If you told me I'd be trading Kyrie for Lowry in a dynasty league I'd have laughed in your face... but here I am. And that contract Lowry has.. sheesh, it's like DDR who was mentioned earlier but 40 fppg is 40 fppg. I believe my team as-is is capable of making the finals if Kyrie gets healthy and plays games. Even before the news today though I'd come to the realization this wasn't a bet that was in my favor. My team is set up to win this year with an expiring Khris Middleton playing great ball alongside Mr. Steady Rudy Gobert and some decent depth so I feel like this is a move I need to make. I also don't have the pressure of feeling the need to retain Kyrie this summer so that's one less thing to worry about I guess.
The fans of Minnesota wish Kyrie and Joe Ingles all the best and will remember them fondly as integral parts of the 2018-2019 Championship season. Jaylen Brown does bring some future excitement although I'm not sure how I'll feel about matching whichever crazy makes him a stupid offer so I'm really just expecting a rental here.
Good talking Sean hope to make another deal again sometime!
