    I would think so, imagine being in his shoes... How can you have anything other than passion, focus and motivation. This is it! The opportunity that can make his career. I see it in his eyes he's got kids he's doing this for.

    I hope he's found some D along with his newfound maturity and focus. Kid could be a demon on D if he tried.

    He's always been an offensive weapon

    Not much of a reach prediction. He does everything Jones wants to do better and with more fluidity. This is against terrible defense but you get the point, his skills are still as sharp as ever

    Hmmm. I didn't know Luis Scola played on Michael Beasley's team in China. Interesting ;)

    Spark man if Beasley plays like this here, he would be the best PF on this team.

    Beasley should thrive in this "system". He is a great ISO player.

    Spoke to some people close to the situation.

    They said that they view the situation as one that is almost no cost. Beasley isn't stupid, actually picks things up very well when focused. Hope is he is humbled, playing in China, with a wife and child. All the input from his coaches in China were that he worked hard, kept his mouth shut and didn't complain about his circumstance and openly stated it was his own doing.

    He didn't have access to drugs in China, we will see what happens now. He will be provided temptation and access to anything he wants... the hope is that now he is humbled enough to not fail... and he has enough game left.

    I do know that other teams were interested in Beasley, I don't see how this is a bad risk.

    Good info, thanks.

    He certainly is saying the right things from those Berman quotes on twitter. Having Beasley on a vet min team option for next season makes a ton of sense and good value.
