Kyle Lowry traded to the raptors! - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

The Raptors are close to acquiring Kyle Lowry in a trade agreement with the Rockets.

Houston will receive at least one first round pick.

Either Houston is confident they'll get Lin or they are tanking.

I'm guessing this is part of their Howard or bust strategy. It's an unprotected 2013 #1 that they get to throw into the pot along with all the middle of the road prospects.

The Rockets and Raptors are working on something "innovative," source says, with lottery protection on 1st round pick returning to Houston.

The Raps may actually make some noise next year if the Jonas kid pans out.

I really need to see the final details of this one before providing my analysis.

Innovative? Lottery protection has been done before. That type of term implies something really crazy.

**RollWithEm** · 07-05-2012, 11:44 AM

Like the lottery protection changes only if it is traded to the Magic?

MT @Jonathan_Feigen: Rockets get Gary Forbes in trade, source said, but will deal Lowry for pick. Exact details of pick protection still TBD

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Rockets are telling people theyre guaranteed future Lottery pick from Toronto in Lowry deal (ESPN first), tho it's unclear how that happens.

**RollWithEm** · 07-05-2012, 12:06 PM

Maybe the Rockets get the Raptors next lottery pick, regardless of what year that occurs in.

**HKF** · 07-05-2012, 12:15 PM

Yes, innovation.

So essentially lotto-protected the first year, and then an inverse non-lotto protection every year after?

**Laker Freak** · 07-05-2012, 12:32 PM

This is an interesting concept that I'm surprised hasn't been used before. Lowry is definitely worth a lottery pick in the 6-13 range. Not sure If I'd take him over a top 5 selection though.

So Houston has two great point guards both of which don't want to share minutes and deserve to be starters. So what do they do? Fail to resign one and then the next day trade the other. Leaving them praying they can overpay Lin or resign Aaron brooks. Good job Houston!

Daryl Morey is really confusing me this summer.
