Trey Lyles being held out of practice/Summer League for now

Okay, truth..

I have fantastic connections to UK coaches and players (current and ex) as well as some media by extension. My stuff comes from chatter around the team.
In my personal forum I was keeping track of announcements by players broadcasting on ESPN. At one point I was hitting about 90% and was careful to distinguish which were KNOWN vs. educated guesses based on insider rumors (known, i.e. was Calipari getting a call before the announcement and it leaking).

If you think my info is suspect, be glad I only share about 1% of what I hear. It's all so fluid, **** changes by the minute... and if you get too wrapped up in it, it will drive you crazy. You just gotta roll with it.
Tbh, after I posted about Lyles on draft night, I had poster's remorse and wished I had waited a bit longer to say anything, but I was just excited.

Yes, I troll. Yes, that would make it understandable to have people be cautious.

So... in arenas that are not visible to me, you are impressive? Ok

now that's a good show. Maybe this thread can morph into that now? NAOS can be Abed, and you can be Jeff Winger.

Any TV shows where the lead is a failed bow-legged academic with a Bluetooth headset?

I've grown to like Lyles, and think he'll be really good for us.

Same. Watching these SL games, I can't help but think a near 6'11" player with SF skills could look unique out there and be very effective. Admittedly, part of that is that I think Lyles is a much better long range shooter than he showed at UK.
 
Connecting dots here... I don't think we are signing anyone so this is likely an uneven salary deal we are looking at. My guess is it depends when an who David West signs with. If he signs with Spurs they have no more need for Diaw and might move him along with assets (mills, Kyle Anderson, first rounder) to us... If he goes to Cleveland I don't see any deal we would be involved in.

If he goes to Washington is there some sort of 3 way involving Nene? May be no deal here.

Something is holding this up and I think its the David West situation.

Don't think this is a mega deal as others may think.
 
Somethings holding it up....But, I hope its a blockbuster to the Jazz....D.L get us that superstar and doesnt include Hood, Exum, Hayward, Favors, or Gobert.

So we are trading Booker, Burks, Burke and draft picks for a super star? Seems farfetched.

I legit think it is Diaw and Mills into our capspace if SA get a commit from West. The numbers are so close with our space and their salaries that it would make sense to preserve the $300k+ of flexibility. It may be Cotton to SA for Diaw and Mills.

We then may have a follow up deal for Booker and Burke to go somewhere... picks/dead money coming back... Like Booker and Burke to Washington for Webster and a pick... something smallish like that.

If West doesn't go to SA I think we move Booker for McBob and I hope a pick swap option on the 2017 GSW first rounder with the Heat's first rounder. Saves them like $20 M this year and opens up more cap space for them next year.

Call me crazy but I wouldn't want to do that Spurs deal. Why try and make them better, for a low 1st rounder. I could see the Mcroberts trade but i'd want a future 1st plus the rights to swap. Your saving them like 20 million. Mcroberts could be a great pickup, depending on his injury. Again, theirs a bigger deal / situation holding things up.
 
Im not about to read this whole thread but what's the consensus on this move by the front office? Does it have a precedent? It's kind of wierd right?
