Ok, I hear where you're coming from, but it's because you have a little more faith that he can actually keep himself in check than I do.

To me he's proved he's worthless, as much as a player can to a guy watching from afar on TV. (I don't think we could rely on him to be good enough to make KD and Melo work, for one thing)

Beas' character problems are a different world than Metta (yes, the guy who ran into the stands) and Matt Barnes.

Ya I've always been a second chance type of guy. And I also believe in the mystique of Laker Purple and Gold lol Going into the 10-11 season there was a lot of talk about how he got serious in the summer and it really showed when he averaged 19 and 5 on a bum team. I just think that if he settled down a bit, got the right guidance under our vets he can play close to that level being that it will be a better team he will be playing with.
 
I'm all for SuperCoolBeas on the squad.

I was pissed when the trade didn't go down with Minnesota a couple years back during the trade deadline.
 
From what D'Antoni hinted at awhile back: Kaman, Pau, Young, Kobe and Nash. Maybe Hill replaces Kaman though.

Beasley would easily be the best player off our weak *** bench if he got 20-25 min.

Nick Young and Farmar don't agree with you.

Beas can get his shot off SOME nights, but this dood just cant stay engaged with a team long enough for a FULL season to make a legit consistent contribution....

how you go to minny and PHX and NOT shine????

beas was my guy, but he washed bra aint no passion left in there.
 
Lamar Odom arrested on suspicion of DUI

August 30, 2013, 8:00 a.m.


Veteran NBA player Lamar Odom was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence after he was spotted driving erratically on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley, the California Highway Patrol said.

Odom, a free agent who has played for the Lakers and most recently the Clippers, was arrested at 3:54 a.m. and booked into jail in Van Nuys at 5:01 a.m., according to jail records.

CHP officials said they spotted Odom driving a white Mercedes sports utility vehicle eastbound on the 101 Freeway near Sepulveda Boulevard. The driver was driving in a "serpentine manner" at speeds of about 50 mph.

Authorities tried to pull over Odom, but he continued driving eastbound, passing Van Nuys Boulevard and Woodman Avenue. He exited at Coldwater Canyon Boulevard and came to a stop, CHP officials said.

Odom showed "objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests as explained and demonstrated," according to a CHP report.

DOCUMENT: Lamar Odom's arrest report

Odom was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and possibly drugs.

At the Van Nuys jail, Odom refused all chemical tests and was booked without incident, CHP officials said.

Odom has made headlines in recent weeks for alleged drug use, including reports last weekend that he was missing after a fight with his wife, Khloe Kardashian Odom.

His agent told ESPN that the basketball player was “not missing,” and a source told the outlet that Odom was at a Los Angeles hotel as friends tried to help him with a drug problem.

Kardashian Odom tweeted about the reports, saying it was “really hard to sit here and listen to people talk … about my family.”

In a separate case, Los Angeles prosecutors said last week that they would not file charges against Odom in connection with a reported battery and grand theft arrest last month involving a paparazzo in Hollywood.

Instead, Odom would be required to attend a city attorney's hearing that can include a warning to avoid future run-ins or an order to attend counseling.

The incident, captured on video, took place on El Cerrito Place near Franklin Avenue. It showed Odom confiscating a rolling bag believed to contain camera equipment from a photographer who asked him questions about whether he was having an extramarital affair.

Odom, who is married to Khloe Kardashian, is then shown placing the bag in the trunk of his white Mercedes coupe and driving off.

In the same video he appears again on Hollywood Boulevard removing the items from his trunk and leaving them on the street.

The Los Angeles County district attorney declined to file charges against Odom, citing insufficient evidence that a felony had been committed.

In 2001, Odom was suspended twice for drug violations while playing for the Clippers. The NBA declined to confirm the nature of the violations.

Drug rumors and some doubts about his character bumped him from the top spot in the 1999 draft down to the fourth pick, which is where the Clippers found him. He played for the Miami Heat, the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks before returning to the Clippers last year.



Damn LO :{
 
I definitely feel some kind of way about Odom's demise right now, but... ...

 My man.

I was pissed when the trade didn't go down with Minnesota a couple years back during the trade deadline.

Also the Lakers (reportedly) had a trade in place before that, when the lockout ended, to follow up the CP3 trade. He would've been the 4 I guess, replacing Pau.


Pull yourself together LO... I was hoping this LO tabloid mess was more Kardashian slander than truth, but it's not looking that way anymore
