Should I get Micheal Beasley or Brandon Bass?

I currently have Michael Beasley on my roster. Should I drop him and sign Brandon Bass? He is suppose to be healthy now and suppose to be getting 30+ minutes a game. I know Michael Beasley has been seeing reduced minutes for the Wolves.

This is a Yahoo Sports Fantasy Rotisserie League.

Current Team is:
Ricky Rubio
Ty Lawson
Monta Ellis
Jared Dudley
Pau Gasol
Beasley
Ibaka
JaVale McGee
Andre Miller
Jason Terry

Danilo Gallinari
Aaron Afflalo
Zach Randolph
Free Palestine

doesn't really matter imo. they're about equal

bass' game is stable, for better or for worse. passable defender, knock-down shooter, decent rebounder, athletic enough to get on the court but simply not elite in any phase of the game. the celtics are terrible tho and since bass is young and healthy it's not out of the realm of possibility he gets 30 mpg for a week, two week, one month, or even two month stretch. anything more is really pushing it, however.

tl;dr: 12 pts, 5 rebounds, good ft%

beasley is a scrub who has a modicum of upside if played as a small-ball four. if and until he's traded he's worthless. but since everyone in the world overrates ppg he has accumulated enough name value to farce his way into enough minutes to jack up enough shots to give you enough empty shots to lull you into starting him on your team.

tl;dr: if beasley goes to the lakers you'll want him. otherwise streaming is a better option than either bass or beasley

I'd wait until the trade deadline to see if Beasley gets traded. If he ends up on a team where he can get big minutes, he should put up good numbers.
