Kyle Lowry will be one of the most sought-after free agents on the open market and the highest-profile of this year’s class that has the best chance of moving on to a new team. The New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat seem to be his best suitors and it might ultimately depend on the money.

Even though Lowry is 35 years old, there’s a good chance that he gets a three-year deal. He’ll be looking to get one more big payday before he retires and, hopefully, at the same rate another opportunity to compete for a championship.

The dark horse here is that Lowry is good friends with Jimmy Butler. And after the Miami Heat missed on James Harden last season, I find it hard to believe that the team isn’t going to do everything that they can to give Jimmy a nice little offseason gift.

Prediction: Miami Heat
