Lakers work out Michael Beasley

No news....is good news?

i mean the situations hes played in. hes played on a rebuilding team where he was given big minutes - he sucked. he was traded to a team with a veteran coach that wasnt quite rebuilding nor contending, and he sucked again. then he comes back to miami who is a contender and lo and behold he sucks again.

every fan base will always think the next stop with their team will have some sort of bigger/better impact than the last team said player was on. Mia is merely "considering" him back even at a min, that doesn't sound like a player who has much worth to a team who should also be adding as much talent as they can. He's arugably 10x the player Wes is but dude still got no contract offers.

Lakers Work Out Michael Beasley

The Lakers had been expressing interest in Beasley for several days, but nothing is imminent between the two parties. Beasley is also receiving interest from several other franchises and continues to weigh his options, according to sources.

Even though the former No. 2 overall pick’s career hasn’t gone exactly as planned, he’s still intriguing to executives. He’s only 25 years old and remains incredibly talented.

Teams were also impressed with Beasley’s stint with the Miami HEAT in the 2013-14 season, during which the forward played efficient basketball (shooting a career-best field goal percentage and finishing top 10 among small forwards in efficiency rating) and displayed maturity when asked to handle a reduced role on the contending team.

Thanks! My bad! I actually checked the other thread but only saw "interview" on that post......

I wish somebody could post a video of a brakedown his offensive game during his time in Minn, it was just mind boggling bad, selfish and inefficient.

It was. But he does have talent. He's just really raw. Kobe would be good for Beasley. He's not getting away with the stuff LeBron and Wade let him do last year. Could be a steal. He has a lot of talent and potential. He's just a really huge IDIOT/MORON!

It will be interesting to see if he can stand the pressure that Kobe will put on him. Beasley needs to start getting meaningful minutes or he's headed to the never ending string of one year minimum contracts. He will become an all time practice player.

I hope we sign him. LO played high and still helped us. Remember him just dribbling the ball in bounce. That was some serious ish he was smoking that night. Lakers need to take a chance on giving him a min contract. Maybe he will be as good as he was in Phoenix. Super tradable if he is not for the min.

A vet min for Beasley needs to be done, no lose situation. He just needs a solid chance with a solid mentor behind him, he's never had anybody like Kobe or Byron on his ass.
