I am glad this is coming to closure sooner rather than later.
My son starts his job at BestBuy this Thursday and I was afraid I would have to wait until then to see what was happening with Lyles...

I hate it when I hear Jazz news the same day someone I know starts a new job, it's so awkward.

Trey hasn't even been in Utah. Its one thing for his agent to say lets not have him play full contact games until he's signed, its another to not even have him around to talk with coaches, train, etc. Seems like this was a negotatinig tactic on his camps part, not necessarily the Jazz holding out for cap room. Dennis is going to obviously say its on Jazz so that the fans don't turn on a player.

Ok. Interesting perspective. Thanks for the response.

Dude, his agent was trying to use leverage to get the stuff he wanted into the contract. Part of that leverage is holding Trey out of practices and from the coaches. You have to play hardball to get the things you want.
 
I dont see Trey as a problem type of player. I completely misread him from his interview, and first work out with the team.

I think he is very mellow, chill, down to earth type of player.

With that said I dont think we see him until Thursday night.

I don't like that Trey wasnt even in town. Makes me think he was being difficult with the contract, not the Jazz.

First round picks have a standard contract, they aren't a contract like in the NFL where you can negotiate your price.

Edit.... nevermind, nothing to see here

I agree that is what they were doing. I posted that I thought thats what they were doing when it was being reported that he only wasn't here because the Jazz needed cap flexibility.

You're not doin so hot today.

Pretty sure he was making a subtle best buy/Carlos boozer joke.

Yeah standard best buy joke, but honestly I don't think HeyHey/Salt13 was around when best buy jokes were all the rage 3-4 years ago.
