NBA source tells Sun Sentinel that Miami Heat will sign Michael Beasley to non-guaranteed, make-good contract from training camp.
Meaning: stay out of trouble and you'll make the team.


Ira Winderman ‏@IraHeatBeat 7m
While Beasley will receive the 5-year veteran minimum of $1,027,424, Heat's actual salary-cap hit will be only $788,872, under the cap.

[Eric Cartman]

Pointless signing.

Congrats dummy, you just turned this into another one of "those threads"

[tazb]

Not bad. LeBron will turn this pothead into the second best small forward in the game.

[Mass Debator]

All planned out since the departure with the Heat. Beasley will turn into Melo 2.0 after Lebron leaves next year. He'll be the new franchise player who's only 24. :bowdown:

[Nash]

Is this for real? Damn, I actually said they would even though I didn't believe it.

First of all, he won't act out in a team with Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Allen and those guys.

Third, really.. Miami has been looking for a an athletic player off the bench and they end up getting Beasley? Damn..


And last, don't you guys ever doubt Woj again, he called it a few days ago and the Miami journalists started pissing on him.

I really like signings like Beasley and Oden when you're a champ. Idk why championship teams dont go out of there way to sign guys like that all the time instead of veterans like Allen.

Please let Beasley play to his potential if he makes the team

Nice Miami's exactly the type of place a weed head like Beasley needs to get clean. Over under on the number of games before he gets cut.

Remember when people were arguing who would have the better career, him or Durant? :lol

Guys a fool, but I don't see how he is going to continue acting like a total moron with the Heat stars telling him what to do.

Everyone and their mom wants to go to the Heat to get that shiny ring.

But they both will smoke out on the ganja though. Beasley was a bad influence on him but that's okay now that Lebron/Wade/Bosh have control of the locker room and contain the cancer.

My question is, how well will he replace Mike Miller? He has offense but he may also be a chucker. Does his defense match up even though he is athletic enough? They definitely could use a scorer to replace Miller and when Wade goes inconsistent. But the reason they don't use Rashard Lewis is because of his bad defense and lack of efficiency.

[bizil]

Beasley STILL has major upside as a scoring force in the L. On Miami he can come off the bench and provide that scoring spark. He can play SF and PF and guys like Bron and Wade are gonna make him better. When they go with Bosh at C and Beasley at PF, they can stretch that floor in a major ass way! If it doesn't work oh well, Miami is still the favorite to win it all anyway. But if Beasley can't thrive with Bron, Wade, and Bosh, then he's the hopeless case many think he is anyway. Hopeless in terms of not living up to his potential. This dude talent wise should be in the top 6-7 SF's in the L.

Oh yeah I forgot about them smooking weed in the hotel when they were rookies. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Morons, Miami's big four is surrounded by morons. (Minus Shane, that guy is one of the smartest athletes in sports history)

[Nash]

I think Beasley will want to prove he's changed. Especially when he's in the spotlight with the Heat.

[Frozen1]

LOL this guy was miami's hope in 2008-2009 and now he is just another scrub on the team.

This speaks for itself for how stacked miami heat is right now.

But this is what comes with a championship team, this is a no risk sign, just like birdman and oden. If they play well, they will help the team in some way, but if they play bad, they won't hurt either, because they will not be playing at all.

I remember thinking to myself in 08-09 "Man, I hope we don't trade Beasley for Bosh when we can wait until 2010 and sign Bosh while keeping Beasley. That big 3 of Bosh-Wade-Beasley will take us to the promised land."

In a way it's finally happened :lol

[Twiens]

Game over, NBA

[Twiens]

Game over, NBA

70+ wins?

[ispin69]

There's no doubt he's a scoring machine. But how much can he contribute with less playing time and less shots than he would as first/second/third option on a crappy team?

Did he choose to get bought out leaving 2 mil on the table so he wouldn't get waived and be claimed by random teams? Buyout means he gets to choose the team he wants to go to like a free agent?

I'm happy for the heat. Great scorer for the bench should they need it.

[Peteballa]

I wonder what number he will wear now that Cole is 30

[Reverend Hoops]

I'm happy for the heat. Great scorer for the bench should they need it.

They will in the playoffs. Bosh's 0 point stinkers and Wade's injuries matter a lot less now.

Well he's probably a good deal more talented that your average 9th/10th guy.

He does have attitude issues, though being on a championship team tends to get most guys to focus.

There's no doubt Miami is top to bottom the most talented team in the NBA by a fair margin too IMO.

[OJ SIMPSON 2.0]

Lol, bad signing. Face it, the guy is a scrub. He's a bust and brings nothing but problems on the court and in the locker room.

http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/post/_/id/37168/will-the-lakers-be-in-the-michael-beasley-sweepstakes

People expected him to sign for at least the mini mid level exceptions. Teams like the lakers don't have any of those. Turns out if you're a championship team that he wants to go to...you don't have to pay him much at all. It's low risk and high reward since all I hear is it's a non-guaranteed contract. "It is a non-guaranteed deal, but if Beasley makes the team, he will make $1.027 million." Most teams weren't really even interested because of all the off court drama. Works for the heat because it's a 1 and out deal, one more mistake and you're cut.

[Budadiiii]

Oklahoma City Blunder. This guy will make a difference. Just like Birdman. Just like Oden will.

Congrats to the Heat on their 2014 NBA championship. You made the right choice, Bron. Good on you.

Pat Riley showing time and time again he will do whatever is necessary to win a ship. All you can do is swallow your pride and show your respect.

I guess I'll have to learn to be content with the Thunder having regular season success and watching two of the most exciting players in the league for many years to come. A lot of fans aren't as lucky.

Once again, Congrats to the Heat on the 3 peat. :applause:

[B-Easy8]

With Miami's incredible defense, he is only going to be asked to shoot open shots and score when LeBron comes off.

Heat are messed up stacked. If Oden can play 10-15 mins a night this team will be ridiculous.

[crisoner]

Great signing for the Heat. Low risk for them with what could be a high return.
IMO the rich just got richer yet again.

I guess that's the way the NBA is going. Have a couple of the best players in the game playing on 1 team, then have decent players from other teams throw themselves at you for minimum cost to win championships.

It's not against the rules or anything, but surely there must be a way to stop players from playing for peanuts just so that they can bandwagon a good team...Maybe not.

[ispin69]

Most teams weren't willing to sign him for 3-4 mil. If he's going to only make 1-2 mil at least he can choose the team he wants to go to. Let's not forget the Suns are still paying him with the buyout. When he went to the Sun, he probably much said his troubled weed smoking days were over, guess not so he relapsed. This really will be his last chance in the NBA. How many more teams will believe his lies if he keeps relapsing and going back on his words?

The Heat have 7 players drafted in the top 7 in the draft

[arifgokcen]

In a perfect world where odens stays healthy and becomes a defensive force in the paint and where beasley reaches his potential and lastly wade stays healthy

YES

Miami would be ridiculously stacked however this is not a perfect world and oden will not stay healthy.Wade will have bumps and bruises and beasley will struggle with his off-court issues

I think people are overreacting with Beas and Oden. I seriously doubt Oden's ability o actually play, let alone contribute. Beasley isn't going to get minutes because he's a chucker and poor defender, I can't see him being in the p/o rotation tbh.

Both guys could still break-out as superstars, but aren't likely to. Miami can take these risks though.

One thing is for certain however; Rio and Udonis approve of this signing.

Beasley playing for peanuts on the Heat? There's a good chance he won't even be on the team roster once the season starts.

Don't act like you wouldn't be upset had the Bulls signed Beasley for free with all his off the court issues. He'd single-handedly flip the best defensive team in the league to the all-slacker team.

I doubt Beasley will get a lot of minutes. Maybe 8-12 minutes per game if he does make the team.

Anyway, I'm happy with the signing. People might say hes a locker room risk, etc, but I just like watching the guy play, and he was and still is one of my favorite players in the league. Yeah, hes stupid, but talented.

Everyone mad the Heat got him, but no one else wanted him... lol

EDIT: And finally nice to have someone who can create for themselves off the bench if it does come to fruition.

[inclinerator]

the rich get richer ;)

[I<3NBA]

a few days ago, no one wanted him. and now the Heat are stacked? :lol just like when everyone was saying any team that signs Oden is stupid, and when the Heat signed him, again they are assured of a 3-peat? so players that are busts turn into star material when signed by the Heat? i guess it's the Lebron effect.

also, what are the odds all these crack heads are on one team?

Chalmers, Birdman, Beasley, and Rashard? it's like Riley's just asking for a crack party happening in the locker room.

[ispin69]

- Signing Oden and Beasley to be starters for legit money is stupid.

As someone who doesn't really want the Heat to win any more, I have to admit this is a great pick up. Jesus. No one is denying this dude's talent. He's on a team that will really push the pace, he can grab boards. I don't think he'll get many plays run for him, but just being a guy who can get out on the break and check a PF, hit 3s...

Oden was an eh signing because he may never play, but Beas is still a talent. He can be like Antoine Walker was for the 06 Heat... if he's scrubbing they just sit his ass back down.

Edit: BTW


Well he turned you from a Celtic fan into the second biggest "heat fan" d!ckrider..

[G-train]

Potential new daddy for Lebron. Gloria likes her mix-breeds. But I hope he'll get high with Anderson one day and rape Bosh instead.

You need to see a professional.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

1) Beasley can turn it around. He is only 24 years old, HE IS YOUNGER THAN NORRIS COLE.

2) He's basically the 13th, or 14th spot on the roster. Deep bench player that would have normally been given to a guy like Varnado, who will never play. Beasley actually has a chance to play, and a lot more talent.

3) Beasley will be around role models like Ray Allen, LeBron, SHANE BATTIER, etc... this team can teach him how to behave in the NBA, how to take the game seriously, how to improve. He will learn a lot if Beasley is serious about this chance the Heat have given him.

4) Beasley will be given burn in the reg season to rest our aging vets. He won't sniff the court in the playoffs unless he improves. He knows this.



This is a GREAT move. Excellent move. Replace a scrub that would never play, the 14th man on the roster, with Beasley. Still young with a long career ahead of him.

[Nash]

This is only going to be a one year thing. Suns are paying him this year so I guess he decided he wanted to go back to Miami if he's going to get the minimum anyway.

Also this guy is Mike Millers replacement. Miami first real acquisition. Oden is still a huge question mark and can't be counted on.

Also, Beasley just came of a 10 ppg season, what is that all about?

B Easy shot 40% from 3 land his rookie year and is a 35% career shooter from 3, so make it 38-40% this season due to being wide open.
Good luck on that one. lmao

[wagexslave]

What track is that again? The track to being a scrub that ALMOST deserves to be in the game at garbage time? lol I'll be surprised if he even achieves that level.

[comerb]

This is just the cherry on top. This is a deep deep team. Wouldn't surprise me if they break the Bulls record.

Coming off their 3rd straight finals? They'll be lucky to hit 60 wins, too much burnout.

[kNicKz]

lebron needs more help :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

:facepalm

[raprap]

Mike miller replacement. Pat riley :applause:

[SilkkTheShocker]

More help for Lebron for an extreme fraction of the price. :lol Ridiculous.

Good Lord, still butthurt from the Finals much? :oldlol:

[SilkkTheShocker]

lol the heat are a joke.


6%

[wagexslave]

Anyone saying this is a good pickup is delusional. I don't see how this doesn't hurt the team. Cherry on top of the sundae? More like vomit on top of the sundae

[Scholar]

:oldlol: So much for that bullshit that a bunch of sports writers were putting on Twitter, saying a Heat rep said they weren't interested in Beasley. :facepalm

Good for Miami.

Let's be real, the Suns are awful.

No one could do well on last season's team. PJ Tucker was playing 30+mins a game and Gortat and Scola went from elite role players to utter scrubs.

Beasley had every chance to succeed on that team and failed miserably

There's no risk, at all. If Beasley does anything out of the way, Miami will just waive him. This is basically just an invitation to training camp.

[ZaaaaaH]

Great sign by the Heat.

BeEz has a lot in his Tank if he decides to focus and only smoke once in awhile.

[The_Yearning]

Laker fans were yearning for Beasley when he was on the block and now the Heat have him all of a sudden he's a cancer? :lol

[kshutts1]

I wish my team had the balls to sign some "risky" players. Bulls are too content and complacent, and that's why they're not winning a title any time soon.

On the other hand, Heat go balls-to-the-wall for the guys they want, knowing they will make it work... and it's done nothing except 3 straight Finals appearances and two straight titles.

I guess playing it safe is the way to go, huh Chicago?

... In case you can't tell, I'm butthurt that Chicago didn't even TRY to get Beasley or Oden. Seriously? The nucleus you have already, with strong culture and leadership, and you're gonna worry about how one player would fit (assuming that's why they stayed away)? :wtf:

Edit: Even if Beasley and Oden don't play at all and/or get waived/cut, they were great signings. There is minimal risk, but the potential payoff is quite large.

the risk taking actually started with Birdman. nobody wanted Andersen because of his rep. the Heat took a chance and it paid off.

we'll see what happens with Oden and Beasley.

Unless there was collusion (possible) I would argue that the risk taking began with the summer of Lebron and Bosh signings. To allow all your players to leave, and just have hope that you can sign NBA talent that will fill out the roster without handicapping it (big money to good, not great, players, etc) is quite risky. Again, this is assuming there was no collusion.

Then old man Ray Allen. Birdman. Oden. Beasley.

[Shade8780]

If Beas turns it around with Miami, can he be LeBron's Beasley to Jordan's Rodman? Can't wait to see how this works out.

[jzek]

right, who don

[Nash]

We should stop this Pat Riley glorification. I love the man but he's in a very good situation to bring in players right now. It wasn't this easy to get players pre 2010.

Here is why players sign for Miami:

1. Lebron/Championship
2. Wade and Bosh
3. The city of Miami
4. Exposure

[DaSeba5]

That's the way it works around here.

[305Baller]

Haslem is going to stick Beasley in a small room with 2 tons of weed and will tell him to keep smoking nonstop until Beasley throws up at the sight of it.

Beasley will never smoke again.

Don't forget Battier.

[G-train]

I'm on record on this site saying nobody should sign him.

But after bringing 3 titles with his personnel decisions, and producing teams that have made deep playoff runs, you have to trust Pat Riley as a Heat fan.

He had improved significantly at the basics of winning bball in his finals season with Miami.

[Bigsmoke]

Beasley >>>> Mike Miller

And Beasley is 10 years younger so why is this a bad pick up?

[hawkfan]

This is a steal of pickup considering what is out there and the upside of Beasley's talent, if he gets his act together.

Big if, but who else is out there that can be a guy who can get them 15-8 off the bench.

He could be this year's Andre Blatche - get out of a really bad situation and go to a better environment.

[EnoughSaid]

Beasley, if he focuses in on his game and refines his skills, will be able to play to his potential and be a 6th man type of player of Miami. All depends on his level of maturity. This isn't the Timberwolves or the Suns. This is a back to back championship team, with the best player on the world and some serious goals. He'll be ready.

Still feel like Oden is the main piece. Hoping he's healthy and ready to go.

All they need out of Oden is about 5-8 mpg in the playoffs when the Heat go against Hibbert, Chandler, Noah, Lopez.

[kuzdeen]

Bosh and bron can use some rest with this signing, preserve their energy for the playoffs. Thats if he's signed to play in the Regular season.

On paper it is one hell of a pickup(if he gets his shit straight).
