Had Beasley been drafted 10th to non-lottery, I believe people would instead view him as one of the biggest steals in the draft.
Yeah, he may be a "bust", but he is still posting up 15/6.5 on 45% FG.
I would gladly go after Beasley for this team. Not at full value of course, but if his value is really this low, then absolutely...see if you can get him for cheap.
Even with all his problems, he would still be one of the top players on our current roster. And if he isn't part of our long-term plans, then think of him as a 4 million dollar free agent.
Yeah, any time you have to say that about a player, they're a bust. Beasley was supposed to be a perennial all-star in this league. But all the talent in the world doesn't matter if you don't have everything going right upstairs.
I would also try to make a move for him if it was for very cheap, but the fact remains that he is a bust. He was supposed to come in and have an immediate impact. Instead he has underperformed and been a real distraction.
