I’m with you. I’m of the opinion that the only reason people are willing to pay Lowry this much money is because of:
(1) what Chris Paul did this year
(2) how limited the realistic options are in FA this year
I think whoever signs him to that contract will be sorely disappointed when he doesn’t turn out to be “the Answer” and they owe him money for 2 more years.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the guy is good, but would any of you have been suggesting $90/3 for him last summer?
