Kyle Lowry wanted to be a Spur

Lowry: Interest in joining Spurs was real (http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/article/Lowry-Interest-in-joining-Spurs-was-real-12299328.php)


“It was real for me”, Lowry told the Express-News, "but it wasn't real for them. That's a part of the business that people don't know. I would have loved to come here, but it didn't work out. The conversation didn't happen. If the conversation happened, I would tell you. But it didn't happen.”

"Not saying that I wanted out, but I did look at teams to see what was going on," said Lowry. "I mean this place would've been a great place.”

Interesting thoughts from Kyle. Would you take him now over future Murray (a pick and Mills) or wait and see if DJ lives to his potential? Lowry would have been a nice fit in this team as constructed, but he has tendency to fell apart under the bright lights of the Playoffs.

No thanks, especially at his price. The guy gets paid more than CP3, Westbrook, Harden, Conley, Lillard, Wall, and Irving to disappear in the playoffs. Canada can keep him.

I agree his massive contract is a downer. In the Spurs he would be the 3rd offensive option tho (if his struggles are pressure related).

he sucks tbh, i rather have forbes

Can't give almost a third of the cap to a third option though.

[Chinook]

If this was supposed to be a revenge game for him, well...

[DAF86]

We have your daddy Dejounte. We're cool.

[ElNono]

We already have a fat PG, he's just injured...

[SAGirl]

Dejounte taking the bulls by the horns basically. Feels better to cheer for a young player growing up and developing too. Glad the team didn't pick up Cp3, Hill or Lowry...

Of course, but he wasn't going to receive that amount of dough from the Spurs. Although after 12:01 and Gasoft I should not be doubting certain things tbh :lol

Better contract than Porker's...

[bigfan]

Yeah, I wanted to be a Spur too; our chances were about the same...

uh... no.
Maybe a better contract than Parker's next one though. Brace yourself.

His stats are awful right now. But he’s a very good pg.

Unless he's no longer a very good pg...

He wanted to be a Spur but wanted his contract more.

It helps the decision making when the team you'd like to go to shows zero interest also, yes?

I'm pretty sure if Lowry had lowered his salary demands enough the Spurs would have been interested. Of course the Spurs might have only been willing to pay something laughably low like the MLE.

Face it, PATFO signed the wrong Paul AND the wrong Kyle...

Ha ha ha! Yeah buddy. I'll take this team over what you want.
That ish would be ready to 'splode with Kyle Lowry and CP3 on the same team.

He would have to have given up a TON of money.
We saw how well that went with that goob a few years ago. What was his name?
David Worst?

I was being sarcastic.

Right on bud. I would certainly hope so.

A few posters know how I was adamantly opposed to bringing in CP3. And Lowry's recent comments smack of after-the-fact stylin'.

Hey, there are many strong personalities on this board and it's a bit difficult to navigate everyone's predilections and previous posts off the top of my head.
It's not like I'm a newb, but I can't keep track of every Gad Damn Tang.

I said Right On... Make merry.

Accept it for what it is.

Why the defensiveness? I don't know what your takes are, either. I thought we were just dialogin'.

Lol. All I said was right on.
And here we are.

I even said make merry.

RELAX my friend. I'm not hunting for heads. We have a game about to start.

And right on.

So keep dialogin'...

I would have been interested in him for a lower salary. Something like 18 million is what I think he was worth.
