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

[Saint Cy of JFC]

They already dumped salary to Detroit.

I thought I read something that they would have to dump a bit more, maybe Im remembering wrong.

Whatever it is, I'm assuming it's tied to Aldridge and his decision somehow, which would explain why we are waiting on something to happen instead of a yes/no choice.

If HOU does add LA, they have a PF logjam. LA, Smith, DMo, and Thomas. Something's gotta give. If they decide to resign Josh Smith, DMo might be the odd man out, and kinda perfect for the Jazz as a 3rd big. Booker + Lyles gets it done, assuming HOU adds an additional salary dump player and a pick

We help them clear space to pair LA with Dwight and Harden and we give them a first rounder from this year? Why? They'd have to toss in Capela at minimum.

Motienujas would be nice, but this upcoming year will the last year of his deal and you know he is going to get a huge offer in free agency.

IF jazz move Lyles that is a definite upgrade.

This all seems really weird for a team that as of recently has put so much stock into the youth movement. Especially with summer league here, and in SLC. Just all seems weird.

 

[Dr. Jones]

lol... relax.

if it is a combo of Burke / Burks and our bench scrubs fine I'd be pissed if they did all this talking up of how well Lyles fits in and then trade him

I'm going to take a wild stab at the deal...

We take Diaw and Patty mills into our capspace... send out Neto or something small. The numbers are really close and something like this might be in jeopardy with a few hundred thousand dollars difference.

We can then shop Booker and Trey Burke for something.

Wild shot in the dark, but if it happens I will claim to be a prophet and likely be insufferable.

I think if Lindsay was getting a call he wasn't expecting... It would be more exciting then diaw/mills?

I don't get this. Would you really expect them to say we just drafted a guy we don't really like and hope to trade him? That would put them at a disadvantage in trade talks and would present a chemistry issue if we ended up stuck with him. Fans just need to place their faith in the FO to do what's best for the team.

Right on. See the sig.
