Kyle Lowry isn’t going anywhere in the short term, and he seems to have his long-term NBA goals all figured out.

“I will retire as a Toronto Raptor,” Lowry said Wednesday night. “One-day contract, whatever happens.”

Lowry’s future became fodder for speculation again this week when a report suggested he’d been telling people around the league for a month that he expects to be dealt before the March 25 deadline. He bristled at that report — using his social media feed to debunk it — and reaffirmed that point Wednesday in a media session after the Raptors practised in Tampa.
