Lowry is certainly one of the most wanted players in the off-season. Given the lack of premier playmakers like Lowry in the league, the 35-year-old is a blockbuster addition to any team.

This is certainly a big sum of money and will be a big blow for contenders like the Lakers. The Lakers who have a vacant point guard position in the off-season, have been linked with the likes of Lowry and his former teammate DeMar DeRozan.

But with two superstars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis in their side, the Lakers only have a handful of players under contract and given the limited budget they have available this summer, giving a hefty contract like the one Lowry is demanding might not be a risk worth taking.
If these latest reports turn out to be true, the Lakers might be in for a tumultuous off-season. While they are also being linked to the likes of Russell Westbrook, Lowry is arguably the perfect fit with his playmaking and also adds much-needed three-point shooting.
