After the game, Beasley wished his 4-year-old son a happy birthday in a post to Instagram. But unfortunately, some Lakers fans left hurtful comments on the post about Beasley’s performance on the court. That led to Beasley calling out the negativity and asking for respect. “It’s my sons bday and I’m trying to enjoy that,” Beasley wrote in a comment that he pinned to his post. “obviously I want to be making shots my self. I’m harder on myself then [sic] anybody.. laker nation it’s only a matter of time. I put in toooo much work not too [sic]. I promise when the time to turn up comes, it will come. “Let’s focus on getting to playoffs,” Beasley continued. “Positively is the only way to move forward from here.

Hawks pursued Jae Crowder in various three-team trade concepts

As noted above, Atlanta was one of the teams trying to acquire Jae Crowder. The Hawks, Rockets, and Suns had exploratory discussions on a three-team trade. In that scenario, John Collins would’ve landed with the Rockets, Eric Gordon and KJ Martin with the Suns, and Crowder and Landry Shamet with the Hawks, but nothing of substance materialized, league sources told HoopsHype. Atlanta also tried to acquire Crowder in three-team trade talks with Utah and Phoenix centered around Collins going to Utah, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley going to Phoenix, and Crowder and Shamet going to Atlanta. Among the reasons this scenario didn’t materialize was a disagreement in draft pick compensation that would’ve gone to Utah in the talks.

There is no replacing James, obviously, but Troy Brown Jr. is the early favorite to take his spot in the starting lineup. He’s been James’ primary backup in the first and third quarters, is solid defensively, and can space the floor around the Russell-Davis pick-and-roll attack. The Lakers also will likely find more frontcourt minutes for Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves as they attempt to collectively replace James’ scoring and playmaking. They also could deploy more two-point guard lineups — something Ham has refrained from since the deadline — with Russell and Dennis Schröder. Malik Beasley will need more 25-point nights like he had the Warriors last week. Lonnie Walker IV, who has been the 11th man in the new rotation and sparingly played, could be called upon again for his sparkplug offense.
