With rumours of Raptors having an eye on SGA in the draft (who's a Canadian, Hamilton kid by the way), it makes sense that they're looking at moving Lowry. SGA is kinda like Wright, although with a bit more upside but less experience, and obviously they can't keep Wright, Lowry, FVV, plus SGA on the roster (could put SGA in the G-league for a year). Wright, FVV, and SGA would be a really intriguing and versatile guard combination; lots of length and defence. If they can get rid of Lowry for a pick around #10, avoid taking much salary back so that they can resign FVV, that's really solid for them.
Getting rid of Ibaka is going to be tough; they might have to settle for a swap of a similarly bad contract.
