southsider2k5 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 03:57 PM) On the Bobcats? No. The Heat? A team loaded with quality, take no s*** veterans, good coaching and an elite front office? On a non-guaranteed deal? Most definitely. lol. Get serious man. Michael Beasley is not going to give the Heat something they don't already have. The dude is a body to keep LeBron's seat warm while he wins games. The dude is a bust.

The Heat have a 20 something year old double digit scorer off the bench? Did I miss something? Beasley's scoring could come in really handy for the auto 15-20 games Wade misses.

Spoelstra is a competent coach, so it's not likely that Beasley will play long enough to do that. If he does because of a blow to the head or copious ammounts of alcohol, we can all thank the lord that he's shooting the ball instead of Miami's numerous superior options.

Any of those guys are better options open behind the arc than Beasley taking his patented two dribble pull-up jumper with a hand in his face. The guy averages 14.1 PPG in his career on 12.7 shots. That's horrid. Oh, and that's the "strength" of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing with prime-Wade and Spoelstra the first time the Heat gave up on him. And he was the #2 scoring option so he had the freedom to do what he wanted instead trying to carve out a role with three stars and several key veterans that were already a part of a championship team. He's clearly shown that he's willing to do what it takes to play smart, winning basketball throughout his career (I hope that doesn't need the green).

Yeah, because teams give up #2 picks after 2 years for cap-clearing purposes all the time. He would have made $4.9 mil that year. They signed Mike Miller for $5 mil. They picked Mike Miller instead of him. Clearly a ringing endorsement. The last part is really funny to me given that you're talking about a guy that might be Miami's 9th man making them unstoppable. Butler will at least start. Edited September 14, 2013 by ZoomSlowik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When LeBron James is the prize, you damn right you give up that player. Beasley, at that time, had no place with Miami once they got James. The last part is really funny to me given that you're talking about a guy that might be Miami's 4th forward putting them over the top. Butler will at least start. Put them over the top?

And once again, they picked Mike Miller over him, not Lebron James. Miller made 100k more that year than Beasley did. If he was such a "solid if not spectacular" player, they could have and would have kept him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get is how you can have doubt about his even making the team, but still think he is going to be some difference maker. That is a joke.
