Miami Heat Rumors: Kyle Lowry in Play?

Kyle Lowry has always been a Miami Heat type of guy. He most recently reminded us of that on Wednesday.

As noted, Tim Daniels of Bleacher Report indicated that the Heat are in play for him. Let’s look a bit closer.

Here is what Daniels had to say on the Lowry rumors. Although Philly is rumored to be his preferred destination, there are others in play.

"Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry is reportedly generating interest from the Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers ahead of the March 25 NBA trade deadline. Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Thursday that Lowry, a Philadelphia native, “would like” a move to his hometown Sixers, and a source told Pompey the sides “might be able to get something done.” The Raptors told Lowry they’d be willing to trade him to his preferred destination as a “reward” for his loyalty to the franchise for so long, but they would still want a fair-market offer from Philly, per Pompey."

The chances that he lands with Philly are probably the largest here, but the Heat should put in a good bid for him. He could really help whoever he lands with, though with Philly, he won’t supplant Ben Simmons, one would think.
