Lowry, 35, will join Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo to form a star trio for the Heat next season and beyond.
Last season, Lowry averaged 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game while shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from 3.
The Heat are likely going to deal Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa in order to get Lowry, but they will still have the ability to bring back Duncan Robinson this offseason.
The sign-and-trade deal for Kyle Lowry to Miami will involve Goran Dragic, Precious Achiuwa, and a future second-round pick to Toronto, league sources tell @miaheatbeat.
