NBA Rumor: Kyle Lowry to the 76ers?
NBA Rumors: Kyle Lowry could be getting traded to Philadelphia!

ISport Times reported a rumor today. That rumor was that Kyle Lowry could potentially be headed to Philadelphia and play for the 76ers. In return, the Sixers would give up the big man Jahlil Okafor.
This is now Lowry's 11th NBA season. Lowry is also 30 years of age. He was born and raised in Philadelphia, so that part does make some sort of sense. He has played for the Raptors for just four years and has performed his best as a Raptor. Lowry has been an all star for the past two seasons and was a member of the NBA's all third team. He was also selected to the Rio Olympic games in 2016.
Lowry would be a perfect fit in Philly. Not only is he from Philadelphia, he is a great ball player. He can score, shoot, pass, and defend. He is the complete package. He will automatically make his teammates around him better. If Lowry went to Philly, the Sixers would be a playoff team.
The Raptors would have to give up a great player in Lowry. The dynamic backcourt of Derozan and Lowry would split up and that'd be pretty sucky. However, Lowry is already 30 and the Raptors team is pretty young. In four years, Lowry will be out of his prime. Jahlil Okafor is a young, big, strong and smart player. The Raptors could have him for a long long time. Either way the deal is good for both sides. So, if you were the GM would you accept or decline this trade? Why or why not?
