Michael Scotto: The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to hope LeBron James will choose them in free agency, sources say. They'll keep a spot open. They view Trey Lyles as a floor-spacing big who shot 43% on 3-pointers for Real Madrid. Octagon's Alex Saratsis did Lyles' deal
Michael Scotto: Sources: The Minnesota Timberwolves and Trey Lyles have agreed to a 1-year deal. Lyles returns to the NBA after playing for Real Madrid. He’s averaged 7.6 points and 4.3 rebounds with the Jazz, Nuggets, Spurs, Pistons and Kings.
Real Madrid forward Trey Lyles has confirmed that he's leaving the Spanish powerhouse. "Madrid has been great, but it's time," Lyles said in his Instagram post. "Great experience here. Appreciate you all. I love all the Madridistas."
At Real Madrid, they've already written off Trey Lyles. The 6'9" (2.06 m), 30-year-old power forward signed a one-year contract last summer, and it's highly unlikely the club will be able to renew it, as they had long hoped. Now, with the season abruptly ended and knowing he can't compete with other, much more lucrative offers or fulfill his desire to return to the NBA , they're already looking for a replacement.

Furthermore, it's likely that Real Madrid wouldn't be able to renew Lyles' contract even with a substantial offer. The player's main objective is to return to the NBA , where he already played 650 games over 10 seasons with the Jazz, Nuggets, Spurs, Pistons, and Kings . He recently changed representation agencies, specifically seeking a new chapter in the American league.
Confirming recent reports about a deal with Real Madrid, Trey Lyles officially completed his move to the EuroLeague powerhouse on Wednesday. Moving his talents to Europe’s premier club continental competition, the 29-year-old Canadian forward/center penned a one-year contract with Los Blancos.

The Heat opted to sign Dru Smith instead of a backup center such as Kai Jones, who auditioned for Miami last week, or veteran center Trey Lyles, who also has been linked to the Heat. Miami isn’t expected to add a backup center in free agency anytime soon, though it’s conceivable that could be addressed with another trade.

A couple of other names to consider with the taxpayer midlevel exception are Spencer Dinwiddie, Trey Lyles and Al Horford. As for minimum players, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Knicks brought back Delon Wright and/or Landry Shamet.

James Ham: Domantas Sabonis has been downgraded to OUT for tonight’s game in SF. Trey Lyles was added to the injury list and is questionable with left leg soreness. Jake LaRavia was upgraded to available.
