Trey Lyles

Damn.
Truly wish Jazz could have given something else up.
Was he given up because the FO thought he was a bust or did Denver really want him??

Not suggesting they did the wrong thing to get DM... just curious as to what the reasons were for giving Lyles specifically up.


This thread is based on a large sample size of current season success

Hahaha

I get it Lyles could turn out to be good, but why beat yourself up over losing a potential good player if it nets u a potential star player?

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.

Knowing what we know now, I'd have no problem trading Hood for Mitchell if that's what Denver was asking. For all we know that's what they asked for first and maybe Utah said no. Who knows.

Denver called and asked for Lyles.

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.

Think you misread him.

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.

Guy has one good game and we all want him back... too funny.

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.
