    Beasley
    Gasol
    Dalembart

    What kind of damage could that 5 do?

    I think you just described Marcus Morris.

    Beasley brings the exact opposite of Chandler Parsons. Just inverse their skills and it is what you get. That is the only reason he is available. He can't guard SF's. It's a shame because he is so talented offensively but too short to play the PF angainst bigger pf's. These may be the exact problems Marcus Morris may have.

    Beasley's PER has gone down every season of his career. I can't fathom why any Rockets fan wants this guy. We have plenty of forwards who are at his current level and Marcus Morris has the same upside, is younger, and has a better contract situation.

    According to multiple FOX Sports Ohio sources, the Wolves have already spoken with New Jersey, Houston and the L.A. Lakers about Beasley. While both teams are said to still be open to a deal, it appears Beasley’s most likely landing spot, for the time being, is Boston.

    So apparently there is some sort of interest in him from the Rox.

    Great, another 4 that doesn't play defense ...and he's got a 2 cent head. Yes he's talented offensively, but we don't need another one-dimensional player in our front court; least of all, one with a history of attitude problems. Please God NO!

    If Beasley was our starting 3 it is a big upgrade bottom line. If we can get Beasley and Ridnior for Martin then trade one of our point guards and Scola for Gasol our defense will be a lot better without losing so much offense. In the paint we would be a lot better on both sides of the floor.

    love this guy...

    he's a character and doesn't give a ****. All in a good way. He loves hoopin' and is extremely talented...surrounded with a good locker room he could flourish


    MAKE HIM A HOUSTON ROCKET!!

    Put him at the '4' Spot

    his defense will not be close to as bad as Scola's and will actually surprise a lot of people

    I think as far as Defense goes... No way you are zero on D if given 6'10 and athleticism, quickness.

    Michael Beasley is not anywhere remotely close to 6-10.


    He is 6-7 without shoes. He might be one inch taller than Kevin freaking Martin...

    Anyone recognize a certain third-string PG sitting on the bench in the background at the 52-second mark? :grin:
