Pursuant to an official release from the team, the Lakers have waived backup center Thomas Bryant.
Bryant appeared in 15 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 1.5 points and 1.1 rebounds in 4.6 minutes per game.
Bryant’s $1.38MM contract wasn’t set to become guaranteed until July 5, but with the Lakers reportedly planning to guarantee the contract of center Ivica Zubac for next season and the addition of first-round pick Moritz Wagner, there was evidently no need to keep Bryant around any longer.
The Lakers don’t have any more non-guaranteed contracts left on which to make decisions, but they’ll likely still need to do something with the contract of Luol Deng if they want to land two marquee free agents this summer such as LeBron James and Paul George.
didn’t he look good in the summer league? another team has to give him a shot right?
Can’t believe they waived Kobe’s blood
Lebron didn’t want to play with a Bryant in LA
Should’ve kept him over Zubac
Memo to Tragic Johnson: LBJ, Chris Paul, Boogie….that is how you beat warriors. Don’t gut your roster…forget PG the choke artist….Pop ain’t giving you Leonard and he is a health risk for now. Watch him play this year…sign him next for nothing if healthy. Raise ticket prices to the Ball circus.
you sound like Queens sportstalk. just saying…
It’s magic btw no thanks to cp hurt and Achilles cousins!
Only if CP3 gets paid in hot dogs. Boogie won’t even play until after the ASG. LBJ, Leonard, Ingram, Randle, Ball. Mix in KCP & Lopez for cheap and that’s a spicy lineup.
funny dude!
The Lakers don’t need to do anything with Deng’s contract to bring in two max deals. The simply need to renounce their rights to, it trade, Julius Randle.
That $12mil plus their current available space is plenty to sign Lebron and whatever other one player they want.
Pretty sure they’re rather keep Randle and work out a trade
You would keep Bryant over Zubac, really? SMH
