OAKLAND, Calif. -- Toronto Raptors soon-to-be free-agent guard Kyle Lowry had a meeting with backcourt partner DeMar DeRozan and Raptors coach Dwane Casey this week in the Bay Area, league sources tell ESPN.
The main impetus for the Casey-led assembly is unclear, but the Raptors are obviously under pressure to re-sign Lowry, who is projected to be one of the most coveted free agents on this summer's market.
Among Casey's objectives for the meeting, sources say, was to expose his players to the NBA Finals culture.
The meeting was significant enough that DeRozan flew in from Los Angeles for a day, a source said.
