Like many free agents did this past off-season, Lowry is looking to cash in. It’s been reported that he will opt out of the last year of his contract, which would have paid him $12 million. However, he’s stated that he would like to stay with the organization.
That’s good news and let’s face it – Lowry has earned a raise. Since signing with the Raptors in 2014, he has been a two-time NBA All-Star and a key piece as the team reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
Furthermore, he has found a home in Toronto, which has allowed him to flourish.
