Thomas Bryant being shipped to the Nuggets means Los Angeles has bigger plans, Beverley is next

In a move that shocked Lakers fans, after they were content with how the roster was looking with the 3-team trade between Los Angeles, Utah, and Minnesota, GM Rob Pelinka traded Thomas Bryant, the C that has been one of the best surprises for the team.

Now Bryant has been traded to the Nuggets while the Lakers received the SG Davon Reed and three second-round picks, according to information by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

More Lakers news:

There are rumors that GM Rob Pelinka is cooking something grander and that he isn't done making trades, as it doesn't make sense to release Bryant and keep a player like Beverley, which has yet to improve the team as the C did.

But now, with Davon Reed, the three second-round picks, and Beverley Pelinka, could be preparing that package to get a significant move that can significantly surprise the Lakers Nation.

Thomas Bryant could've asked for his trade

In another twist around Thomas Bryant's trade, a new rumor has surfaced that says that the C himself requested his trade. Of course, this could be because he needed to have more playing time. Still, Pelinka seems to be cooking a new move before the trade deadline happens tonight.
