    But is Lowry + 14 + 16 worth a top 10 pick?

    Lowry is 26, has been in the league for 7 years, the best averages of his career are 14.3 ppg & 6.7 apg, and at the end of last year he wasn't even a starter on a non-playoff team. If you don't consider that in the vicinity of average for a 'starting' point guard then we simply disagree on what 'in the vicinity of average' means.

    I will personally run Olshey out of town if he trades the #6 for Lowry

    Again though, what if it is Lowry and picks?

    Ok.


    I wouldn't be upset if it included 14 and 16, but would otherwise

    When did Lowry get on that CP3/Deron tier?

    His career high PER is 19 and has been pretty mediocre for the most part. This hype machine is crazy!

    No reason to defend your stance. It's not like we are talking about an elite level player. Although I think he could get close.

    Career PER of 19 is pretty damn good, no? Our very own Kevin Porter had a career PER of 17.2

    C'mon, man. Don't you think I know the difference? I was referencing the great Hobie Brown. He always used to call Terry, Kevin

    Huh? No one has put him on the cp3 deron tier.

    But he is a capable 19 PER pg on a fantastic deal.

    I'm not against Lowry. I don't think them trading Lowry guarantees they're keeping Dragic. I'm pretty sure he's a UFA.

    Dragic is an UFA. However, both he and Houston want him to be in Houston

    Wait, you mean you don't remember everything that's being discussed in a 164 page long thread?!?

    (The thread you started is fine. Not sure what you mean by get in trouble. The only person that gets regularly punished around here is HCP's wife.)
