Grange, mind you, is the same guy who wrote an entire article saying Lowry wasn’t going to be traded.
He said this two weeks ago:
“There’s a lot of ground to cover, so let’s start here: Lowry is not going to be dealt before the March 25 trade deadline. It’s not that the Raptors and Lowry haven’t mulled over the pros and cons of making a mutually agreeable deal for the 15-year veteran heading into free agency, or that there isn’t interest in the six-time all-star who comes with a shipping container’s full of intangibles along with averages of 18 points, 5.5 rebounds and seven assists per game along with 40.3 per cent shooting from deep — all marks that are in the neighbourhood of his career peaks.”
Obviously the Raptors have stunk since then, so the franchise thinking certainly could have changed.
Consider this a shot at redemption for Grange. If he can break news of a Lowry trade he puts himself back on top. If he doesn’t, he goes on time out for the rest of the afternoon.
