The NBA has officially approved the trade sending Kyle Lowry to the Raptors in exchange for Gary Forbes and a future first-round pick.
We're still waiting to see whether the Raptors trade Jose Calderon (and his expiring contract), but either way Lowry is likely to start at PG and play heavy minutes. In 38 starts for Houston last year, he averaged 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.8 steals in 35.5 minutes. The Raptors have an intriguing roster and a wealth of young talent, including rookies Terrence Ross and Jonas Valanciunas, and Lowry seems like an excellent veteran fit on the roster.
