Yes, most likely it's just DL protecting Lyles, which is smart. Even though this is all about agent/gm interaction, fans will blame a player for being "selfish" in these situations.

Good.
He shouldn't show his cards publicly. None do.

I know, it just doesn't make much sense to lie about this thing specifically. As Cy said, most probably DL is trying to protect Lyles while they are negotiating the details on his contract.

So to get 120% he probably wants Lyles to play in summer league, work with the coaches, etc...I just don't see the holdup.
Gobert, Hood, Burke, Exum all got 120%

The hold up is that the agent wants more control and DL wants more control. That creates something called negotiations which take time as each side usually gives something up to reach a middle point.

There is a difference between reporting rumored interest and actual discussions going on in the present.

Don't get too caught up in the definition of 'lie.'
 
The only thing that can really be exciting news is that Lyles is going to play in the next Summer League game. Signing him isn't really exciting.
