Keeping in mind the deep team depth of the Miami Heat, fans believe there is a good chance the team will get rid of the veteran guard. The 36-year-old guard seems to be struggling with the Heat. Lowry is averaging 12.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5 assists, shooting 40% from the field. Moreover, the guard is averaging a low of 7.7 points, playing 25.9 minutes in his last 10 games. Considering the above stats, fans believe there will be changes in the team.
Which team will Kyle Lowry be traded to?
Considering the age and performance of the one-time champion, there is very less chance of Lowry fitting in any team. Not everyone can be LeBron James, to average 30 points at 38 years of age. Although a few analysts in the NBA believe there are chances Lowry will resign with the?Toronto Raptors.?
