Lowry is zipping around down here in that black Ferrari, playing golf pretty much anytime he can. He even started a luxury golf bag business. I'd be shocked if he signs with a team that is located somewhere he cannot golf year-round. By all accounts he's been very good with his money, so I think he would take less to play somewhere warm IF he in fact keeps playing.

Theres a direct parallel to lowry leaving and precious sucking.

Flynn is just starting to build chemistry with trent, precious, etc

Greener pastures ahead for sure


I don't know if I believe this. Precious played one year with lowry and had a 47% two point percentage. I mean was lowry generating that many open looks for aciuwa for three? I don't really thinks so. If there was an advantage there I doubt it was distinctive. Aciuwa's been at over 55% from two the last two seasons (and his TS% has improved despite lack of 3s), hasn't stopped certain people on realgm from **** all over his play, not that you're one necessarily (though maybe).

Fair point. He'd fit on Orlando too, and there's always Phoenix on the other side of the country, who could use 20-25 minutes a game at PG too.

Whoa, how did I not hear about these custom golf bags? There's a testimonial from Clint Eastwood lol. Kyle seems passionate for golf (and real estate --> WHO'S HOUSE???) so good for him.

We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, Malachi still a third stringer. We need better talent, period.

Third stringer playing 2nd string minutes. Even showing some improvement this is still hurting the team compared to having a veteran PG.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Shot is starting to fall. I dislike that he has that "FVV walk the ball up the court and probe to nothing" game, but he learned from the worst.

i've never seen him probe at all. He comes up the court, hands it off to Scottie or another playmaker and runs to the corner. Even if he has a mismatch or an opportunity he comes off the ball. Not sure if hes been instructed to be passive or he just has no confidence. Flynn also played behind lowry and was a 4 year college player hes learned from many.

Yeah we could still use a real backup PG. Monte Morris or Tyus Jones would be great targets.

He still has a chance to figure it out. Cam Payne took until year 6 to look serviceable.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

For all the haters:

And for all the defenders:

Malachai scored 50 and they still lost.

Also, atl’s defence clearly has earned its rep!
