This is why I don't see Booker here long term. He's just not that good. I don't think he stays on as a fourth big and I hope we have a better third big.

Not bloody likely. Booker might get traded, but I don't believe Lyles is anywhere close to taking Booker's job this year.

agree with Cappy. Booker is able to put a unique imprint on the game with this group of guys (as currently constructed). It's an imprint that is based on athleticism and scrappiness. Extending posessions; saving others. If Lyles steps in at some point, then it won't be because he's beat Booker at his game. It'll be because he makes his own kind of impact more impactful than Booker's. I don't see that happening at all next year. If it does, it'll be late in the year.

I also expect Booker to have worked on his 3-point game, which will make him that much harder to dislodge. .....if he doesn't get traded.
 
Lyles isn't going to play meaningful minutes this year. Booker will. Of course I am assuming that our big rotation goes injury free, which isn't likely. . .

Well, he came to Utah knowing he'd be the 4th big (or at least the backup PF). He's 4th-big good, IMO. I think he's valuable enough to keep around at $6-$7M once the cap rises.

Which is why we still need another big, one who can play minutes at the 5.

Once Tomic becomes officially unavailable, then I'm going to captain the Aaron Baynes bandwagon. All are welcome.
