With Gasol, you need that type of player more than anything. Gasol provides plenty of post game. That's really all Beasley would have over Bynum, is an array of post moves.

Bynum is b. 1987, Beasley 1989, Lopez 1988.
To answer the original question, definitely doesn't make sense for the Lakers. Bynum has the potential to be a 20/10 player for the next ten years if the injury isn't serious, on top of that his length makes him even more special.
