I believe he's still signed with the team, isn't he?
If he isn't, that's weird that they would include him in showcasing the new jerseys...
Curious what they do with Lyles. He isn’t amazing but if he continues to make 3s, then I think he is useful at a low price.

I believe it was a partial guarantee.
Hopefully Lyles has hit the gym and worked on his 3 ball he is not a bad player but he has that Fat Head issue of being wide open and passing the ball instead of taking the open shot. I think he is a very good backup but not a starter on a good team at this point in his career.
Would LA accept a bench role - a 6th man, high usage position?
Spurs have always loved to run their 2 team variations, contrasting styles (starters vs. bench) and wonder if the roles are somewhat flipped when compared to 2013 - 2014 Spurs.
The starters, presumably:
D.White
Dejounte
DDR
Lyles
Poeltl (or FA replacement big such as Myers Leonard, Aron Baynes)
become the Freewheeling bench mob, pace ‘n space bubble team with DDR/Dejounte/White handling various playmaking duties depending on the set run...
Then the 2nd unit becomes
White/Tre (if ready)
Lonnie/Q/Vassell (if ready)
Keldon/Lonnie
Gay/Keldon
Lamarcus
which relies on LA sets with p’nr/p’np, Inside/Out plays.
Season could be very similar at times to 2012 where come trade deadline,
decisions are made to maximise roster potential moving forward.
Sounds weird but I’d throw a minimum offer at Thon Maker, I know he hasn’t lived up to the hype pre draft but he has some intriguing skills. At worst he’d be an upgrade on Drew and Metu, at best he gets his jumper consistent and we have a 7’1 floor spacing shot blocker who can run the floor coming off the bench.
After white showing in the bubble I don’t seeing him have a bench role
I founds someone else that agrees with me on this. I think we might be the only 2 though. That being said I actually like Metu.
He just became an UFA today. Letssss go!
Agreed, I meant - say White comes out of the game at 6 min mark, then comes back in around 1-2 min mark of the quarter to run 2nd unit...
I’d be ok with that I’d be extremely happy if keldon starts and Lonnie and Vassell have bench roles
As a 2k character he’s always amazing
The defensive possibilities with DJ, DV, KJ, DW, Poetl, and Jones are intriguing and exciting.
Once there is some cohesion among the players, we can have some solid offensive/defensive lineups.
Much better than last season.
