Lowry watch 2021.

It’s over.

With the acquisition of George Hill, Kyle Lowry pursuit would have been somewhat redundant… so Woj is now saying that the Sixers are officially OUT on the Nova product:

Woj just said the Sixers are out on Lowry after the Hill trade.

Yeah, look – it just doesn’t make sense now. They went out and got a veteran ball handler, and beefed up the second unit in the process. Adding Lowry would still improve the team, but only marginally, and in an area that they just addressed.

This is interesting though:

The Warriors have emerged as a possible trade destination for Philadelphia's Danny Green, league sources say.

Huh? Another three-team trade? That’s probably what this is about.

Not sure who the Sixers would want from Golden State anyway. Kelly Oubre’s salary matches, but he’s not shooting very well this year (though he did have a really nice game against Philly the other night). Andrew Wiggins is too expensive. James Wiseman ain’t going anywhere. Same with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.

Dunno. If you have any thoughts, you tell me.
