Toronto Raptors trade rumors: Mike Conley trade, Lowry accepts trade and more

#2 Kyle Lowry will accept the Raptors decision to trade him

Toronto Raptors v Indiana Pacers

When the Raptors acquired Kawhi Leonard last summer, the trade broke up the longtime duo of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry. DeRozan had been expected to see out his career with the franchise, although he was sent to the San Antonio Spurs, as the Raptors opted to make a major change.

Reports over the last 48 hours have also linked Lowry with a trade away from the team that he has been with since 2012, and when asked about his future, Lowry revealed to ESPN that he would accept Toronto's decision to trade him:

They make moves, and they make moves for the best of the organization. If they do something, that will be their feeling to whatever the organization thinks is best for them. Reassurance would be great, but at the end of the day, they don't have to call me. My job is, as a player, to go out here and do my job. If they want to call me, that'd be great. I would appreciate it. But if they don't, I understand

Lowry has been a regular starter for the Raptors this season, averaging 14.2 points, 9.2 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. Nevertheless, Toronto are rumored to be looking at younger options, and Lowry could be the senior player to make way.
