I'm a HUGE Beasley skeptic, but I don't understand why lots of people (Mostly opposing fans) feel that he's some sort of cancer, or bad character guy. I get on him for his play, nothing else.
Yeah he had the marijuana incident (Along WITH Chalmers, who people rarely mention in regard to the whole ordeal) before his rookie season started, and yeah he went to rehab for whatever reason. Not good things, but those are off the court things, and he hasn't gotten into any legal trouble. Nor have I heard any complaints about him being a nuisance in the locker room or not working hard. There are far worse character guys in the league.
The Nets are a rebuilding team, and there's no guarantee they land a marquee FA. They may just end up with somebody like a David Lee, or Joe Johnson. With no other star talent to pair them with. In that situation, Beasley would be a nice guy to have, especially on his current contract, you just have to hope for the best, and that he develops.
