[Woj]Spurs have pulled offer to Marcus Morris and agreed to a deal with free agent Trey Lyles

[Leetonidas]

Metu will be starting by January and have a better season than Morris. Log it.

Dude looked 10x worse than Lyles last year. Highly doubt that tbh

[EricB]

Should've just done whatever needed to be done to move up for Rui. The next Nephew would've been starting by midseason at the latest.

You wouldve traded Walker Bertans and 2 unprotected firsts? Cause that’s what Washington wanted for the 9th

[Solid D]

Playing for a team all swole with PFs....8.8 % NY state tax. That would be around $1.3M in state taxes...with the wealthy leaving NY in droves...Playing for a losing team with a clueless GM ...and a highly critical, high maintenance fan base...one less year guaranteed. Enjoy.

[Maddog]

Just as bad as it gets

Lyles was on his way out of the league. He's a bad guy and a locker room cancer and selfish player just like Morris, but Morris could actually play.

Terrible at ude, thinks he's a superstar, doesn't work, resents having to work, he's a clown.

I don't want that guy around the young players with his bull poison. Nobody from the jazz had anything positive to say about the lyles experience, and I doubt anyone in Denver feels different

I don't know what number he's getting but I do think they'd be better off with just signing a summer league guy or holding out for a buying guy or getting someone from Europe. , they could have signed Milutinov, dumped eubanks and kept Moore instead

Is this true?
Not heard it. But then again I don't keep up on the latest Lyle's news

The Lyles of two years ago put up the same per-possessions stats as Morris did last season.



Lyles couldn't hit a shot last year but the potential is there for him to eventually be better than Morris. Though, obviously, the 2019-20 Spurs take a hit with this news.

Can this guy play D? (I fear I know the answer.)

But if this guy can be taught to play defense, this could be a Bruce Bowen type pick up (of course, mocked by most at the time, just like with Bowen).

Guys who are young, abandoned and undervalued are a Spurs specialty (Bowen, Jack, Danny).

People may end up marveling at how lucky the Spurs always are, dodging a bullet when Marcus Morris inexplicably made a move that opened everything up.

Bro, trust me. Metu will be a starter in this league. He'll shoot over 40% from 3 and be able to switch on to perimeter defenders. Watch

[Genovaswitness]

absolutely. walker is never going to make the rotation, bertans sucked and it’s not like we’ve drafted well lately

[Leetonidas]

How can you be so confident? Couldn't even get to see him play in summer league

[EricB]

Bro, trust me. Metu will be a starter in this league. He'll shoot over 40% from 3 and be able to switch on to perimeter defenders. Watch

He’s borderline to be on the roster right now so that’s pretty bold.

[Blackhaus]

Not reading back, we’re terms of his deal released?

Is that you, RC?

[slick'81]

Is that you, RC?

Is buford obese?

[Russ]

This is going to make the front office separate themselves even more from Players with questionable at udes. They took a chance and this is what happened, I don't see them taking another chance for a long time.

I see them taking a lot of Samanics for a long time.

[Ocotillo]

I am an optimist but what the are you basing that on?

[Seventyniner]

This just smells like Ayers 2.0. But PATFO saw fit to sign him so there has to be at least a small chance he turns into a decent player. Just sucks that there really aren't any good options left.

obviously he was all that was left and he has proven he can score a little 8.5 ppg last season.Its a low risk signing that spurs figured wth

[vander]

Get Lyles in the gym with Chip. Just need 3 and D production from him

This Chip myth needs to die. Who's shot has he fixed since TP?

[Marcus Bryant]

It's still more money, at least for next season, but otherwise, yep.

Kawhi

Is buford obese?

lol

[Ocotillo]

I hope for the best here and the development work is put in and Lyles turns into a serviceable player but then someone compares him to Ayers and I have flashbacks.

[Marcus Bryant]

Unless the Spurs signed Lyles to the full MLE, meh.

[timvp]

If guys like Kanter, Kaminsky and Thies only got two-year, $10 million, I can't imagine Lyles got more than that. It's gotta be somewhere between $6-9 million guaranteed, I'd think.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Sucks, but I’m through rooting for malcontents. You’re either with the Spurs game plan or off.

This is the way it should and will be.

We adapt, but don't blow where the wind blows. If you dont fit, you dont fit.

We must continue to maximize the output of the good guys.


I'm just worried about Murray, tbh.

[Joseph Kony]

this is the same team that gave Gasol 16 million a year, so i wouldnt be surprised if its more
