Kyle Lowry May Hit Buyout Market, Interest from Lakers and 76ers

Evan Turner Advises Lowry to Avoid Lakers, Hornets Likely to Trade or Buy Out

Kyle Lowry, recently traded from the Miami Heat to the Charlotte Hornets, may hit the buyout market, with interest from the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers.
Former Boston Celtics player and assistant coach Evan Turner advised Lowry to avoid the Lakers, suggesting they would make him the 'fall guy'.
Lowry, at 37 years old, is past his prime but still productive, averaging 8.2 points, four assists, and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 42.6% from the field and 38.5% from three.
The Hornets, currently with a 10-33 record, are likely to either trade Lowry or buy him out.
Due to the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement, teams above the league’s first tax apron can’t sign anyone who makes more than the non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception, ruling out the Celtics as a potential destination for Lowry.
