NBA: L.A. Lakers
LOS ANGELES (AP) Michael Beasley thinks the basketball world is foolish to assume the Los Angeles Lakers revamped locker room will be combustible before the fuse is even lit.
The Lakers announced their signing of Beasley to a one-year contract Monday, adding the versatile forward to their new core of veterans around LeBron James.
Beasley, Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson and JaVale McGee have all joined Los Angeles this month in a slate of provocative offseason signings to supplement its talented youngsters and James, who started the parade to the West Coast when he left Cleveland for the 16-time NBA champions in free agency.
