Do you think Beasley will get his own shoe deal?

It has been a whirlwind of activity for Beasley since the days leading up to last Thursday's draft. Beasley's representatives have since closed endorsement deals with three trading-card companies, two video-game companies and a sports-drink manufacturer. A shoe deal could be completed in days.

Sounds like B-easy is in high demand . I know last year Kevin Durant (The #2 pick) signed a shoe deal worth 60 million, in which he had is own shoe that was sold in stores. I was wondering if that will end up happening to Beasley. Durant seemed to be more hyped coming out last year, when in fact Beasley had a better freshman season. I think Michael is more profitable then Durant, with his personality and being in Miami. Only thing that would hurt him marketability wise is the fact that he has Dwyane Wade on his team.

I would be psyched if he got his own shoes, I might just have to be the first to get me some "B-Easy's"

Yes Beasley will get a shoe deal.

There also is a chance Beasley could join a team of young NBA players selected to practice against the U.S. national team as it prepares for next month's Beijing Olympics.

For the next several weeks, it's all about growing acclimated with the Heat for Beasley, who returned to Miami after a weekend in his hometown near Washington. That process begins Wednesday, when Beasley puts on his NBA practice jersey for the first time

.

This would be great. Giving Beasley and Wade a chance to talk and become familiar with each other on and off the court.

QFT, I was thinking that too.


He needs to gain a relationship with Beasley like he did Mayo.

I think Wade being on the team will HELP his marketing. Whether or not he'll be in commercials already like Durant remains to be seen. It does seem like Durant was being more prepped for stardom his rookie season.
