Trey Lyles

[Jazz Spazz]

If I am Denver next year I call DL and offer a trade. Then I find out who he wants to draft and then let the deal fall through and draft that guy lol

And then DL never takes a phone call from you again. There are only 30 of these guys, and ruining a relationship will most likely come back to bite you later. DL may mention as much to other front offices and that turns into more teams not taking your call.

If I was Denver, I wouldn't do that, and it has nothing to do with hurting Utah.

Lyles was never trash. He had a good rookie year then got minutes crunched last year after a slow start. You got to give up something good to get something good. Trades are suppose to be win/win.

You ****ing high? Lyles was hot garbage last year and lost his spot - deservedly - to two 40-year olds, one of which was fat, lovable, and produced almost nothing.

**** Trey Lyles. DL salvaged and redeemed himself beyond comprehension by getting DM, but had that not happened, Lyles would be one of the worst decisions he's ever made.

He wasn't that* bad. Plenty of dudes struggle in the first half of their sophomore year before turning it around.

There's sucking by being invisible, and then there's sucking by being a horrible chucker that doesn't hit shots, doesn't pass, doesn't rebound, doesn't D up, doesn't care, and doesn't learn a ****ing thing.

I hated Lyles coming out because he seemed like a soft, aloof player, but the Jazz were filling a need and thought they could harness his talent.

Surprise! They couldn't. You can't do much with 6' 10" children, it turns out.

And yeah, I'm probably a little saltier than I should be, especially since everything actually came out net positive (I'd rather have DM over Bobby Portis [who I still love and would've picked there] and even Devin Booker), but that tweet he sent out after Hayward dicked us crystallized everything I ever thought about the kid.

lyles had a good offensive game but dont let that fool you. he was hot trash on defense, kept nugs in it but also had a serious **** show showing down the stretch.

Poor man's CJ Miles playing PF.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Has his defense improved any? He was a horrific defender. If not, don't care about 25 points.

 

[Douchebag K]

the real issue with Lyles is that he is a child who gave up when the going got tough

 

[sahlensguy]

Career bench player.

I can live with losing him within the division.

In other Trey News, Trey Burke was named GLeague player of the month. He is the league's 2nd leading scorer.

Calmate amigo. It was said in jest.

Aye, I saw that Lyles had a good game. I was actually pretty high on him until he fell apart mentally last year. If he can ever figure things out he could be a decent player. I think what will always limit him to a bench gunner role is that he just can't play defense well enough on the perimeter or in the post to not be a huge mismatch for NBA level starters. Good luck to him, though. Even though he gloated a bit when Hayward left, I still will remember his bench antics fondly.

Even in the game where he was hot he got smoked on defense and the team was a -4 with him on the floor... He played 26 minutes, scored 25 points, and the team was still minus in those minutes.

He could end up being Ryan Anderson like, but he needs to defend if he's going to get regular minutes.

My current hypothesis is that Lyles sucks and that Mitchell is significantly, significantly, significantly superior to him.

This is similar to my theory that Trey'd Lolz is a substantially weaker player than Mitchell.

I think both theories may be true... interesting.

Mitchell would give you better D at the 4 than Lyles would and you can quote my mother****ing *** on that.

Since Lolz 25 point game started this, let’s update with tonight’s games:

Mitchell - 32
Lolz - 9

Let’s go ahead and close this.

Lyles had a really nice dunk tho.

It's crazy how much leaner he looks this year.
