    Shaq isn't one to shy away from an opportunity, to make some cash. Lol

    I get the feeling “cleared” is a strong word for Beasley. I think we will discover that other words like “cooperated” are a bit more fitting. Can’t imagine a team (or players) would want him in their locker room.

    that 42 million contract that went away has to sting a little right now. Most they can offer now is 7 mil?

    IF he was innocent, he was done wrong. If he's NOT, then that's just less to lose on gambling and probably in his best interest.

    Or as Beasley would say, 'The modern NBA has no respect for someone with the self-confidence and spirit to bet on himself' - 'I did that'

    Los Angeles Lakers: The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to take their current roster into training camp and give this group a chance to prove themselves before charting possible trades and changes. Specifically, the Lakers are interested in seeing what value Gabe Vincent and Maxi Kleber can provide.

    Even so, Rob Pelinka and the Lakers' front office still explored the trade market this offseason for center depth and wing defenders before signing both Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart. No deal with immediate value and minor financial details presented itself to Los Angeles during the summer, leading to Los Angeles' patience.

    The Lakers are set on having max cap space in the offseason over the next two years, and any potential moves made before the trade deadline will be reflective of this philosophy.

    Where is the quote from?

    Said it before, but I hate the bolded. It's basically admitting we're not going to trade our expirings for someone who can help us this year, because no one is looking to trade expirings for expirings. I hate establishing self-defeating criteria and then using it as an excuse later for why you didn't do anything.
