5. Kyle Lowry

This was probably my toughest one. While I fully expect Kyle Lowry to make big money this summer, I just can’t come up with a reasonable list of teams that will be willing to give him a huge contract.

The point guard market is really deep this summer, but there just aren’t a ton of teams looking for an upgrade at the position. One of his biggest reported suitors, the Philadelphia 76ers, just added a franchise player at the position, so we have to scratch them off.

I don’t think the Spurs are going to spend big money on him, neither will the Utah Jazz. Heck, they don’t even want to pay George Hill. Maybe the Minnesota Timberwolves if them move Ricky Rubio? I don’t know…

Prediction: Toronto Raptors
