@stevekylerNBA Seem like 300,000 difference is not worth holding him out of summer league. Unless they are trading him?Putting too much thought into basic cap management.
Steve Kyler @stevekylerNBA
He will play in Vegas you're overreacting.
Not saying Lyles couldn't be traded. Don't think its likely. It's not the $300K to Lyles, it the $30K added to what they have -- can exceed the cap to finish Lyles.
Despite it being in Utah -- it has no barring on Lyles or his future, or summer work. JUst cap mechanics.
I would never let my first round player play summer league without a contract - that's bad agent work. Too much risk

Whether it's Jazz's fault or Lyles', the non-participation is more disconcerting than not being signed for now.

But I'm not sure Trey Lyles absence warrants pressing the freak-out-mode button, either.
