Yeah there's no way his best days aren't behind him, he's just too drat injured. Not just irritating injuries either, but a battery of legitimately serious leg injuries. It's amazing that he's still as quick as he is but in 3 years that's gonna be the league's biggest albatross

Lowry is making 28MM and he's their highest paid player

Comparison: Washington is already paying out 98 million for 2020-21, Toronto: 38 MM

Toronto has about 7 or 8 players who can shoot 3's, and Washington's D sucks

Even if it was mandaged by management, Casey has done a great job updating the offense for modern times. They get so many good shots off of off ball action, and since they're behind the line, they count for one more point. Their bench plus 3 random NBA rotation guys would probably be a better team than most of the teams not in the playoffs, maybe Detroit and the Clippers and Nuggets are better.

It's also Lowry's expiring year and essentially a reward for how much he's done for the team. Not the same, necessarily, as overpaying a PG who might be physically wrecked long before the year he REALLY starts getting paid

the problem with the wizards team is they're basically capped out for the next 4 years on a team that doesn't really seem to have any path above maybe a 2nd round playoff team

you could make a case one of those contracts on a different team wouldnt be horrible but the combination, woof
