Another old Lakers player heads to Europe? The 7+4 center may join the Greek giants, leaving Los Angeles City and breaking the back road

Although the NBA has been trying hard to retain more good players in recent years, for many role players, even marginal water dispenser management, even if they stay in the NBA league, they can only get a basic salary contract. It is better to choose to go to overseas leagues to make gold, not to mention that the pressure there is not as great as the NBA.

Now another old Lakers player, who may go to the European League, is center Thomas Bryant. According to local media reports, Thomas Bryant may join the Greek giant Panasinakos, and the final details are not announced at present. If the signing is completed, Thomas Bryant's annual salary is expected to exceed US$3 million.

You must know that in just three days, Thomas Bryant will celebrate his 28th birthday, and he is indeed not too young. Speaking of Thomas Bryant's career experience, it is really sad. As a second-round pick, he was selected by the Lakers at the beginning, but the Purple and Gold Army was in trouble at that time and was extremely bad at cultivating rookies, so Thomas Bryant played 15 times for the Lakers and was cut by the team. Later, he completed the signing with the Wizards, and Thomas Bryant shone brightly and became a qualified starting center. At this time, he was seriously injured and the market plummeted. So after Thomas Bryant's contract expired, he returned to the Lakers again, but had to get a basic salary contract.

Obviously Thomas Bryant was unwilling to give up. He hoped that the Lakers would give him more opportunities, and that he did perform well at that time. But the coach did not meet Thomas Bryant's request. He forced the palace to leave in anger. The Lakers sent Thomas Bryant to the Nuggets, which was mixed for him. The good news is that Thomas Bryant won the championship with the Nuggets that year and won a ring. The Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, which made him feel angry. However, Thomas Bryant's main purpose is to seek more opportunities and seek long-term guarantee contracts. His role in the Nuggets is more marginalized, and this plan is completely ruined.

So in the past two seasons, Thomas Bryant played for the Heat and the Pacers respectively, but both were basic players. This season, he followed the Pacers out of the East and averaged 7 points and 4 rebounds per game, but the market is still not very good. Although there is something to do afterwards, Thomas Bryant had a quarrel with the Lakers, leaving Los Angeles was considered a breakdown. In the eyes of other team management, Thomas Bryant was suspected of being a thorny head and his strength was not that outstanding, which ultimately made it difficult for him to survive in the NBA.
