The Timberwolves are serious about a potential trade of Michael Beasley to the Los Angeles Lakers for a first-round draft pick.

A little birdie says the Philadelphia 76ers aren't interested in trading shooting guard Andre Iguodala to the Wolves, who need a shooting guard who can make shots.

we should jump in and try to get beas

Supercoolbeas would be an interesting fit on the Lakers. Hmm Cali is the mecca of bud and Mike Treez has been known to smoke once or twice before. Temptations...?

that'll be a good deal for the the Lakers. The reward could potentially be higher than the risk. If he comes in a does well, he'd be a pretty good replacement for odom and could give the Lakers another scoring option. If he sucks.. then they can just let him go at the end of the season since he' in the last year of his contract.

as for the Bulls.. I don't know where he'd fit. Beasley is a SF/PF and he won't get any minutes at PF here because of Boozer and Gibson and won't get many minutes at SF because Deng plays like 40 MPG

And at SF, Jimmy Butler has proven to be worthy of some minuets, especially how he played defense so far, and shined against the Knicks, and did very well against Carmelo Anthony.

As much as I would like more scoring on this team, he doesn't fit or have the right attitude. He doesn't play much defense either so that's already a mark against him playing much for Thibs. That said, a first rounder for someone of his talent is a risk I'd be ok with personally.

Bulls already had the chance to take him and they decided not to do it.

Best decision in Bulls history EVER! (besides being founded! :D )

Actually trading draft picks with Seattle in 1987 was the best decision they ever made in my opinion. :dealwithit:

I don't really want Beasley on my team but trading a Laker first round pick for him is literally zero risk and a lot of reward. Why do the Lakers always get favorable trades?

Beasley, Randolph and Minnesota's first-rounder in '12 for Korver, Watson and Asik? Sure, why not. Makes sense to a certain extent. Move Brewer into the starting lineup, have Rip come off the bench at the 2 then have Beasley come off the bench at the 3 and Randolph can finally get minutes at the 4 and five. James/Hamilton/Beasley/Gibson/Randolph as our bench? That wouldn't bother me. Besides, Beasley and Randolph are both expiring contracts. Shed nearly 9 million if they both tank and prove to not be worth it and pick up a first-rounder? That'll definitely help when Rose's extension kicks in.

The dudes not a bust... He's just not the ideal player you use a #2 pick on. He's an inefficient scorer, a streaky shooter and he plays virtually no defense. On top of being a tweener forward. Adam Morrison is a bust, Michael Beasley is just stupid. He's still young enough to realize his talent and fix his game, but he's pretty strong willed, it's going to take something serious to make him wake up.
