Toronto Raptors: Why the Raptors Traded The Wrong Point Guard.
The Toronto Raptors traded for Rudy Gay earlier in the season and landed themselves a go-to scorer and a potential All Star. Despite what many say, this was an excellent move for the franchise, as Gay is a star caliber player and they have not had one since Chris Bosh left. With a training camp and off-season with the team, there is no reason why Gay should not average 20 points...

The Boston Celtics want to trade for Kyle Lowry, not so much Rudy Gay
Kyle Lowry is on the Boston Celtics' growing wishlist of players to trade for before the February 21 trade deadline. The Toronto Raptors point guard's name was floated within a few hours of Rajon Rondo's season ending to an ACL tear.
ESPN's Marc Stein reported that the Celtics are more likely to chase Lowry than Rudy Gay. The question remains whether the Celts...
Could the Celtics target Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry?
We’re less than 24 hours from the “Rajon Rondo has a torn ACL” announcement and I’m already drowning in columns, opinions and anal leakage about how the Celtics could, should and might move forward this season.
One thing is certain – the Celtics lack a true point guard. There are multiple reports stating the Raptors are prepared to move Kyle Lowry.
ESPN’s Marc Stein:...
Kyle Lowry more likely to be traded than Jose Calderon?
The Toronto Raptors are more willing to part with Kyle Lowry than Jose Calderon, according to CBS Sport's Ken Berger. The gist is that Lowry has been in Toronto for less than a year, and he's already worn out his welcome.
As far as destinations, Berger says Lowry could land in Dallas or Atlanta since he has just $1 million of his contract guaranteed for next season. But...

Toronto Raptors: Trade Ideas

Extremely Lowry and Incredibly Calderon
There is a very interesting situation brewing in Toronto, this time involving the guards instead of the big men. Kyle Lowry is still coming off the bench, this time with 22 minutes, taking 2 shots (missing both from downtown), and throwing in 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. Believe it or not (but believe it you shall), Jose Calderon had a similar line (0 points, 1 rebound, 13...
