Michael Beasley wants the Lakers to take it one day at a time.

So, when asked by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin about the future, his answers were – well, perfect. With apologies to McMenamin who was asking perfectly legitimate and normal questions, this is the most perfect preseason conversation.

McMenamin: “Where do you want to be?”
Beasley: “Taking it a day at a time.”
McMenamin: “But once you add up all those days, where can you end up?”
Beasley: “The future.”
McMenamin: “Fair. You’re going to move the calendar there. But the future, let’s say April through June? April through May? Where should the ceiling be for this group.”
Beasley: “The ceiling? I don’t know. I’m not sure. That’s not up for me. I’m not an analysis. I’m not a stat-chaser or critic. So, like I said, we’re here to do one job, which is work, sacrifice and take it a day at a time.”
