Free agent forward Michael Beasley has agreed to a deal with the Lakers, league source tells ESPN.

[H20Knick]

Excelllllent! Good luck to Beasley in LA.

[big_j_NY]

He'll fit in fine with Lonzo, Rondo, and Bron setting up open shots for him........perfect destination.

[gradyandrew]

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Hopefully Beas will always remember that game. Nothing but love for the Beas.

[big_j_NY]

Only question is......how is gonna fit on a roster that also have Ingram and Kuzma too?

Wouldn't Ingram & Kuzma have first dibs on most of the rotation minutes at both forward spots? Granted one of Kuzma or Ingram will be starting with Bron, but one of Kuzma or Ingram will also be playing extended minutes in the 2nd unit TOO.

Beasley's going to Bron's new JR rehab case

[maxinquaye11]

Bron and Beas cruisin in LA riding a top down going around town. Lebron officially on vacation for at least one LA season.

I could be wrong here but I'd expect them to go with...

Ball - Rondo
KCP - Hart
Ingram - Stephenson
LeBron- Beasley
Javale - Kuzma

Beasley should fit in well with that second unit. I guess they might use Zubac as their second unit center rather than Kuzma as a stretch five, but this potential second unit gets Hart in on the act and he looks like a promising shooter and scorer.

[thewatcher]

Yeah max, and Lance and Rondo are going to be in the back seat!! Rondo, Lance and Beas (and Javale) all on Bron's team on Magic's LA Lakers?? WTF!!! I can't help it I have to be a Laker's fan in the WEST this year!!! The team will be CRAZY on and off the court!! maybe the craziest locker room in NBA history...can't wait . Fck the Warriors!

[NewlyKnicked]

Haha you’re right, Beaz was made to play in this crazy team

[taowave]

Without a doubt,the Lakers have just assembled the world's greatest Meme team ever..

I have a new second favorite team

[Don Che]

Beasley....Rondo.....Lance

wtf is magic doing

[nazrmohamed]

Well you gotta believe LeBron was consulted on these deals and feels good about it. Doesn't make the most sense to me but if LeBron thinks he can win then he thinks he can win. One thing to consider is that LeBron likes a team where others can make things happen and did say he wants to play more off the ball going into his twilight years but idk..Doesn't look promising.

[NewlyKnicked]

Beasley....Rondo.....Lance

wtf is magic doing

Don’t forget Javale... I kind of regret nick young left now

[nazrmohamed]

If we got him younger I would've loved to keep him. You know what Beasley is at this point and know positives and negatives. We got him on a very good deal that he definitely outperformed. So although we didn't get him back I wish him the best.

Think, the Bulls just paid something like 10mil/yr for the same player skillset

[NewlyKnicked]

The bulls ? Are you ref Parker ? He’s at 20mil I believe

[nazrmohamed]

20mil per? Jesus Christ. What are the Bulls thinking. That's a starters salary for a guy who should be firmly behind Markannen and WCJ. I don't understand that signing.

In actuality, they did put a team option for the 2nd year.........so if Parker breaks a knee again, they can let him go next summer with no financial repercussions long-term.

That being said, yeah.......the Bulls are pretty gutsy for putting all that money hoping the "hometown kid" can make a NBA comeback for them.

[NewlyKnicked]

They want to play him at SF (where he's shown limitations with the Bucks). Have you read his comments on defense not being what he's paid for? That' hilarious when you know he's joining Lavine and Markannen. The Bulls are not goign to be good next year...

At least Beasley wasn't actually saying in the media that he didn't care about defense (no words, only acts). He's older but his knees are better so far, and he's much funnier ==> Beasley >>> Parker
