The Rockets are on the verge of trading PG Kyle Lowry to the Raptors for a deal that will include a future lottery pick, according ESPN's Marc Stein. Lowry was a bit of a fantasy beast last season, averaging 15 points, seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and two 3-pointers per game prior to the All-Star break, but saw his season cut short by an abominal injury that included an infection that required surgery. It will be interesting to see what the Raptors do with incumbent PG Jose Calderon, but it looks like the Raptors plan on starting Lowry at this point, meaning he should be a popular early target in fantasy drafts.
