Use him as a sweetener with KOQ or Lee to enhance what we get back.

His career turned out how Melo's would've went had he got drafted by the Pistons. He's easily our best offensive player BY FAR.

damn, first time ive seen some1 say melo wouldve been worse as a piston from day 1

Fit is really the difference between a good player an an all star player. Ther's been many unbelievably talented players that didn't pann out because the wrong team got him.

forgot all about purple drank! i wonder where he is now.

and both of those guys were borderline NBA players. beasley has been able to hang in the league and just not stick. at first it was his fault. of late it seems circumstantial, as his last couple of stops haven't had any issues with him.

just goes to show that a place in the NBA is guaranteed to no one.

Dude can score and is being a bully in the paint. Rebounding, blocking shots...I respect it

You need to talk to your partner KT1214 because I got us all tickets to get on board The Beas Train.

BEAS TRAIN
by: Harthorne Wingo (and Cat Stevens); arrgmt. by Hawthorne Wingo; produced and directed by Harthorne Wingo

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the Knicks as one
And I believe it could be, someday it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides the Beas train
Oh Beas train take that jumpshot and let's win the again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh Beas train sounding louder
Glide on the Beas train
Come on now Beas train
Yes, Beas train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the Beas train
Come on now Beas train

Get your shyt together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a Beas train
Oh Beas train take this country, come take me home again

True, but no one can say that he hasn't earned our respect for the way he's played for Jeff. Timing and circumstances.

Beas has been surprisingly effective. He seems to be in the perfect role for his skill- and mind-set.

I don't know if a team could field him if they are in championship contention, but for now he's fun to watch.

Your favorite player's favorite player stock has never been higher, time to trade before he:

a. Hits the wall in the second half.

b. Suffers a season ending injury

c. Serves his mistress Mary Jane.
