I wasn’t even thinking about the trade angle. It just seemed to me that Pop’s use of Davis indicated that he didn’t really envision Davis as much of a contributor going forward. I don’t think Pop ever regarded him highly enough to really find his niche and develop him in it. I think a shooter like Davis needed more continuity, and Pop would not commit regular rotation usage to him. Defensively he was a 3/4 tweener, and he never developed the consistent toughness to be good enough on the boards to gain regular minutes. In another system perhaps his shooting skill will overshadow his defensive/rebounding issues and he will get more regular use. Maybe he even gets more minutes at the 3. But none of that was going to happen under Pop, so I don’t mind gambling on a player like Lyles who might fit better. I wish Davis well, and I hope that Lyles outshines him.
