Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBAReally would have liked to see the Lakers hold on to Thomas Bryant. Quality player who didn’t need the ball. 12 ppg on 65% FG, 44% 3FG. You keep a guy like that. – 3:58 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBAI still think we have not seen the best version of this Nuggets team and Thomas Bryant should help. I am excited to see how the final 1/3 of the season goes. – 2:39 PM
Evan Sidery @esideryThe Lakers’ substantial roster movement leading up to the trade deadline:In: D’Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Rui Hachimura, Mo Bamba, Davon ReedOut: Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley, Thomas Bryant, Kendrick Nunn, 2027 1st (top-4 protected) – 2:28 PM
TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBAThomas Bryant helps, but so many teams in the West took chances to improve this season. Denver is doubling down on their roster as currently constructed it seems. – 2:27 PM
Mark Deeks @MarkDeeksNBAPLAYER VALUES, RANKED:Mike Muscala – two second-round picksBones Hyland – two second-round picksThomas Bryant – three second-round picksJames Wiseman – five second-round picksJae Crowder – five second-round picksO.G. Anunoby – I dunno, about fifty of them? – 2:08 PM
Vinny Benedetto @VBenedettoCombining the two trades:Denver gets: Thomas Bryant, two second-round picksDenver sends out: Bones Hyland, Davon Reed, three second-round picks. – 2:05 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggsMe: I would get Bones a PnR Big who can roll or pop to give Hyland the bench stability for creating offense inside the 3-point line that he had with Boogie.Nuggets: *trade for Thomas Bryant on an expiring*Me: …SO IS DENVER KEEPING BONES THEN?? – 12:45 PM
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedcThomas Bryant is a good pickup for the Nuggets. Quality backup for the Joker who can help keep the floor spaced and block a shot every once in a while. Lakers get back the seconds they gave Washington for Rui Hachimura. – 12:41 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannixThomas Bryant had a really good December/January for the Lakers. Produced, played with energy, really helped when AD was out. Jared Vanderbilt can certainly step into that role but he’s a player LA might miss. – 12:41 PM
Adam Mares @Adam_MaresMy initial thoughts are that Thomas Bryant is a good backup C and the price tag was basically nothing.Complicates the Zeke-Vlatko-Jeff minutes. It’s also possible that the Nuggets just stagger a different starter than Murray now. Either way, bench will look different. – 12:39 PM
Michael Singer @msingerThomas Bryant’s only 25 years old. He can be a free agent this summer. Salary is $2.1 million this year. But he’s a piece that can absolutely bolster Denver’s second unit frontcourt. – 12:20 PM
Jake Fischer @JakeLFischerLakers had a lot of incoming calls about Thomas Bryant on Wednesday after Russell Westbrook three-teamer brought back Jarred Vanderbilt. To get three second-round picks for a minimum FA signing in Bryant from DEN, Lakers now have five seconds to play with for further upgrades. – 12:17 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWindThe biggest hole on the Nuggets’ roster was backup center, and Thomas Bryant is a backup 5 that can start for a lot of teams. He’s the athletic and mobile, 7-foot rim presence that the Nuggets want behind Nikola Jokic. – 12:16 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburnThomas Bryant’s per game numbers for the Lakers this year:21.4 minutes12.1 points6.8 rebounds0.7 assists0.6 blocks65.4 FG%44.0 3P%74.1 FT%Leading the NBA in True Shooting Percentage at 71.2%.GREAT ADDITION. – 12:14 PM
