Kyle Lowry May Hit Buyout Market, Interest from Lakers and 76ers

Evan Turner Advises Lowry to Avoid Lakers, Hornets Likely to Trade or Buy Out

  • Kyle Lowry, recently traded from the Miami Heat to the Charlotte Hornets, may hit the buyout market, with interest from the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers.
  • Former Boston Celtics player and assistant coach Evan Turner advised Lowry to avoid the Lakers, suggesting they would make him the 'fall guy'.
  • Lowry, at 37 years old, is past his prime but still productive, averaging 8.2 points, four assists, and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 42.6% from the field and 38.5% from three.
  • The Hornets, currently with a 10-33 record, are likely to either trade Lowry or buy him out.
  • Due to the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement, teams above the league’s first tax apron can’t sign anyone who makes more than the non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception, ruling out the Celtics as a potential destination for Lowry.
