Free-agent forward Michael Beasley has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources told Yahoo's Shams Charania.
The contract is for one year and $3.5 million, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes. Charania reported that Beasley decided on the Lakers over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It's another unexpected move by the Lakers as they continue to supplement their roster around LeBron James. Beasley can play both forward positions and is coming off a renaissance season of sorts with the New York Knicks.
The 29-year-old averaged 13.2 points on 51 percent shooting - including 39.5 percent from deep - in 74 games last season.
