"The Walking Bucket" is headed to the West Coast. 

Knicks F Michael Beasley has agreed to a one-year deal with the Lakers for next season, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

Beasley played a bench role with the Knicks last season until Kristaps Porzingis went down with a torn ACL. He, then, took over as one of the main scorers on the team.

Overall, Beasley finished the season with 13.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. 

The 29-year-old was not only a big personality on the court, but it may have been bigger off it. Before the season began, he sat down with SNY's Taylor Rooks for one of the most memorable interviews that featured watches on ankles, and conversations about who figure out humans only use 10 percent of their brains.

By joining the Lakers, Beasley will now play for his seventh team in his 10-year NBA career.
