It did seem like the deal was going to get done as other Raptors were moved to make room to add players coming in as Matt Thomas (Jazz) and Terence Davis (Kings) joined Norman Powell (Blazers) as those leaving.
When the three teams wouldn’t budge on the young asset Masai Ujrii elected to keep Lowry . The only player coming back in return is Gary Trent Jr. obtained in the trade with Portland.
