Marc Stein: Nine who secured these all-you-can-get deals, which pay out 90-plus percent of their 2019-20 salaries by April 1, are represented by Klutch Sports on contracts structured and negotiated by agent Rich Paul and attorney Mark Termini. The nine Klutch players are naturally led by LeBron James and include John Wall, Kentavious-Caldwell Pope, Dejounte Murray, Miles Bridges, Darius Bazley, Darius Garland, Terrance Ferguson and Trey Lyles. Next season it will be 10 when Draymond Green’s contract extension kicks in.
It has also contributed significantly to San Antonio’s ugly defensive numbers. That quintet has played 148 minutes together this season — more than twice as many minutes as any other Spurs lineup — and has been outscored by 8.9 points per 100 possessions. Of the 14 five-man units that have played at least 100 minutes this season, it is by far the worst — and one of only two that has been outscored by its opponents. “They’re playing Lyles? Come on,” said one scout who saw San Antonio recently. “Not in the West. Maybe you can play him and hope to get to ninth in the East or something.”
Tom Orsborn: Patty Mills on the preseason’s biggest surprise: “Really pleased with how Trey Lyles has been able to slide into the system so well so early. He’s a player who can learn on the fly, adjust on the fly and his type of game suits the system we’ve had for so long. Impressive.” #Spurs
Jeff McDonald: Basketball news! Pop says Trey Lyles, who has been dealing with a respiratory illness, is the only player not available in Miami. Also mentioned a desire to see a lot of Lonnie Walker IV tonight.
Paul Garcia: Trey Lyles will be OUT tonight against the Heat to rest, per the Spurs.
Jeff Siegel: A few more contract notes from deals made official: Trey Lyles 2/$11M contract is flat and guaranteed for just $1M in 20-21. Trigger date 6/30/20. Vincent Poirier’s two-year deal in Boston is not a minimum, but instead $4.65M over two years, using cap space.
Jabari Young: On the Trey Lyles front, hearing it’s a 2-year deal with no options in Year 2 which is partially guaranteed. #Spurs #NBA @The Athletic
Trey Lyles heading to San Antonio
Adrian Wojnarowski: Spurs have pulled offer to Marcus Morris and agreed to a deal with free agent Trey Lyles, league sources tell ESPN.
Shams Charania: Sources: Free agent Trey Lyles is signing a two-year deal with the Spurs. San Antonio loses Marcus Morris after his week of talks with the Knicks, and signs another top free agent on the market.
On Monday afternoon, Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown worked out in California with trainer Chris Johnson. Videos posted to his Instagram story show Brown training with Rodney Hood and Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell. Johnson also trained Trey Lyles and Andrew Wiggins on Monday.
Harrison Wind: Trey Lyles’ annual free skills academy took place this past weekend in Indiana. Nuggets players and so many others around the league continue to pay it forward. pic.twitter.com/9wcSVhUM3h
Harrison Wind: Nuggets listing Torrey Craig (shoulder sprain) as questionable for tomorrow’s matchup vs. the Pacers. Michael Porter Jr. (back) remains out. Trey Lyles is off the injury report.
Nick Kosmider: Trey Lyles is listed for out against Dallas with a hamstring strain. I’m told this could be a two-week absence.
Nick Kosmider: Nuggets coach Michael Malone said the team was finally healthy for the first all season in their first practice after the All-Star break … for about 50 minutes. Then Trey Lyles hobbled off the court. No word yet on his status for Friday vs. Dallas.
Harrison Wind: Gary Harris (hamstring) will miss his fifth-straight game for the Nuggets tonight. Trey Lyles (wrist) is available to play.
Nick Kosmider: Gary Harris (hamstring) and Trey Lyles (wrist) both listed as questionable for tomorrow night’s game against the Warriors.
Duvalier Johnson: Good and bad news. Will Barton is in tonight after missing since the second game of the season. Gary Harris and Trey Lyles however are out against the Suns. #Nuggets
Harrison Wind: Nuggets are starting Trey Lyles at power forward tonight in place of Paul Millsap. Murray, Craig, Hernangomez and Jokic also starting vs Atlanta.
Plumlee had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and wowed the home crowd with his Jokic-like, no-look pass to Trey Lyles in the Nuggets’ 112-87 victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday night. Plumlee had four assists, the most impressive coming when he flipped a pass over his right shoulder to a cutting Lyles for a layup. “I know Mason, he was looking, so I figured I’d cut and he did his own thing from there,” said Lyles, who scored a season-high 22 points. “Mason’s one of our best passers as a big. He looks for me all the time so I’m grateful.”
Now factor in the return of a healthy Paul Millsap and that dynamic wing core of Jamal Murray and Gary Harris, and it seems all but certain that all this optimism will prove to be well-founded. But how good can they be? Title contenders, according to Malone, in the not-so-distant future. “Teams do it in different ways,” he continues. “And what I like about us is I never mortgaged our future for instant success. We didn’t trade a core young piece for instant gratification, for a season where maybe it would’ve helped us. But big picture, long-term, was not going to allow us to have sustained success. And by keeping Jamal, Nikola, Gary, Trey (Lyles), our young core, re-signing Will, we feel that we have a chance to be competitive and ultimately a championship contender at some point. I give our ownership credit. And I’m not just blowing smoke, because we haven’t made the playoffs in five years, and we all want to make the playoffs, but we know that the importance of ‘Let’s look long term. Let’s not be a checkers player. Let’s be a chess player and look two, three steps ahead of everybody.’”
Scott Agness: Lance Stephenson carries Andre Owens’ team to the @FACTORYD1INDY Pro Am title, 75-68, over Teague/Teague/Lyles. Lance scored 32pts and was named MVP — his final act before moving to L.A. for the season.
With the Nuggets, Karnisovas has helped construct a roster of players who combine a specific physical profile, versatile skill set and intangibles such as drive and selflessness. He continues to relish the bonds he’s built in a job he estimates is 80 percent human interaction. And, naturally, Denver’s current group is filled with international flavor. Point guard Jamal Murray and reserve forward Trey Lyles were born in Canada. Two-way wing Torrey Craig was discovered playing professionally in Australia. And the Serbian Nikola Jokic has blossomed from a relatively unknown second-round pick into one of the most versatile big men in the game. “Arturas was the one who was wanting it more for me to come here, so it’s kind of cool,” Jokic said. “He’s European, and he knows how European basketball (works). He played with some Serbian players. He knows our mentality. Of course he can help me a lot, just adapting to the basketball (in the NBA).”
TJ McBride: Jamal Murray will take part in training camp with the Canadian National Team this offseason for FIBA qualifiers. Trey Lyles is not. twitter.com/canbball/statu…
The belief is that Stauskas, also unavailable this summer, was unhappy with his usage at the FIBA Americas tournament in 2015 as well. […] They’ll miss Wiggins, to be sure, but they’re confident they have enough talent to compete without him. Most importantly, they’ve found a group of guys that recognize and appreciate the value in representing their country, that want to be there. They’ve left the door open for Wiggins, Stauskas and , who has never played for the senior team, but they’re not going to beg and nor should they.

Richard Jefferson turned the conversation toward the Beehive State. “So,” Jefferson said, “you got drafted by Utah? Then you …” “Unfortunately,” said Lyles, interrupting him. “Let’s talk about why you didn’t want to go to Utah,” Jefferson said after the 12th pick of the 2015 draft mentioned that he would’ve preferred to be drafted by Denver. “I don’t know,” Lyles said. “I just didn’t like it.”
Jefferson: “I liked playing in Utah. I really did.” Lyles: “Who was your coach then?” Jefferson: “I had Tyrone Corbin.” Lyles, grumbling: “So y’all didn’t practice? Y’all didn’t do nothing, yeah. See, we had practice every day (under Quin Snyder). I thought I was in Kentucky again.” Jefferson, sarcastically: “You had practice every day? Oh, sorry for making you work hard. Sorry. What’s wrong with working hard, Trey?” Lyles: “I didn’t say nothing about working hard. Three-hour practices? C’mon now.”
Lyles refused to say anything nice about Utah. “It’s very similar to Denver,” Jefferson said. “It’s not similar to Denver,” Lyles rebutted. “If you’d shut up and let me talk,” Jefferson countered, jokingly. “You don’t have to say (bleep) and be all rude,” Lyles responded. “It’s sunny all the time in Utah,” Jefferson said. Lyles: “Hmmmm.” “The fans are really, really good.” “Hmmmm.”
Gina Mizell: Michael Malone on why Trey Lyles did not play in Cleveland Saturday: “When Jeff Green was ruled out, that was kind of Trey’s matchup. They played so much small ball. I just felt it was just not a great matchup for Trey for us. He will be back playing tomorrow night.” #Nuggets
Gina Mizell: Trey Lyles on his minutes decrease w/Millsap’s return: “It’s definitely frustrating. But (while) playing behind an all-star power forward, you gotta take what you can get. Now that he’s back, I realize that. I’m not happy with it, but I’m gonna do the best that I can.” #Nuggets
When the presentation ended, Lyles turned to head strength & conditioning coach Felipe Eichenberger, and for the first time described his insomnia. “I’m a thinker, so my mind is always running,” Lyles explains. “After games, my body can’t settle down, so I just lie there with my thoughts. Then I start looking at the clock: ‘It’s 4, and I’ve got practice at 9. I’m going to be tired.’” He craved something stronger than melatonin supplements but healthier than ZzzQuil pills, which left him groggy in the morning. Eichenberger introduced Lyles to a new sleep drink, not yet on the market but certified by the National Science Foundation for Sport, called Som. Created by a start-up in Santa Monica, Calif., and advertised as “drug-free, dairy-free, gluten-free,” Som was not designed for NBA players. But now that the product has been released to the public, they might end up being the most loyal customers.
