Kyle Lowry's trade to the Raptors ranks among the most lopsided deals of this decade, pretty easily. In 6 seasons north of the American border, Lowry has averaged 17.8 points, 6.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, consistently earning All Star game selections and leading the Raptors to a couple of 50-win seasons and a #1 seed in 2017-18.

Lowry's main offensive prowess lies in shooting elite percentages from range. His shooting ability causes defenses to deform in much the same way as Curry does, opening things up for players around him. At 6'0", Lowry is also one of the best defensive point guards in the game, and can guard players much bigger than him on switches pretty effectively.

Currently signed to the franchise for 2 more seasons, Lowry will be looking to join forces with Kawhi in leading the Raptors to their first Finals appearance this season.
