Beasley traded

[Pistons < Spurs]

STEIN_LINE_HQ: ESPN.com sources: Miami has agree to a trade with Minnesota that will send Michael Beasley to the Wolves. Link forthcoming

[Chieflion]

Kahn is the biggest idiot of all time.

[baseline bum]

All 3 can get the max now.

[eyeh8u]

this is pat riley's blitzkrieg

[4>0rings]

and Miami will be getting..??? Kevin Love???

[BUMP]

Kahn is the biggest idiot of all time.

tbh, this had to have been completed earlier and LeBron must've known about it already. Otherwise they would've had no room to sign him

[HarlemHeat37]

Predictable..I wonder what the package was though..

Looks like Al Jefferson will be sent packing soon, as expected..

:elephant

:elephantCause every team is trying to revolt against the Stern/West lead Lakers.

[cobbler]

we dont need tmac. We are in good shape to win it all again next year. Unfortunately for you cause I know you aren;t the biggest fan... Bynum will play a huge role in that.

[024]

every team should shun the heat, not help them. damn fuckers.

[HeatChamps]

Beasley isn't needed anyway. Overrated. Wade made him who he is.

[MannyIsGod]

Wait, so do they get a fucking trade exception out of this too?

[IknowU]

ricky rubio

OMFG I swear ill run a nude lap around my house if he goes to Miami.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:downspin::down spin::downspin:

[Pistons < Spurs]

Wolves-Heat deal, sources say, calls for 'Sota to absorb Beasley into cap space and send its 2011 second-round pick to Miami to seal deal

[baseline bum]

I wonder if this means Miller agreed to join them.

[himat]

This isn't a bad thing if Beasley was traded just so LBJ could get more money...It just takes away another role player the Heat could have.

Now if LeBron is willing to take a pay cut and they traded Beasley for some legit vets...well then I'm really pissed off!

[Kori Ellis]

I wonder if this means Miller agreed to join them.

He's supposedly contemplating a 5 year/27.5M deal from them. So I'm guessing that's done.

[baseline bum]

Wait, so do they get a fucking trade exception out of this too?

Damn, I didn't even think about that. Wow, a $5 million trade exception!

[024]

will be pretty interesting. do the big 3 absorb that space into their contracts or allow the heat to get someone like miller?

[Veterinarian]

Kahn is the biggest idiot of all time.
He's an idiot for drafting three point guards and then trading probably the best one (Lawson), before signing another (Sessions) and then he's an idiot for drafting three small forwards and then trading for another (Webster), or signing Milicic. But this is a good move, Beasley has potential and he's on an affordable contract.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Wolves/Heat also agree to unspecified swap of future first-round picks. Heat turned to 'Sota after four-way trade w/TOR, HOU, CHA dissolved

:lmao

For the first time in my life, I know how you guys feel about the Gasol trade.:lmao I can't hate though, I got two titles out of it. Let's go get TMAC Buss.

I aint even mad. :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

If this means they get Mike Miller, that's a massive move..

You forgot the gay in the middle.

lol kahn

:elephant

nba teams do it all the time

Pop gave Rodman to the Bulls. Just recently at the draft Presti gave Miami more cap room.

Just the way it works.

[MannyIsGod]

No way they have the money for 3 max deals AND Miller right?

[MiamiHeat]

No way they have the money for 3 max deals AND Miller right?

if they traded beasley, then yes

if they didn't, then bron, wade, and bosh would have had to take $1.7mil less each to sign mike miller

[ducks]

miller is suppose to get a big offer from knicks

[eyeh8u]

No way they have the money for 3 max deals AND Miller right?


they are all signing for less, they want titles, they are actual friends, they want every team record, from 72-10 to a 16 game post season, you can call them all what you want but if at the end each one of them has 7 rings on their fingers all of this wont mean shit

[baseline bum]

if they traded beasley, then yes

if they didn't, then bron, wade, and bosh would have had to take $1.7mil less each to sign mike miller

If James, Wade, and Bosh all take about a $1 million paycut, then they can now sign Miller to about a $5M first year deal (this is factoring in Chalmers' deal and the cap holds for 7 open roster slots under 11).

[timvp]

Beasley for nothing? Pretty damn good trade for Minnesota ... even though he doesn't fit.

[HarlemHeat37]

I would agree that it's a good risk for Minnesota, but apparently they can swap first rounders(IIRC)..that's risky..

It has to mean Al Jefferson is gone..

[ducks]

Beasley for nothing? Pretty damn good trade for Minnesota ... even though he doesn't fit.

beasley could get traded again.......

[InRareForm]

minnesota is miami's dump.

antoine walker was the last salary dump there.

[Banzai]

Minnesota was Bostons dump..now Miami.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I just want to stop the thread for a moment and ask: who in the world refers to Minnesota as 'Sota?

Anything is possible.

[Trill Clinton]

So the cHeat got a 2nd rounder and a future lottery pick for sorry ass Beasley?

The NBA where stupidity is rampant.
