Players who left the Lakers
After losing to the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers missed out on seventh place in the West and fell from ninth in the West to eleventh in the West. However, James has taken off his protective boots and is getting closer and closer to his return to the court. As long as James returns, and with his current roster, this team will become the favorites to win the championship in one fell swoop. The Lakers are already strong, and the operation before the trade deadline has become a turning point for this team, and it is a pity that only one of the players who left the Lakers is a pity.
Wei Shao went to the Clippers and did experience a slump, the team suffered a five-game losing streak, but Tyronn Lue insisted on starting him, and now the team has also ushered in a three-game winning streak. Beverley also occupied a starting spot after going to the Bulls, once again giving the team hope for the playoffs. As for Thomas Bryant, it is difficult to say.
The data varies dramatically
Wilson and Beverley were both traded by the team, while Thomas Bryant volunteered to be traded. The reason is simple, after Davis' return, Thomas Bryant's playing time has been severely reduced, from starting to the team to a substitute, and his personal data has also declined. During the period when Davis was injured and absent, the 20+10 data was simply commonplace for Tob, but after Davis' return, he occupied most of the No. 5 position, and in this case, Toub chose to apply for a trade.
The Lakers sent it to the Nuggets, making him a backup for Jokic, the league's No. 1 center. After coming to the Nuggets, Thomas Bryant played in eight games, scoring only one double-double, against the Bulls, playing 13 minutes, scoring 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting, and no other stats. So, in this game against the Nets, Malone directly abandoned Thomas Bryant. The reason was simple, the team wanted to win, so Jokic played 39 minutes on the field, and Tob naturally did not have playing time.
After coming to the Nuggets, Thomas Bryant averaged 12.1 minutes of playing time and scored 4.9 points and 3.8 rebounds, which was not satisfactory. You know, before that, Toub played 41 games for the Lakers, averaging 21.4 minutes per game and scoring 12.1 points and 6.8 rebounds. It can be said that Thomas Bryant during the Lakers and Nuggets period has very different statistics.
Tens of millions of annual salaries are lost
Thomas Bryant was just a second-round pick and was drafted by the Lakers. He played just 15 games in his rookie season, averaging just 1.5 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. The Lakers had a lot of talented players at the time, so Thomas Bryant was cut by the team. However, Thomas Bryant's career did not end there, and he played extraordinary individual performances with the Wizards, and the team also gave him a three-year, $25 million contract. Just when people felt that Bryant was going to get his ground, injuries struck.
Torn anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee, season reimbursement, for an inside player, this is an absolute fatal blow. So, last offseason, the Lakers signed Thomas Bryant to a one-year contract with a year-end salary. For Tob, he came to the Lakers to help the Lakers win, not for the championship trophy, but so that he could return to the top and get a big contract. During Davis' absence, Thomas Bryant has really proven himself and made people feel like he has a chance to earn tens of millions of dollars a year.
But now, the contract with an annual salary of tens of millions has completely failed. The Nuggets won't give Thomas Bryant too many chances, and Jokic's fitness is there, so Tobb is destined to continue on a base-salary contract next offseason.
