Reason Why It Will Happen #1: The Fresh Prince

North Philadelphia, born and raised, at a high school where Lowry spent most of his days… 

Lowry is from Philadelphia, and attended college at Villanova.

(If you haven’t gotten it by now, I’m ‘sending’ Lowry to Philly; whether it be via sign-and-trade or in free agency).

By putting Kyle Lowry in Philadelphia, he gets to have a homecoming NBA players often don’t get, and while many would view it as a downgrade from Toronto to Philly, it’d certainly be an upgrade for Philly who currently doesn’t know what it has in Ben Simmons; and a collection of role players holding down the 1 spot, although former undrafted free agent T.J. McConnell has filled in admirably.
