Toronto Raptors hang onto Kyle Lowry

The Toronto Raptors have decided against trading franchise icon Kyle Lowry, according to ESPN. 

Lowry has spent the last nine seasons in Toronto with the Raptors, reaching the NBA All-Star Game six times, and most notably winning the 2019 NBA Championship over the Golden State Warriors. Lowry is considered by many to be the greatest Toronto Raptor of all-time. 

Lowry is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and it will be interesting to see if he stays with Toronto. If not, perhaps the Raptors can work out a sign-and-trade (rather than losing him for nothing).
