10 yr vet minimum is about 3.5 million. That seems fair for Lyles (drafted 2015)Lyles would be okay for the bench if we re-signed him at a discount. I'm not bringing him back at the same $8/mil per year.

I might be willing to go up to 5 million for VERY important reason. Lyles arguably only current player on the Kings proven enforcer. Every NBA team needs at least ONE tough hombre who won't back down when needed. Especially true with Kings "soft" reputation.10 yr vet minimum is about 3.5 million.

He apparently wanted to be an astrophysicist until basketball wound up becoming a viable path forward for himThe kid is mega-smart with a double science and math major at Stanford. It's bound to assist in his development. I'm very excited to see how he progresses with professional coaching.
Okay well that cements him having a roster spot. Pretty bold move for a 2nd rounder. On the other hand we don’t have much else.
Must be nice to be that smart and talented.He apparently wanted to be an astrophysicist until basketball wound up becoming a viable path forward for him

And on top of all of that he’s French.And he fits the 6 foot requirement for all the ladies out there.
Outside of this one lone episode where Trey flipped out, I wouldn’t really think of him as an “enforcer”. I mean in general he’s a book loving nice guy.I might be willing to go up to 5 million for VERY important reason. Lyles arguably only current player on the Kings proven enforcer.

Lyles is definetly better than the othersI really don't want to play Eubanks/Lyles over Jones/Maxime. I don't think those players are better, I thought Jones earned every minute last year and more. If we don't add any real names, I really hope those 2 are getting burn day 1.
The bench is soo much more exciting than the starting lineup to me.
Carter/Monk - Keon - Nique - Jones - Maxime
I really want to see that group of 5 just give energy and hustle.
At that pick range anyone that is a plus on the field for only 5 minutes is a steal.What if he is a better scoring Mo Wagner
I think I heard something about the Stanford Coaches were telling Maxime to avoid blocking shots. He was too important for his scoring to sit with foul trouble. Bot towards the end of the season they unleashed him and his BPG went way up.I thinknhe has a very Markannen style to his game. Could be an ideal pairing next to sabonis as he can actually jump and is long enough to be a reasonable off side shot blocker (though not known for defensive chops). Give him 2 years and i think he could be special offensive.
See post #58 in this very thread.I think I heard something about the Stanford Coaches were telling Maxime to avoid blocking shots. He was too important for his scoring to sit with foul trouble. Bot towards the end of the season they unleashed him and his BPG went way up.
Has anyone else heard this and can you provide stats?
