Sure, no pressure to win, no one sees you which means there's no analyzing .....the ideal place to play when all you care about is a paycheck

Exactly...

It's one of the few teams Bad enough to allow him consistent big time minutes...

But to his credit - he has done well with those mins this season after not exactly living up to the hype in Miami

And it's too cold to go out to a nightclub and get into a fight and then get a DUI on the way home....worked out great!

good for him. not a lot of players want to play for a non contending small market team.

I'm glad to hear that ...Beasley has played pretty good, as well as Love..they havent gotten the wins , but they have been competitive if your team sleep on the wolves they will get you.......

Hence the nickname -- Lakers -- ;-)

Wow....so many bad comments here, and why? Because, the guy loves to play in Minnesota. You know, some people love cold weather, they love snow, and they love to play for team that appreciates them. Good for him, because Michael found the place that makes him happy, I say good for him.

He needs to be in a situation like Minnesota right now. Smaller market. Less outside distractions. He can play SF instead of PF. Tough coach, but team's current philosophy of developing the young talent they have creates less pressure to win right now. It's an ideal situation for him to get his head straight, get his confidence back, and develop into the star everyone thought he'd be when he was drafted #2 overall.

It's a good situation for him right now. Smaller market. Less outside distractions. He can play SF instead of PF. As he gets more consistent on offense, they'll probably be getting after him on defense. Tough coach who'll keep him in line. But team's current philosophy of developing the young talent they have creates less pressure to win right now.

Sometimes it's not about the money or fame. Sometimes it's being in the right place at the right time. Right now, Minnesota's an ideal situation for him to get his head straight, get his confidence back, and try to develop into the star everyone thought he'd be when he was drafted #2 overall.
