HEAT sign Michael Beasley

[Eric Cartman]

A week ago no one wanted him and called him a cancer. Now the Heat are suddenly stacked. Realize this, the addition of Beasley does not make them any more stacked. He's going to be their 9th, 10th guy.

Good scoring threat off the bench if his head is on straight.

[Twiens]

How did the Lakers sleep on this?

We've decided to go in another direction aka sign every underachieving SG in the league.

Well he's probably a good deal more talented that your average 9th/10th guy.

He does have attitude issues, though being on a championship team tends to get most guys to focus.

There's no doubt Miami is top to bottom the most talented team in the NBA by a fair margin too IMO.

Lol, bad signing. Face it, the guy is a scrub. He's a bust and brings nothing but problems on the court and in the locker room.

People expected him to sign for at least the mini mid level exceptions. Teams like the lakers don't have any of those. Turns out if you're a championship team that he wants to go to...you don't have to pay him much at all. It's low risk and high reward since all I hear is it's a non-guaranteed contract. "It is a non-guaranteed deal, but if Beasley makes the team, he will make $1.027 million." Most teams weren't really even interested because of all the off court drama. Works for the heat because it's a 1 and out deal, one more mistake and you're cut.

Oklahoma City Blunder. This guy will make a difference. Just like Birdman. Just like Oden will.

Congrats to the Heat on their 2014 NBA championship. You made the right choice, Bron. Good on you.

Pat Riley showing time and time again he will do whatever is necessary to win a ship. All you can do is swallow your pride and show your respect.

I guess I'll have to learn to be content with the Thunder having regular season success and watching two of the most exciting players in the league for many years to come. A lot of fans aren't as lucky.

Once again, Congrats to the Heat on the 3 peat.

[B-Easy8]

With Miami's incredible defense, he is only going to be asked to shoot open shots and score when LeBron comes off.

Heat are messed up stacked. If Oden can play 10-15 mins a night this team will be ridiculous.

[crisoner]

Great signing for the Heat. Low risk for them with what could be a high return.
IMO the rich just got richer yet again.

[sc19]

Birdman has a smoking partner to get high 2gether now.

I guess that's the way the NBA is going. Have a couple of the best players in the game playing on 1 team, then have decent players from other teams throw themselves at you for minimum cost to win championships.

It's not against the rules or anything, but surely there must be a way to stop players from playing for peanuts just so that they can bandwagon a good team...Maybe not.

Completely forgot about OKC, what are they doing? Beas has the potential to be a perfect 3rd option for them....they must really believe in the young guys/and or are cheap as ****

[ispin69]

Most teams weren't willing to sign him for 3-4 mil. If he's going to only make 1-2 mil at least he can choose the team he wants to go to. Let's not forget the Suns are still paying him with the buyout. When he went to the Sun, he probably much said his troubled weed smoking days were over, guess not so he relapsed. This really will be his last chance in the NBA. How many more teams will believe his lies if he keeps relapsing and going back on his words?

Nobody wants to play for your classless organization

DEAL WITH IT

Heat were going to 3-peat regardless
