Just dropped 31 and was 14 of 14 from the field I said it when we let him go wrong move smh.
Crazy. Why draft him 2nd rd, stash him in the G-league, then let him go.
Here are the highlights. 14 layups. He has a knack for getting open and being in the right place for offensive boards. Plays like Capella w/o the athleticism.
Those are great numbers but he played out of control most of the time..
Congrats to him, he deserves a place in the NBA... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”
Thomas Bryant has now met the starter criteria in his contract. The Washington center has now started 41 games this season and is eligible to receive a $3M Qualifying Offer in the offseason. The cap hold for Bryant will be adjusted to reflect the Qualifying Offer.

I wasn’t that impressed when he was here but in retrospect I should have been. I’m sure he was replaced by someone of a Stephenson/Rondo caliber. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

My pet peeve in NBA basketball decision making is letting go of young talent for that veteran guy that provides "intangibles." We basically did that with Thomas and Zubac, and nothing to show for them.

The Lakers 2017-2018 center rotation was Lopez/Randle/Zubac/Bryant. _________________ Under New Management

What the Lakers have to show for them both is: SALARY CAP SPACE!
Which is what they used to sign everyone, except Kuz, LeBron and AD!

You're missing the point, the Lakers are not interested in fielding a team of mistake-ridden rookies, they are going with Vets. (who are not as mistake-ridden), but may not be up to your hypothetical wish list...

Wagner and Bryant cost less "salary cap space" than Rondo and KCP too _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

And they have continually failed since the vets they chose have been mistake ridden. Let’s see a small amount of success before declaring that they know what they are doing. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Imagine sticking up for KCP and Rondo as less mistake-ridden. _________________ Under New Management

For those feeling bad about Lou Williams. He was flipped for Josh Hart and Thomas Bryant. How do ya like dem apples? If we still had TB, I think you can feel a little better not having Lou.
Can someone remind me why it was necessary to let TB go last year? Julius was renounced quickly, cuz they couldn't wait to give that money to Rondo.
Guys like Brook Lopez and Thomas Bryant weren't brought back cause they couldn't wait to fill the roster with rag tags like Lance Romance and Space Cadet Beaseley. Zubac for Muscala. It's a comedy of hits.
Unleash Hell, there is no spinning this. You could arrive at the same AD trade without some of these moves.
