The Toronto Raptors would prefer to trade Kyle Lowry over Jose Calderon, according to league sources.

Lowry was acquired last offseason from the Houston Rockets in exchange for Gary Forbes and a future first-round lottery pick.

Lowry is averaging 13.8 points and 5.8 assists in 27.7 minutes behind Calderon.

Lowry's ego may be to big for him to ever remain on a team.

You're going to need to elaborate in order to back up a point you've just made with no credible sources...

The guy has a shitty attitude and is a prima donna.

It took a simple google search to find many sources, this is the most recent from only yesterday:

And while Jose Calderon has frequently been mentioned as trade bait, league sources say the Raptors are far more amenable to trading Kyle Lowry, who has not made many friends in his new surroundings….

Kyle Lowry, who has quickly worn out his welcome in Toronto, could be an option for the Mavs or Hawks, who are both in need of point-guard help. With only $1 million guaranteed next season, Lowry would be a short-term fix without clogging up future cap space.

Still find it hard to believe the Rockets got a guaranteed lotto pick for him.

I've never heard anything reported other than him not getting along with McHale, and McHale isn't exactly a great head coach. Neither is Dwayne Casey. Before them, he had Hollins and Adleman, two excellent coaches. They never bitched about him.

He'd certainly be an upgrade over Courtney Lee at point.
Courtney Lee isn't a point guard you retard


And obviously he'd upgrade over JET/Starbosa, doesn't mean we should give up solid assets for half a year of him


Unless we give up only Bass, or we are getting back Derozan and/or TRoss, I don't want to trade for Lowry at all

I made that comment based on Courtney Lee starting at the 1 on Sunday. And retard? Really? We're still using that term so lightly, nowadays? Why don't you just throw <Censored> out there while you're at it?

You ought to think about word choice a bit. It's time to get out of the dark ages.

Adelman is like Phil Jackson in managing his players.  That's why you never heard anything. And in Memphis he was nothing more than a role player.

It didn't hurt or nothing. Just thought I'd point it out that it's not exactly a word still accepted in today's society. Not in that context, anyway.

Also, we know that being gay isn't a choice, and neither is being mentally handicapped. Doesn't that kind of put both retard and <Censored> on the same level of inappropriate/offensiveness?
