Yea I get what you're saying, but he is still not a pure Center. We don't need him we already doing great on the defense side, 6th overall in points allowed.

Hell no! what are u talkin about. Bynum is going to be way better then Howard, hell he almost already is.

stupid *** lakers!!! Get rid of buss or whomever making these stupid ass decisions. We're trying to get younger not older!

Ain't J Cole in this too?

now they want to fight them

Even with the big 3 its still not enough, we just cant play 3 vs 5. This OKC is what you call a team.

Yea it's like we can't have at least one of our big three out on the bench without the offense crumbling.

This just always happens. <_<

ron....three

they're doing that now

Yea I get what you're saying but only reason why they had him start or play a lot of mins with Heat, because he was a really good scorer, and at the time him and d wade was the only scorers on the team really. Didn't try to get get him better or may be that was because of his attitude. Only played one year with the Heat I think. Plus he then got traded for two second-round draft picks. Twolves doesn't want to play and and work with him may be because of his attitude I don't know seem like he doesn't really have a problem or a attitude now. But I do think he is a little selfish, which is great because Kobe was/still is the same way and just shows that he wants to win. They're trying to get rid of him But, all I'm saying his put him on the right team and develop him and tell him what he is doing wrong or needs to get better at and he'll mold into a great player and I think Lakers can do that. I agree with a lot of stuff you're saying though he does have flaws but he can improve on them, he still young and needs to fit in on a team and stay their for a while so he can improve. Pretty sure Kobe can help this kid out just like he did with Odom, Pau. Because Odom is kind of similar to Michale Beasley but Odom is a lot more athletic and can handle the ball better and all around player too, but both has the versatility to play both 3 and 4 off the bench. Both was a poor decision maker, chucks up shots (Beasley takes the cake on this though lol) And both wasn't a great Defender (odom was better though), Beasley size/athleticism/scoring is something we can use for sure. He can guard 6-5 through 6-11, which is something Odom contributed to very well. Our interior defense is good enough to whereas we don't need something outstandingly quick at the 3, yet a body to guard the perimeter for the dual scoring threats like Durant. All I'm saying is I see a lot of potential and with the right players like Kobe and D Fish around him, They can turn this dude around. He can develop to a better passer which he has shown this year. Just like Bynum is turning into a better passer so can he and be a better team player and decision maker, better three point shooter. Plus has gotten thinner over the off season and he is much faster and quicker.

Well he still young so he can improve his decision making hell look at odom he was a poor decision maker. And I didn't say he was nothing like Lin just said that he need to be on the right team and be giving a chance. And yes they do need another scorer that can create their own shot. Kobe damn sure can't be the only one. Definitely when we can't hit our jumpers, then that makes it easier to guard Pau and Bynum. Plus he needs to get better, yes he has flaws but he's still 23 years old if he tries he can improve and get better.

set up a [expletive]ing practice for free throws this is BS!

LAKERS [expletive]ING SUCK AT FREE THROWS!!! you're in the nba how in the hell do you miss free throws

WTF IS KOBE DOING!

Imagine Beasley getting the ball in the corner wide open for 3. Then imagine Ron... I swear some teams just force us to give Ron the ball with nobody within 10 feet of him lol.

The wolves dont need gasol .The wolves need a shooting guard. Getting rid of beasely solves up two criterias. first it dumps salary by perhaps getting a couple draft picks, and second, they can then use them or other pieces to go out and trade for a shooting guard. thirdly, the wolves would insert derrick williams in that spot where he could blossom in to a decent small forward or just play back up PF. The lakers will have to give the wolves what the wolves want though. So wolves hold all the power here. Wolves do not need to trade. Wolves are better team without beasely, i can see them sending him away for draft picks. The Wolves seem pretty comfortable with their C/PF combination. and it wouldn't make financial sense or basketball sense to acquire Gasol to have him play at his second-best position. Plus the Lakers strengths are the same as the Wolves' strengths, but much more expensive.

Pau Gasol's name hasn't come up. They're not interested in Gasol. Mainly because they have Love and Williams. but Pau Gasol's name hasn't come up. we steal him for nothing. :glasses:

Doesn't matter, just mean he likes taking shots, something that we need. He can create his own shot. Of course he is not going to take that many shots with Kobe playing along side of him, but pretty sure we need it when it's just Bynum and Beasley on the floor and our only two scores, when Pau and Kobe are on the bench. Plus he is still 23 years old! He can improve in that area. Plus i feel like he'll have a whole new attitude and need to adjust to how we're playing. Add some scoring from the SF position. Edit: A team like the lakers would keep him in line. you never know..he could be a surprise change of pace. NBA needs to start trusting these young guys. It's like if they don't play awesome the first year you cut him the next. Hell look at Jeremy Lin.

42% 3-point shooting from the SF position would go a long way to freeing up the lane for Pau and Andrew and Kobe. Beasley would make that shot.
