I was us to bring in Beasley. I love the roster as is but it couldn't hurt to have him on the team too.

The starting unit has to be tuned defensively, or as Riley would have put it back in Byron's day - "focused."
I think if Nash is healthy, you try to let that second unit run a little bit and try to either outscore the other team's second unit to try and have the Lakers stay in games. Hopefully, they are hot on some nights and can either extend leads or bite into them.
It's hard to see Nash and Swaggy P. locking other players up on D, so we have to play to their strengths. Boozer may be a defensive challenge for the first unit.
