's safe to say Kyle's place is no longer safe.

Trade Deadline News

Honestly right here I extensively looked at trading Kyle Lowry. He'd done some great things for us, just not this season. Currently we're sitting #1 in the East. 1 game ahead of Indiana and 6 ahead of Miami. And we all know this is where the season starts to get serious. But for a guy set to make another $14mil over the next two years. He was getting very JR Smith on me. Not quite as drastic, but a guy who's now 10 years in the league and supposed to be leading a team only shooting 28% i was stuck.

The decision was stuck between another shot at the playoffs, although i'm currently looking at the 8th seed Wizards in the first round... (Anyone who's been following knows the Wizards have become a bit of a playoff nemesis.) The other side of this decision was another FA littered with Stars. Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Dwight Howard, James Harden, Paul George. And some big names at the 1 spot. Lillard, Deron Williams, Tony Parker.

The Cavaliers and the Pistons were both willing to throw current first rounders at me. With a great look at the lottery, sitting 10th and 14th respectively.

But ultimately i didn't want to break the chemistry. It would be suicide right now sitting so high in the conference. We're finally escaping no man's land.

But Kyle knows well and truly his days in the Red & Black are definitely numbered..


There was only 1 trade made this deadline, and a rather minor one.

Clippers trade: J.J. Redick, '16 1st round.
Wizards trade: Trevor Ariza, Dwight Buycks


The next game will be a potential playoff preview

You had more patience than I would have. Lowry prob would have been gone. Although you will be able to move him in the offseason.
