Thomas Bryant is reportedly ‘in no rush’ to choose between the Lakers.

Free-agent Thomas Bryant is reportedly putting the Lakers on hold as he waits to decide on which team he plans to sign within NBA free agency this summer.

According to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers offered Bryant a veteran’s minimum deal, but the 24-year-old is also considering the Toronto Raptors, who have also shown interest in signing him.

Earlier in the day, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports also linked Bryant to the Celtics.

Bryant began his career with purple and gold and is one of the few prominent men in the free agency market.

He’s coming off a season averaging 7.4 points and four rebounds a game, along with 52% shooting from the field for the Washington Wizards.

The main concern with Bryant is his injury history, as he recently just recovered from an ACL tear that he suffered two seasons ago.

However, putting possible injury issues aside, Bryant would be an ideal fit for this current Lakers roster, which badly needs a stretch five and more height and depth in the center position.

The 42nd overall pick in the 2017 Draft has proven he can hit jumpers from outside the paint, score efficiently inside, and be helpful on the defensive end.

With two more spots left to fill in their roster, it’s no surprise that the Lakers can only offer Bryant a veteran’s minimum deal.

So, it’s hard to blame the center for taking his time to get back to the Lakers.

Both Los Angeles and Toronto would likely make great use of Bryant’s service, so wherever he goes, he has the opportunity to rehabilitate his value and, if he plays well, potentially cash in next summer.

But the most appealing part about the Lakers’ offer is the opportunity to compete for a championship.

Suppose everything falls in the right place for Los Angeles, of course.

If Bryant does sign with the Lakers, it’ll be the first time he finds himself playing in what is expected to be a championship contender.

We’ll see over the next few hours and days if that’s enough to sway him.
