Trey Lyles

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.

During that slow start though he had a big opportunity to pick up playing time and played bad. I think he needed the trade as a bit of a wake up call that things weren't just going to be given to him.

I'm not sure why we are lamenting his loss right now... Thabo and Jonas are currently better stretch 4 options because they play defense. Trey would still be nailed to the bench if Millsap was healthy.

If the emergence of Trey makes them willing to part with Juan Hernangomez I'd personally rather have him though he has struggled when he's been on the court. he had Mono, so likely still trying to find his legs.
 
If I recall correctly, last season Orlando let a picture out of their "War Room" which showed a white board list of players who Orlando valued but were underutilized on their current team. Trey's name was prominently displayed on the list.

He was a former lottery pick getting zero playing time. I bet several teams called the Jazz about him.

For me I liked the idea of Trey Lyles, at least the idea that Dennis O'Lindsey painted in my mind. The actual player Trey Lyles was irritating from the very moment he refused to play at summer camp as a rookie, right up to wearing Lakers gear and goofing off during the playoffs. So, farwell Mr. Proprioception and enjoy riding NBA pine for the next 4 years.

Where did he say that?

I read it as thee would even give up hood (who is even better than lyles) now that we know how good DM is.

Of course that's what u got out of that. Lol. All I meant is I'd rather have DM over Hood and if that had been the trade, it was still a good trade. Lyles had nothing to do with it. With that said I'm glad it was Lyles over Hood

He still does not play defense and was just moved around so easily by other bigs.
 
The irony will be that we want a Lyles type next to Gobert and Mitchell sooner rather than later. More ironic, is that we wish we had a Millsap, Booker, Carroll, Korver, and Wes Matthews type too.

Yup and DL turned him into a home run with Mitchell. Excellent use of Lyles by DL.

When the trade happened I was like we sent Lyles and our pick plus what else for DM... then there was no what else and I was a little shocked. We got full value and then some for what Lyles had shown.

I know so little about guys coming into the league that I always take a wait and see approach to who we draft. I liked that DL did something on draft night but didn't even know that Mitchell existed before that night. But Mitchell took my wait and see aproach and blew it out of the water.

I have heard that but never officially. I have heard DL talk in some detail about the Jazz targeting Donovan after the Chicago camp and his visit to SLC. So the Jazz were very clear they were doing whatever they could to move up and that he was their guy. Hard for me to believe that the Jazz weren't working the phones aggressively to find a suitor.

Locke has said that the jazz told Denver they wanted to trade, then Denver called back right before the pick and asked for Lyles. I'm sure the jazz were very active, but the way it sounds from Locke and Dennis is that it was a surprise to them that Denver called.

Denver is the most amazing trade partner ever. Gobert and Mitchell are way better than those dudes they picked and Lyles.
 
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
