What's new

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

Well, here's what we know:

- Lyles is very obviously involved in trade talks right now
- Dennis has mentioned recently that harming team chemistry is something they'll consider if the assets they're receiving are significant
- Peeks suggested that Indiana is a trade-partner, and implied Paul George.



I'm not sure we're gonna get him, but I'd celebrate HARD if we did. Quite frankly, I'm not really too down with George Hill. Again, he's a player I'd consider for the 2016 offseason, but let's see what Dante can do first. We are securing home court this year if we get Paul. Exum/Hayward/Paul/Favors/Gobert is simply a monster lineup, and I'm guessing that Burks, Burke, Lyles, and picks will be leaving. Probably Hood too, which would suck. I'd love a Hayward/George/Hood wing rotation. But I'll palate Burks rounding the wings too, if Hood leaves.

Keep Hood and this would be ideal. Lose Hood and we are no better off because our bench would be awful.

Here's a perfect example of stretching the already-stretched evidence past a breaking point.

You don't get Paul George without surrendering one of Hayward, Favors, Exum, or Gobert. End of ridiculous conversation.

You can sign some players. They won't be as good as Hood, but it's worth it to have George, don't be a clown. We need someone who can guard KD/Harden.

We 100% need to keep either Hood or Burks. I personally would prefer Hood-- Cotton, Neto, and Hanlan can handle ball-control stuff.
 
Glad to know there are conditions where Dal would move Hayward back to the 2. Blasphemy!

We could lose both.

You can get backups. It doesn't matter when you have Hayward/George taking 35 mpg each.

ESPN sources say that the Lakers and Pacers are actively discussing a trade where L.A. would take Roy Hibbert into salary-cap space

Not sure if this would have any impact on these talks
