The Toronto Raptors flipped Kyle Lowry to the Miami Heat in exchange for a package headlined by Precious Achiuwa and Goran Dragic. While these two certainly won’t be able to replace Lowry, there was some optimism that the Nigerian youngster and Slovenian veteran could help contribute to a winning culture.
Dragic didn’t seem like a piece for the Raptors in 2021 to some, as many expected him to be quickly re-routed to the Dallas Mavericks, where he could play alongside countryman Luka Doncic.
