So looking on Twitter it looks like Beasleys is coveted by quite a few teams

Seeing the Lakers, Nets, and Celtics so far

Lakers have turned down the Wolves on Beasley for the Lakers best 1st round draft pick, but Lakers don't want to pay the added luxury tax so no deal

Dumbest rumor out their

Wolves get: Pau Gasol
Lakers get: Beasley, Barea, Howard
Magic get: Bynum and Derrick Williams

The latest on Beasley via Hoopshype:


A. Sherrod Blakely: #Celticstalk: @buellj814 -> Beasley is being shopped HARD. T-Wolves very motivated to move him, and yes, the #Celtics have some interest. Twitter

According to multiple FOX Sports Ohio sources, the Wolves have already spoken with New Jersey, Houston and the L.A. Lakers about Beasley. While both teams are said to still be open to a deal, it appears Beasley’s most likely landing spot, for the time being, is Boston. FOXSportsOhio

“Minnesota is dangling Beasley to see what else they can get, but I’d be surprised if this wasn’t the deal they eventually made by the (March 15) trading deadline,” one source said. “The Celtics, of course, would love it.” FOXSportsOhio

Beasley scored 27 of those 72 points off the bench Tuesday and he was in that role yet again Wednesday against the Lakers, even though bench mate Derrick Williams was promoted to starter against the Lakers when Kevin Love fell ill and missed the game while Lakers star Kobe Bryant played on with a plastic mask protecting his broken nose. "It's hard, I've never been in a position like this," Beasley said about a reserve's role he has filled for the past 18 games. "I've always been a starter. Coming off the bench is different. My minutes fluctuate. It's kind of weird. You just have to be professional about it, stay ready and work on my game. We've got so much talent on this team." Minneapolis Star-Tribune

He might not have to worry about such things -- at least not in Minnesota -- if you believe the national rumor mill that has the Wolves trading Beasley to anywhere from the Lakers, Boston, Houston or New Jersey for anything from a trade exception, a draft pick or a veteran player by the March 15 deadline. "It's part of the game," Beasley said. "I've been traded once before. Nobody wants to get traded. I just play basketball, and if it happens, it happens." Minneapolis Star-Tribune

What is THAT!?

first of all kahn said that D-will i untouchable
second why would we trade both b-easy and williams
is love gonna play the 3 ? haha, soo pek, pau, love, ?

dummbest trade haa!

My guess is that he moves for crappy 1st round pick at the deadline.

I'd say Beas for Nick Young would be my fairly ideal realistic rearranging the deck chairs type trade.

Not a bad idea Pants. Has to be for a player. A draft pick would be infuriating.

The Jermaine O'Neal idea is especially fail. Id take a pick before that moronic idea.

Meh. Unless NJ wants to give up Morrow I'd just as soon trade a better player and get more back. Beasley is more versatile than Derrick Williams, but Williams might be more talented- but he plays the same position as Love. Williams for E Gordon extend and trade. Or Williams plus someone else for Steph Curry, then we get the Curry/Rubio backcourt we drafted in 2009 thought we were inevitably going to draft in 2009.

Morrow would be even sweeter.

Evan Turner would be sweetest.

But just please don't salary dump Beasley for a random, crappy draft pick.

I still don't understand why we are so pumped to trade Beas, unless he expects a raise (he doesn't deserve one).

Correct. Just keep the guy if you can't get good value for him. The value of him being a bench spark for the 2nd half of the year is far more valuable to the Wolves, even if we lose him for zilch. Fight for the playoff spot. Then give him a MLE contract if we want. I wouldnt be opposed to that.

wolfenstein wrote: In all seriousness how much money do you think he'll ask for as a free agent? My guess is A LOT. At least, way more than he's actually worth.

EXACTLY. He is built for that Jason Terry/Lamar Odom role where he can come in and do things, but if he doesn't do things, he doesn't kill your team. Plus he's waaay better when he comes in and his brain tells him that the ball is moving, so he should continue to allow the ball to move and not try to hold it every possession or dribble up the court.

Further, Mike Beasley is NOT Dwight Howard. He's not the guy you "worry about losing for nothing." If he signs for more elsewhere...
