Michael Beasley

Heat are looking to move Beasley for more cap room and the Kings are looking for another inside threat. The kings have the cap space to absorb Beasleys salary and could possibly add some filler if needed depending on the draft order. #2 pick and Turner we could afford to trade Greene, #3 or 4 pick and Favors or Cousins we could afford to trade JT or Hawes.

Beasley needs a change of scenery in the worst way and IMHO would benefit from being in a city that has a much less scrutenizing media than NY, Chicago, Miami, or LA.

He has the potential and is still on a rookie contract, but seems to have a ton of attitude and ego, but so did C-Webb, Keon Clark, et cetera. He has the potential to break out and be a great player.

Signing Haywood to bring some needed low post D and then look to trade Hawes and Nocioni and strengthen the bench to solidyfy the team going forward.

Evans/Beno
Turner/Garcia
Casspi/Nocioni/Garcia
Beasley/Landry/Brockman
Haywood/Hawes/Thompson

or

Beno/ FA
Evans/Garcia
Greene/Casspi
Beasley/Landry
Cousins/Thompson

Team A would be amazing

I think the ability for those players with attitudes to go to sac and be ok was mostly due to Adelman. I'm not sure about Westphal. I guess Barkley did well under him.

An underachieving headcase? No thanks.

Hawes just said a few comments in the Sacramento Bee, and he was benched for a game...what do you think Paul would do to Beasley?

It might be worth the risk. I don't know. The guy certainly does have a ton of talent. But things are certainly misfiring for him upstairs.

CWebb was an underachieving headcase before Sac, I relate a lot of the headcases success in Sac to Adelman and Petrie who seemed like good politicians, and knew their way with stars, but Beasly at PF is just adding fuel to the rebounding fire we managed to reduce this year, we must get a beefy, great rebounding center along his side.

I would take the risk on BEASLEY only if we traded GARCIA or NOCIANI straight up for him maybe i would add a 2nd round pick but no more than that !

Landry is better than Beasley and plays with more fire and In my opinion has just as high of a ceiling. Landry has toughness and plays bigger than he is and is very active out there. Beasley in comparison is very lackadaisical tries to play more like a 3 has zero low post game and has a weak game mentally.

I'm pretty sure that beasley is the exact opposite of everything our team is trying to become.

Beasley is basically Corliss Williamson 2.0, he's got some things we don't have but I personally am not all that interested in making the kind of effort it would take to bring him in

longfellow44 · Post #10 » by **longfellow44** » Sun Apr 25, 2010 1:34 am

^^^I wouldn't even straight up absorb his contract. He brings nothing to this team that we need.

Talent beyond talent and I think if we traded for him he'd "blow up" statistically speaking, as I alluded to in another thread, but no, he's a nitwit. Stay away!!!

^^Agreed. He may have the talent but you can't teach stupid.

I give him a look.

Sacramento may be an ideal place for Beasley. Sacramento is a place that forces you to work on your game more often. There isn't really anything else to do for basketball players here. We don't have a huge night life compare to Miami's. He is coming to a team that he can relate to; everyone in the Kings are young players. There isn't anyone he can relate to in that Heat's team. Everything is under a microscope due to Wade.

I think small things like are huge factors for Beasley's development.

I would take him as an SF over say Rudy Gay, but I wouldn't take him to play PF/C. We already have midget PFs in Landry and Brockman.

longfellow44 · Post #15 » by **longfellow44** » Sun Apr 25, 2010 11:27 am

He doesn't have the foot speed to play SF, and he doesn't have enough range to play on the pereimeter.

SF Greene >>>>> Beasley

Provide a link saying the Heat are looking to move Beasley for cap room because according to hoopshype their only committed to $24M

Lets get one thing clear. Beasley will have to WANT to improve. A coach, a father, a GM, etc can only give you a plan. Things didn't start clicking for Chris Webber until he embraced growing up. With that being said I don't think Beasley is looking like a superstar in the league. He may put together some nice seasons but he just strikes me as lazy. There are better deals out there.

Beasley will never grow up until he gets rid of his TERRIBLE hairstyle.

Just shave it off, man.

I agree with ICMTM that it's highly unlikely that Beasley would be traded as a salary dump. If you take off Wade's salary (since he's presumably one of the max FA's they'll be looking to sign this summer), they have an incredibly small amount of committed salary. They have no reason to be seeking a salary dump.

However, if it's just a matter of taking on his salary, hell yes I do it. It's worth the risk IMO.
