Our chemistry is already ****, might as well throw one in there who can make it more fun while we're in it.
A great signing, it seems he has settled his life down by getting married and having a kid. Finally we have a forward who can score consistently off the dribble
I agree. Too many negative ppl trashing the signing without giving him a shot that maybe he's changed. I don't like the way Morey has handled this season and it's been a complete disaster, but this is a low risk high reward signing. He was the #2 pick for a reason. He has talent he just needs to keep his head on straight which it looks like he's been doing. He's already the 2nd best PF on the team behind Dmo so I don't see the big deal. Hoping things work out for him and the Rockets.
So we swap a drunk for a stoner. This could be entertaining or a spectacular trainwreck. But hell. He's a Rocket now, so he'll get my support and I hope he can turn his career around in H-town.
I'd like to see this lineup play, at some point, out of curiosity. Harden Ariza Beasley Smith Dwight We could put some interesting lineups out there.
I'm going to go out on a limb that Beasley is going to be getting 30 min a game for us by the end of the season snd will be our 3rd highest scorer behind JH and DH. I have a feeling that he's going to play really well here. I think ppl like him mature and humble themselves after they turn 25 and he's always had a lot of talent. Something needs to break for the rockets, how cool would it be if freaking Beasley turns out be the missing guy and plays like he was in China? Not saying he gets 32 and 13 but I could see him get 17-20 ppg and 8 rebounds. His game fits well with harden. I just feel excited about seeing a guy play with harden who can legitly crest his own shot from all the attention he gets. And if Beasley can hit the 3 like he was in China? Ohh boy he's going to play a lot for this team and he will score 20 ppg.
He couldn't do this when he was younger and had LBJ, Wade, and Bosh to take attention away. So what makes you think he can do it now?
He sounded like a person who has grown up some, judging by the interview. It is not a given that you can last a season in China. A lot of players flame out when they go over. I will cheer for him as long as he is a rocket.
Not saying i agree completely with that post... but 1. he was younger, immature 2. you're not going to put up a lot of points with three all stars around you, even a star wouldn't. Heat had already won 2 rings, there wasn't a lot of opportunity there to come in and be free to "do his thing" He's automatically our third best scorer, maybe second. If his mind is right and he gets minutes..it wouldn't surprise me to see him make a significant impact.
He's a good FT shooter. He allows us to go small (If JBB is smart enough) if they start Hacking D12. I'm willing to bet he eclipses Smoove in the Rotation.
I was perplexed by the signing, but I do want to see him do well here. It benefits himself, his family and the team that he plays to his potential. We play pretty loose here, perhaps it will fit his game and we desperately need someone that can create off the bounce.
