Kyle Lowry is leaving the Raptors. Here's a timeline of his journey in Toronto, from 2012 to 2021.

@libaanstar1 has the story:

July 2012: Media day in Toronto:

Showing up in a bow tie, then 26-year-old @Klow7 told reporters he was confident he could bring something to the team. What followed were injuries that plagued his first season

2013-2014: Raptors, with Lowry, make their first playoff appearance since 2007-2008

Lowry falls to the ground in Game 7 against the Brooklyn Nets after Paul Pierce blocks his final shot. A heartbreaking moment for Toronto.

Taking a break in a timeline to bring up 2014-2018: the budding bromance between @Klow7 and @DeMar_DeRozan.

On the court, the two led. Off-the-court they became family.

2016-2017: Lowry, the Olympic champion and another fantastic season

Coming off a Team USA Olympic gold medal, he averaged a career-high 22.4 points, 7.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds in his NBA season which was once-again ended by LeBron James and the Cavs. thestar.com/sports/raptors…
2018-2019: Losing DeMar. Becoming an NBA Champion

An unforgettable year for this city. Toronto traded DeRozan for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green. A tough start to the season, Lowry fought it out along with his new teammate to take the NBA Championship.

2019-2020: Bubble year

Despite Leonard leaving to play for the Los Angeles Clippers, the Raptors continued their competitive spirit with Lowry, who re-upped on a one-year $31 million contract extension. De-railed by COVID-19, we got Bubble Lowry. thestar.com/sports/raptors…
2021: Goodbye Lowry

Now after nine seasons, Lowry leaves Toronto as the franchise’s all-time leader in assists, steals, three-points made and triple doubles.

The majority of economists surveyed by the Star forecast that Toronto’s home prices are set to decline by 30 per cent or more from the February peak to spring 2023.

This is a drop many economists would define as a housing crash — as the Bank of Canada continues to push interest rates upward to curb inflation.

And at least another three-quarter percentage point rate hike is coming next week. An illustration of houses in a bubble
If history is any guide, there is a chance prices could drop even more, as the crash takes on a life of its own and investors abandon a tanking market, propelling house prices down longer and further than many expect.

“Midnights” might be the best album of Taylor Swift’s discography, writes @aisling_murph_.
thestar.com/entertainment/…
Swift rifles through the pages of her personal life like a scrapbook, giggling at inside jokes and revelling in the creative choices that propelled her to stardom over a decade ago, says Murphy.

Though “Midnights” was officially released at 12 a.m. on Oct. 21, the “3AM” B-side was, you guessed it, released to the hounds just three hours later.
