The Miami Heat acquired point guard Kyle Lowry from the Toronto Raptors last summer in a sign and trade for Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa. This move had been a long time coming, as they were close to picking up Lowry at the deadline of the 20’-21’ season.
At the time Miami landed him, Lowry was coming off a year with averages of 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game. He is a six-time All-Star and a 2019 NBA Champion. It had been rumored for quite some time that Lowry had his sights on Miami.
