He's Michael Beasley!
Beasley last appeared in the NBA two and a half years ago, when he was still wearing the Los Angeles Lakers jersey. Before the trade deadline, the Lakers sent him to the Clippers, and two days later, the Clippers announced they were laying off Beasley. Since then, Beasley has tried to return to the NBA several times, but for various reasons, it has not been successful.
Today, the untamed eye of the year is also 32 years old. Putting aside the youthful madness of the past, Beasley has long since transformed. Before the Olympics, Tatum and Adebayo trained with Beasley and Oladipo. It can be seen from the picture that Beasley's figure has maintained quite well, which also shows his determination to return to the NBA from one side.
Beasley was the top of the list in 2008, and he was once compared to Durant. Indeed, on the offensive end, Beasley has a variety of means, whether it is a mid-range shot or a breakthrough, it is handy. However, Beasley's weaknesses were also exposed, and loopholes on the defensive end often became the focus of opponents' attacks.
Coupled with the sluggish playoffs and the not-so-managed personality, Beasley was sent to the Timberwolves after just two seasons with the Heat. How low is the value of his trade? The Heat only got two future draft picks and some cash from him.
In his first season with the Timberwolves, Beasley averaged a career-high 19.2 points per game. Unfortunately, the following season, Beasley was affected by injuries and the numbers began to decline.
In the summer of 2013, the Phoenix Suns struck out and signed Beasley on a three-year, $18 million contract. After only 14 months in Phoenix, the Suns announced the layoff of Beasley. The reason is drunk driving, smoking marijuana, assaulting the opposite sex... Beasley's behavior off the pitch made the team intolerable.
After that, Beasley came to the CBA, played for the Knicks, Rockets, and returned to the Heat. During the 18-19 season with the Lakers, Beasley averaged 7 points in 10.7 minutes per game. However, the characteristics of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred made the Lakers coaching team dare not reuse it.
In fact, in the past two years, Beasley is not without opportunities, last July, Beasley once joined the Brooklyn Nets, unfortunately, because the virus test was positive, the Nets canceled the contract.
Now, the 12.4-point, 4.7-rebound, 1.3-assist leader is back on the table. Will he still be on the NBA after the start of the new season?
