When the buzzer went to begin NBA Free Agency at 6:00 p.m. EST on Monday, the Miami Heat were quick to act.
They orchestrated a sign-and-trade for former Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry, who agreed to a three-year deal. The specifics of the deal have yet to be released.
Lowry, 35, was one of the most coveted point guards on the 2021 free agent market. He averaged 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game last season, shooting 43.6 percent from the floor and 39.6 percent from beyond the arc.
