Although Ibaka has played for three teams in the last year - being traded from OKC to Orlando last June and from the Magic to Raptors in February - the 6-foot-10 power forward is expected to command around $20 million a year. The Cavs were 16-for-41 from 3-point range.
"People say, 'Oh, you're over 30, '" Lowry said.
Lowry led the Raptors past Milwaukee in the opening round of the playoffs and was Toronto's best player in Games 1 and 2 against Cleveland. James scored 35 points in Game Three and Game Four and now has 5,846 points to trail Jordan by 151 points entering the Eastern Conference Finals.
"When you start breaking down a lot of the film, I definitely have been blessed to be able to get to the rim and finish around nearly anybody", Irving said. "Sitting on the bench in Game 3 suited up and knowing I can't play, Game 4 sitting there trying to help my team no matter what it was - helping them see plays, coach - it just sucks that I wasn't able to help my team".
Notes, quotes and observations after the Cavaliers defeated the Toronto Raptors 109-102 at Air Canada Centre to sweep the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
"We needed that, we needed to be tested throughout 48-minute games", Irving said.
One thing has to change: Either the person calling the plays or the person running the plays. You know, it's a man's league and I've heard a lot of bad things on that court, but at the end of the day, it stays on the court.

LeBron James scored 35 points, grabbed nine rebounds and had six assists to lead the Cavaliers, who won the National Basketball Association championship last season and will play either the Boston Celtics or Washington Wizards in the Eastern Conference finals. P.J Tucker had 14 points and 12 assists in his first career playoff start.
James had nine points in the fourth quarter. But you can't make up for his three-point shooting, his ability to score, especially when points are tough to come by. The common theory is that the core consists of DeMarre Carroll, DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry, and Jonas Valanciunas-all of whom have been together for multiple seasons. "We need figure out how to beat these guys". "That's all I've thought about right now". Now we have to figure out how we can win in the playoffs. But with age not on his side, it seems that Lowry wants to make sure he doesn't miss out on an National Basketball Association ring before his level of play declines. But Lowry is not too far behind and playing with a star-studded Clippers team will definitely make him better.
When asked to assess his performance on the season, Casey said "could have done better".
Bradley Beal (29 points) and John Wall (27) both impressed for the Wizards.
Isaiah Thomas had 19 points for Boston, but scored 17 in the first 15 minutes. Game Five is tomorrow in Boston.
Tucker closed out the scoring in the third quarter with a 3-pointer from the corner to cut Cleveland's lead to 85-80.
