Have the Miami Heat seen Kyle Lowry’s best year there already?
By Eric Fritts
Kyle Lowry was acquired by the Miami Heat about a year ago in a sign-and-trade deal with Toronto. He was coveted for his playmaking, scoring, and overall skills at running an NBA team on the floor.
For the most part, that showed. Lowry got the ball moving in transition, was able to shoot to get buckets when needed, and was an overall good fit when he was healthy.

That caveat might be a bit bigger of a factor to consider when approaching this season. Last year he played 63 games, which was, more or less, the average for him.
But he only played ten of the potential 18 playoff games and severely underperformed. Granted, that performance was because of his injuries but that contributes to the overall point here.
Lowry has, more than likely, played his best season for the Miami Heat already. Considering he has two years and about $58 million left on his current contract, keeping him in the fold may not be ideal.
