LA Lakers NBA Trade Rumors, News: Michael Beasley In the Spotlight

Lately, the Los Angeles Lakers have shown a huge interest in Michael Beasley. They even brought him in for a few training sessions. Michael Beasley might just be a good choice for a team that's looking for a forward, either that, or a major risk.

Most of the biggest names of the NBA 2014 have already signed contracts with their former teams or a new one. However, Michael Beasley still remains on the free agent list. The Miami Heat listed him as No. 3 overall in 2008 after his excellent college career at Kansas State.

According to Latin Post, the Lakers should really consider signing Michael Beasley. Finishing the season with 55 losses means your team needs more help. With the new Lakers coach, and all the losses, the team can no longer depend solely on Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant isn't getting any younger and the team needs some youngsters to take his place in the future.

Michael Beasley might not be the best player, but he could help the team to score and rebound more.

However, being the only star without any contract at this time makes this questionable. Michael Beasley has been known to cause problems on and off the court. According to the Latin Post, after he was arrested for drug possession, The Suns released him in 2013. The drug problem has been affecting his career since 2008. However, in the last four seasons, Beasley's overall performance has increased big time.

Conclusively, he could help the Lakers gain points, but he is also a very risky trade. On that note, the Lakers are probably saving money to sign a different player.
