Los Angeles Lakers: Michael Beasley encouraged that Magic Johnson ‘wanted’ him on team

The Los Angeles Lakers summer has been full of surprises. For example, while LeBron James had been linked to Lakers’ rumors for months, no one believed he would come to L.A. as quickly as he did.

Many speculated that the only way James would consider Los Angeles would be if the Lakers had another star aboard. Of course, that theory was disproved once LeBron came to Hollywood.

In fact, all the Lakers’ summer moves outside of the James signing have been smaller scale. Part of the logic behind this statement is that the Lakers’ other signings have been one-year pacts.
