A lot has changed for Thomas Bryant and the Lakers both since he last roamed the halls in 2018. No player from that 2017-18 roster — including Luol Deng’s contract — is on the Lakers in 2022, but as much as things change, they remain the same.
For Bryant, that meant the same first-day feelings as he officially became a Laker again on Wednesday.
“I’m not going to lie, it is kind of weird walking back through these halls,” Bryant said. “It’s like super surreal. It’s like déjà vu doing this all over again from when I first got here.
