Beasley should sign with the Nuggets for the vet min. That's the only way he even has a chance at being relevent again
Beasley in a state where recreational pot is legal? What could possibly go wrong there?

I'd much rather watch a young, athletic team struggle and grow together than Beasley's sorry ass. It was a pain to watch. Good riddance.
Here's an interesting article on Beasley from a TWolves fan:

It's a nice article. I've commented before that I was surprised at how supportive many of his teammates were, they all seemed to be in his corner. And this was after he'd pretty much worn out his welcome among the fans. Other than maybe Gortat and Scola, I had the feeling that every player on the roster sincerely liked the guy.

Why stretch it? Just bite the bullet now. You're going to be terrible anyway.
It would be pretty awful if, for example, 4 years from now the Suns are close to making a big move but can't pull it off because of the few million that Beasley is costing them.
Pretty sure the cap hit is locked in, if someone else signs him it just deducts some of the actual cash the Suns have to pay.
And I agree with the general sentiment here. Dont bother to stretch him, just cut him and be done with it. I dont want to spend the next 5 years having to be reminded "Dont forget Beasley is owed 1.8 mil" every time someone tries to figure out our cap space.
I think the Suns would be better off waiting until September 1st to stretch the remainder of Beasley's contract. IMO, Gortat needs to stay in Phoenix and rehabilitate the foot.

The Suns have waived Michael Beasley. Due to consistently getting in trouble with the law.
Is "TheNBACentral" legit? Does this question really need to be asked?

This is just as legitimate as the Nigerian prince who is giving me 10% of his fortune in exchange for giving him my account information so he can get his inheritance of of the country.
On a more serious note, I have gone from being angry with Beasely to feeling sorry for him. Clearly the guy has some sort of mental issues that are not being addressed. The article from the Minnesota fan makes it look like he is a nice and decent person. He sounds like a great guy to have at the neighborhood picnic, but he is an absolutely terrible employee and he gets worse every year.
I hope for his sake that this latest incident causes him to wake up and finally "get it" to the point where he can put his life together. That doesn't mean, however, that I want to watch him playing for the Suns while he tries to figure life out. I want him to get healthy, but I don't want him hanging around Len and Goodwin while he works on getting it together.
In this article, Gambo makes him out to be a total scumbag that completely doesn't care about his teammates. Beasley's actions and other opinions don't really support that.

In a related story, Shabazz was kicked out of nba rookie camp for bringing a "female guest" into his room just an hour or so after being told that unapproved guests were not allowed.
Beasley beat that he got fined 50k at his one for smoking pot and having women in the room. Along with Arthur and Chalmers.
I dont know that I would call it a mental issue. I knew about 10 guys in college who were fun to hang out with but were completely unreliable and irresponsible. Sounds like that fits Beasley pretty well.
