    The Royce White Mental Health Center should pick him up instead.

    I believe this is thread worthy.
    While everyone is leaning towards no because of his issues.
    He fits right into the plan. A 4 man with range. The Rockets have to consider it at least.
    He is a reason to have the lane open for Harden since he is a threat. If Harden runs in and C comes at him he has Howard to dish to.
    But in the other hand, will his locker room problem affect other players with his attitude/stunt potential/create drama.
    I personally dont want him in a Rockets uniform but you cant dismiss this topic so easily.

    We should have kept Royce, bring back RonRon and go psycho on all the other teams. Good one OP.

    Beasley should only play for the Nuggets for one simple reason:

    Weed is legal there.

    I think Houston would be a great place for him after Royce White's center for mental health opens.

    Smoking weed does not necessarily mean mental health is an issue. His only real issues have been with mar1juana possession. Something a significant portion of members right now are guilty of. Hell, it's legal in two states and half-legal in California. Get with the times.

    Beasley is a bad idea because he's not a very good player, not because he likes to smoke dope.


    _____________
    Off court issues[edit source | editbeta]

    On September 3, 2008, at the NBA's Rookie Transition Program, Beasley was involved in an incident along with fellow rookies Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur. Police responded to the hotel room of Chalmers and Arthur following a fire alarm at 2 am and claimed that the room smelled strongly of burning mar1juana, but none was found and no charges were filed. Chalmers and Arthur were excused from the camp[49] because of the incident and were later fined $20,000 each for missing the rookie camp, but were not fined or suspended for any drug-related violations. Both later denied any involvement with mar1juana.[50] Originally, ESPN reported that Beasley was also present in the room,[51] but was not asked to leave camp. The story was later updated and any mention of Beasley was removed from the article.[52]

    On September 18, 2008, Beasley was fined $50,000 by the league for his involvement in the incident after Pat Riley forced him to confess to league officials that he had slipped out the door when the police arrived.[53][54][55]
    On August 24, 2009, Beasley reportedly checked into a Houston rehab center, just days after he posted pictures of himself on his Twitter page with what some have speculated to be mar1juana in the background.[55] It is unknown if the rehab was drug related; as a report states, he was receiving counseling for stress-related issues.[56]

    On June 26, 2011, Beasley was driving in the Minneapolis suburb of Minnetonka when he was pulled over by a policeman for speeding. The policeman noticed that the car smelled of a strong odor of mar1juana. The officer allegedly found mar1juana in a plastic bag under the front passenger seat. However, Beasley said the mar1juana was not his, but belonged to a friend whom he had just dropped off. Beasley was consequently fined and ticketed.[57]

    Later in 2011, Beasley was on a NYC streetball tour with good friend and all-star Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant. On August 4, 2011, Beasley was participating in a streetball game at Dyckman Park in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City. In the game Beasley played on the 914 team (Green Shirts) and Durant on Team Nike (Black Shirts). Beasley was being heckled throughout the game. Deciding he had enough while a member of the black team was shooting free throws, Beasley walked up to the heckling fan. They argued and exchanged words, then Beasley gave the fan the open hand, pushing his face away.[58]

    On August 6, 2013, Beasley was arrested on suspicion of mar1juana possession in Scottsdale, Arizona. According to police reports, narcotics were confiscated from Beasley's car after he was stopped for a traffic violation.[59]

    I hate to
    n go off topic. He sinply isnt that good or he wouldn't have been wavied.

    This is a profession, if u cant focus it ovbiously reflects. He was supposed to be big. Look at him now in relation. Seems like he would perfer somking than playing basketball.

    Not very commited or showing the will to win.... Everyone else manages to stay out of trouble. Hes a loser.
