I think RA is thanking his lucky stars he has b-easy. The guy is talented, but now all he needs to do is rein it in a bit and realize that he has teammates. Once Beasley gets it together and plays within the system the twolves are going to be scary.
You overestimate Beasley. He won't do well with expectations and a demanding coach. Don't know if you watched him much last year, but he did some of the stupidest things you'll ever see late in games. Adelman doesn't coddle stupid young players. IMO, Beasley doesn't have a long-term future in Minny and Adelman's hiring almost guarantees that. If Derrick Williams develops quickly, start the timer. Adelman said in an interview this season he is looking to lay a foundation for the future. The best place for Beasley might be on the Hornets (or Raptors).
Yeah, Adelman is not going to put up with bullshet. You run his offense, or you are off the rotation, he doesn't give a damn who you are
Adelman adapts his system to personnel, but if a player doesn't conform with whatever his program is, he doesn't forgive.
I know b-easy is an idiot. Be he is a talented idiot. I can pretty much guarantee that he is nearly untouchable in minny. That certainly aren't going to GIVE him away. I remember that Rudy Gay had the same problem, albeit a little less overt, and he corrected it. Beasley can correct it also. But I understand your point. I just think that you are underestimating his talent. In houston, he didn't have guys like this so not playing rookies like twill, for example, makes it seem like this is the norm. I doubt it, is all.
Beasley is an idiot, kills flow on offense and jacks up terrible shots. Williams should take his spot and he should be on the bench where he belongs.
I've seen Beasley plenty in Miami and Minny. He has talent but is also an uncontrollable idiot. "Guaranteeing" that he is "nearly untouchable" in Minny is clueless. When it comes to giving him away, that is exactly what the Heat did. You think they have any regrets? Now that there is a serious regime (because of Adelman) in Minny, watch what happens. B-Stupid doesn't have nearly the market value you think he does. Question: How much do you think the T-Wolves will get in return for him? You also insult Rudy Gay by comparing him to Beasley. Not EVEN close. There are few guys in the NBA (or in the general population) that are as idiotic and loopy as Beasley. It isn't correctable.
dude, give the guy a break. he is learning. they nearly took out okc tonight and a lot of that was due to b-easy.
It's not for me to give B-Stupid a break. I'm just telling you facts without listing all of the stupid stuff he's done (on and off the court). I've watched him play quite a bit since he joined the NBA. I watched nearly every one of his games at K-State and was very upbeat on his NBA prospects despite the rumors about him. My opinion has completely flipped. Seriously, there were rumors Minny was going to dump him last season. With Adelman bringing some gravity to the franchise, Beasley is likely a goner. If he doesn't shape up, he will be shipped out for peanuts. I'm not hopeful, but maybe anything is possible.
If Artest and Bonzi Wells can be Adelman favorites, then Beasley will be fine. The T-wolves haven't even had a full training camp with Adelman. Beasley is learning as the season progresses.
