Would trade Lyles for Randle?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I can't tell if he is kind of a dick or just super laid back... until further notice I am assuming the latter.

Not understanding why so many say he's a dick? How has being laid back been construed as being a dick? I've listened to a lot of his interviews, and I'm not seeing anything that would even come close to looking like he's a dick.

Nope.

When Randle was at UK I was thinking 'I can't wait til Trey Lyles is here next year!!' Ill stick with my gut. Randle will certainly be much more productive this season though.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Would I? Yes.

Would LA: No.

Trey with his passing is a better fit. Love Randle's Hunger though.

Well he's from UK, so...

Lyles just seems too laid back to ever become more than a role player even if he has the talent to become a 1 or 2 option. Probably not fair, but I can't get past it. Just doesn't seem to have the fire, the arrogance, or the competitive nature it takes to be great.

A place where he sacrificed minutes and forced to play out of position probably costing him a couple draft slots costing him money and he never complained as far as I can tell

I would do this trade too probably, however I doubt Randle would appreciate chasing SFs on defense, something Lyles can do albeit with a few caveats. I am mostly hoping that Lyles can become like AK with a bit more shooting considering that their situations are similar: both were mostly forced to play out of position.

Yep.

Because that's how you jazzfanz. You are supposed to find a reason to hate people.

You are usually pretty good at this.

U generally do a good job at giving me reasons

I'm not saying I wouldn't trade Lyles for Randle, but the whole argument that Randle is better because he was the 7th pick in his draft I would argue that had Lyles played at his true position with starter minutes he might have gotten picked inside the top ten. Not saying he would've but it's possible. And I'm not entirely sure the 14 draft was better then 15. Maybe top 3 were stronger but the rest I'm not too sure. If u took the lotto in 14 and lotto in 15 how would u rank them just taking their college careers into consideration.
