    Delonte West was banging LeBron’s mom. That’s why LeYawn would be so pissy over it.

    The Heat had to trade Beasley to make cap space. Saying it’s because he looks like West is just an amusing dig at The Princess on the way out.

    Beasley will win an NBA ring before the holy trinity. You can take that to the bank ala Dan Gilbert..

    Lebron made “The Decision”, Beasley will get “the Ring”

    I think Beasly starting over in Minn is the best thing that could happen. Beasly has some big time talent but I don’t think he got along with Wade too well. Minn with Beasly, W.Johnson, Love , Webster & Flynn ( not to mention what Jefferson can bring in a trade) has a bright future.

    how could they then sign mike miller for 30mil and keep haslem.. the big three all took less then j.johnson and amare to be able to have role players. so YES they could have left beasley alone.

    beasley sucks. i watched every game of his in a heat uniform. he was lost out there. i would of liked to see him stay with the big 3 to develop ala rondo, but it wasn’t meant to be. beasley woulda never been good on the heat. he might do something in the future but i don’t see him as a superstar but more of a second option. there is something missing with him and it’s on the mental part of his game which is big because at the pro level the talent level is pretty much the same. it’s the intangibles that set people apart. (unless you’re talking about kobe, wade, lebron, etc.) that’s just freakish talent

    Well from what Calvin Murphy says Beasley may already know Gloria James.

    No Daddy. Your son got traded because he was an underperforming cry baby and they needed the cap space to bring in a supporting cast for the big 3.

    Beasley was traded because D Wade has no faith in him at all after last season. D Wade made the call.
    Looking like Delonte is funny but completely irrelevant to the issue. Come on guys, get real

    They traded Beasley to make cap space FOR Mike Miller. With James/Wade/Bosh in there, a shooter like Miller is more valuable to them than an inconsistent player like Beasley.

    I guess cornrows and bad tattoos don’t fly in Miami. All Beasley needs is that herpe on Delonte’s face.

    If this story is true then, LeBron doesn’t deserve to ever win a ring.
