Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard Source: Forget Kyle Lowry to Houston. Rockets wanted sign & trade but Toronto won't deal bc they want to keep Lowry
Ken Berger @KBergCBS With @BaxterHolmes reporting Celtics have reached out to Gordon Hayward, interest is mutual. Brad Stevens was the RFA's coach at Butler.
Brian Windhorst @WindhorstESPN Heat telling free agents they will have $12+ million to spend, indicating Wade & Bosh ready to take huge pay cuts, sources told ESPN
Brian Windhorst @WindhorstESPN 3m The Heat have targeted Kyle Lowry and are seeking a meeting with him today. Also could target Marcin Gortat.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....llion-wade-four-years-starting-at-12-million/ Report: LeBron wants 1-2 year deal at max; Bosh five years starting at $11 million, Wade four-years starting at $12 million
Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA 1m I've heard flip-flopped #s for Bosh and Wade -- $12M for CB, $10M for DW -- but regardless, those are kind of #s MIA needs to get real space
If true, hats off to Wade. He took less money at his peak to bring Lebron and Bosh over and is now opting out of a lot of money to take less so Heat can be more competitive so they can keep Lebron (who is demanding the max). Hope Miami fans appreciate how devoted Wade is to the Heat franchise.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 2m Kyle Lowry completed his meeting with Toronto GM Masai Ujiri and coach Dwane Casey, and mulling Raptors offer, league source tells Yahoo.
Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA 3m If those salaries end up real, Bosh will have sacrificed to a pretty shocking degree. Had real market at $16M/$17M, opted out of $20M X 2
Morey is clueless. He thinks real life basketball is like fantasy basketball. Oh we can't get bron? Ok let's get melo. No melo? Ok let's get Lowry. No real plan.
He suffers from the same affliction as Bob Whitsitt. They don't value chemistry. They only value talent on paper.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 2m After Toronto/Houston visits, Lowry huddling w/ agent Andy Miller. Heat, Lakers want meetings. Holding pattern, mulling Raps/Rockets offers.
Kurt Helin @basketballtalk 2m Reports: Kyle Lowry mulling offer from Raptors, him going to Houston “dead” http:// hahahah suck it Houston.
Sam Amico @SamAmicoFSO If there's issue w Heat, it's Wade still getting superstar $$. One prominent agent says client won't go there "to get less shots than Wade."
