NBA Rumors – Los Angeles Lakers Only Team Slightly Interested in Michael Beasley
Reputation precedes basketball skills, which seems to be the main reason why Michael Beasley is still without an NBA team. He’s not returning to the Miami Heat, and the only other team showing some interest in him seem to be the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Can Make the Most of Kobe Bryant Resting
Joining the Los Angeles Lakers and teaming up with Kobe Bryant means Jeremy Lin isn’t free from the curse of the ball-hogging shooting guard.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin as an Example of Why James Harden Isn’t Close to the Best
It’s good to have confidence, but James Harden saying about himself that he’s the best player in the NBA is closer to comedy material, when you consider he’s probably the main reason the Houston Rockets lost to the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs, and being “so good” is part of why Jeremy Lin was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Contract years are a different kind of breed in the NBA scenario. Players often focus on padding up their own stats in order to get a fat juicy contract when they become free agents before reverting back to their “real” selves.
