Kyle Lowry, he of 154 career starts in 7+ seasons, is an established starter. Let's not forget that he has lost his job on a REBUILDING team to an OLDER player who, according to you, is worse than he is. Now I've heard it all.

Kyle Lowry is incredibly overrated and is not a PG that you can win with, point blank. Just to bring something new to the table, how the fuck does a PG average 3.6 fouls a game? Good defense my ass.

The Raptors are a better team with him off the court than on. They are -9 net points per 100 possession with him on, and -3 with him off. Defensively, they allow 6 more points with him on than off.

Do I have to explain once again that most of Kyle's time on the court also included the unbelievably lazy Andrea Bargnani? Bargnani sabotaged their defensive effectiveness beyond what any single player should be able to.

Calderon doesn't play with Bargnani? 4 of the 5 most used 5 man units have Calderon and Bargnani in them.

And you didn't address anything else but I figured that would be the case. Pick and choose what suits you... And the Raptors will choose what suits them - an older PG on a rebuilding team playing over the highly coveted, younger PG who they had to trade for.
