For the longest time, this NBA free agency period for the Raptors was going to be all about Giannis Antetokounmpo. The simplest look at it is this:If the Raptors let the 35-year-old Lowry walk, they could be left with nearly $20 million (U.S.) in salary cap space with which to attract free agents. So there are questions both the Raptors and Lowry have to answer. But it’s not all up to the Raptors because if Lowry wants to move on, he will. There will be a level of collaboration between the Raptors and Lowry if he wants to leave, but only to a degree.
