Lakers adding Timberwolves’ Michael Beasley?

lets send them luke walton. it would be nice to see him off our bench. just saying.

they got PEKOVIC they don't need GASOL!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sessions. 6'3 PG with long arms that can get to the charity stripe.

Funny how after Kobe vents about the uncertainty of Gasol getting traded, another trade rumor arises...saying Gasol HAS NOT been mentioned in the trade.

I don't know who the Lakers will give up to nab Beasley..but if they can get him I'd do it ASAP...You put a scorer like Beasley with Kobe and learn work ethic..then the Lakers will be scary. T'Wolves have a log jam at the SF/PF spots so it's no secret somebody will have to go..whether it was Beasley, Webster, or Wes Johnson, somebody was on their way out this year...

Lakers should go ahead and get this deal done. They're already running out of time in terms of filling their main holes on the roster (SF being one of them). T-Wolves really want to move Beasley because they feel Derrick Williams is a better fit for them. Beasley at the very least would give the Lakers slightly above average production from the SF spot and he's still so very young that his prime years remain ahead of him. Lakers would also have a fairly sizeable and deeply talented frontcourt in him, Gasol, and Bynum. If the Lakers can also somehow swing a deal to get the much underrated Ramon Sessions out from under Dan Gilbert's thumb and make him their starting PG, they'll be back in business for this season and perhaps beyond that.

People don't realize that the Laker franchise haven't had a star point guard since Magic. They don't necessarily need a star point guard such as Dwill or Rajon but one that is younger and more athletic than Fish and Blake. But if you can get Dwill or Rajon then why not!

If the Lakers can get Beasley for a 1st rounder, it makes a ton of sense. They would get a young guy with potential for a pick that is at best a 50/50 crapshoot. They would be getting an average SF to replace the worst starting SF in the league. Then if they could get Sessions, they'd have upgraded the two positions which are the weakest in the league and replaced them with average players. They'd go from playing 3 on 5 to 5 on 5 and they'd be a serious threat for a championship again.

Are we forgetting that the Lakers have the exception cash they got in the deal for L.O. They have 9 mil to use as a bargaining tool, that I'm sure the Timberwolves would love to have in exchange for Beezer. I would love to see them swing a deal for Beasley and Ridnour. That would immediately fill their most pressing needs, and, negate the need to trade either Gasol or Bynum. Imagine a starting five of Ridnour, Kobe, Beasley, Gasol, and Bynum....Sounds good to me....

Hmm...Beasley starting with Barnes coming off the bench...I can see the Lakers being a real threat in the West again

depends for who or if just a draft pick or money..do it

Give them Walton ,World Peace and Fisher and a 1strd pick

Where Smush Parker?

And this helps our PG problem how?? Throw in Rubio then maybe

If the Lakers can trade for Beasley and Sessions and keep their core group of players then this team will be right back in the mix for a Championship. If they can't land Sessions then they need to just stick with Blake and Fisher cause adding Arenas would be a even worse move then them giving Odom away for nothing.

very..very very... simple,.....when my kids screwed up my company............i fired them......nuff said...

He's earning 6-7 million a year. This is probably a salary dump for Minnesota. They could get a first round draft pick. Lakers would have to trade or amnesty Artest.

If the Lakers manage to pick up Sessions and Beasley they'll be competing deep into the playoffs.

Giving up Gasol is dumb. Gasol and Bynum work great together. Without Gasol, Bynum may not be as effective.

The biggest problem on the Lakers is the point guard position. All they need is an energetic, physical point guard. Sessions is more than good enough as he plays right now..

Derek Fisher is not fast enough anymore. Steve Blake seems smaller that his listed weight and height. D-Fish should be coming off the bench. Steve Blake can't win the starting job from Fisher.

Starting lineup...
Bryant
Sessions
Bynum
Gasol
Beasley

looks good... solid.

Man I would love B-Eazy in the Lakers. He can start and give the Lakers much needed scoring or can come off the bench and play small foward or power foward. The Lakers do not need need to trade away Gasol if they add Sessions and Beasley they can win the WCF. And see what happens in the finals

The problem is would hit fit in and play defense and who are the Lakers going to give up for him? draft picks???

I've read reports that say we'd only have to give up a 2nd round pick and $!?!!! DO IT
