The proposed deal, sources said, would send Beasley and Rockets forward Jared Jeffries to Charlotte, land Bobcats center Tyson Chandler in Houston and create sufficient cap space for Heat president Pat Riley to offer max-contract money to Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and James.


One source with knowledge of Toronto’s thinking, however, insists that the four-team trade -- which would require Houston to send at least $3.1 million in salary to the Raptors -- is "not happening." Toronto continues to convey the message that it is a reluctant partner in any deal that makes Bosh’s departure more lucrative.

But another source close to the process told ESPN.com on Thursday afternoon that Charlotte is highly motivated to acquire Beasley, which would undoubtedly encourage Miami -- which has been struggling to find a team willing to gamble on Beasley because of his off-court baggage -- to keep pressing for the trade to be consummated.

It is obvious that toronto cost us Beasley. I'm glad they didn't get chandler.

This is really sad...reliving one of the moments from this summer when we thought we'd pull off something really special.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I don't think Miami was that motivated to trade Beasley to us. They could have done it even after the 4 team trade fell apart but they chose to dump him on Minny. And it doesn't sound like Toronto wanted this deal so this is one of those trade proposals that was doomed from the start like most are.

so what? It's not like we would have lost any valuable assets if we traded Chandler for him. No, we rather decided to trade for even more useless players with horrible contracts.

Beasley (doesn't matter how good he would have been, and he certainly wouldn't be as bad as Dominic McGuire and Carroll) and Jeffries off the bench >>>>>>> The trash of bench players we currently have.

Honestly if we didn't have Crash and T2 I'd be more interested in Beasley. Beas can play the 3 or the four, but those positions are already filled... Also I doubt he'll be traded anytime soon.
