#1 Kyle Lowry wants to stay with the Raptors

Kyle Lowry was among the standout performers as the Toronto Raptors win their first championship

Kyle Lowry formed a key part of the Toronto Raptors' title-winning season, although the point guard's future has been called into question after Kawhi Leonard opted to leave Canada for his native Los Angeles.

Without the presence of Leonard, the Raptors should still be good enough to reach the playoffs, although Nick Nurse's team will struggle to compete with the likes of the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.

Due to this, some have speculated that the team could trade senior players like Lowry, although the 33-year-old has reiterated his desire to remain in Toronto:

Kyle Lowry tells @SInow that he has had no conversations with the Raptors about his future. Says he is open to signing an extension and would like to be in Toronto long term.

Lowry joined the Raptors back in 2012 and is entering the final season of his current three-year, $100 million deal. During the 18-19 season, the veteran averaged 14.2 points, 8.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game.
