Spurs working out Michael Beasley

[TheGreatYacht]

According to Woj

[Fireball]

Spurs now trolling players not only by beating their teams by 20+ points ...

[benefactor]

:lol

[Spur|n|Austin]

Umm..

[Malik Hairston]

:lol if Spoelstra didn't play Beasley because he doesn't play defense and couldn't grasp their system, I can't imagine Pop giving him a second of playing time, tbh..

[Dverde]

Instant offense who is terrible defender. Plenty of Spurs like that in the Pop era e.g. Gary Neal, Bonner. I think his mental lapses and mindset are the real issues. I can't see the Spurs signing him. I really think the Spurs are trying out about anyone to see their options to replace Baynes' roster spot.

[cd98]

We need a back up 3 and Beasley would come cheap. Yes, his D sucks, but he can shoot the 3, which is the most important skill in the Spurs offense. Buy out Daye and give the roster spot to Beasley.

[FromWayDowntown]

I doubt the "working out" part of this has much to do with what Beasley can do on the basketball court and much more to do with assessing how Beasley interacts with coaches and certain players.

While I doubt that this is much more than due diligence and won't ever amount to anything, it wouldn't be unheard of for a high talent player to find a role with a team loaded with consummate professionals and to overcome a dubious past in that environment. I don't think Beasley is that guy, frankly, but if there's any chance that he might be and that his talents can be put to good use without creating distractions, a look is at least worth the effort.

[lmbebo]

Spurs always work out players before training camp to evaluate them in case injuries or situations arise later in the year. 2 years ago they worked out T-mac before training camp. They ended up signing him once they banished Stephen Jackson.

Don't expect the signing, its just Spurs doing homework on players they keep in there rolodex.

[ducks]

Yahoo Sources: With an open roster spot, San Antonio's working out an intriguing free agent: Michael Beasley. http://yhoo.it/1Dk6U6L

[spurraider21]

:lobt2:

[ginobilized]

Very intriguing. He showed some flashes of skill in the Game 5 beatdown.
Probably due diligence. Really makes me wonder what the story is with Baynes and if Ayres is on the way out.
The latter might be wishful thinking.

[DrSteffo]

LOL

[Chinook]

Rather have him than Allen. But I'd probably rather have Franklin if the team isn't going to keep four PGs or four Cs.

[Mugen]

crofl

[NASpurs]

I'll take him just for some drama in another uneventful 55+ season.

[Seventyniner]

Interesting but mostly irrelevant.

I read somewhere about an elite defense primarily needing two elite defenders, but the defensive abilities of the other three weren't nearly as important. An offense-only combo forward is definitely a departure for the current roster.

I could see Beasley being potentially useful against the Thunder. They don't have enough offensive threats for the Spurs to need 5 or even 4 above-average defenders on the court at all times.

[mudyez]

Lets put it this way:
For about 3 minutes I believed the "Rodman talking with ISIS" satire.
I didn't believe this one here a single second!

Just a thought, but could he be any worse a defender than our current back up to Kawhi, Daye?

Quit trolling bruh.

[illusioNtEk]

he is very under rated.....

Pop can transform him into a great Elite Player

[Raven]

:lol

[ceperez]

Wait.....are the Spurs looking for a backup center? Shouldn't the Spurs be working out Andray Blatche?

[Mnky]

Very intriguing. He showed some flashes of skill in the Game 5 beatdown.
Probably due diligence.


Yea, he showed hussle and the ability to score. Made a few mistakes on D right away as well though. You could certainly do worse than athletic guard, who can put up points.

Spurs have turned much less into much more.

+1.
Great energy, fearlesness, agressivity. Was basically the second best heat player after Bron, TBH.

[cd98]

Looks like last Roster spot is for Ayon. Maybe a Daye buyout?

[SupremeGuy]

He would be a great backup 3 for Kawhi, tbh. I've always thought he was underrated. If he buys into the Spurs culture, he could shape into a pretty good player.

[illusioNtEk]

alot of people here laughing but he can truly become and elite player.... we must give him a chance and see if POP can change him

[td4mvp2k]

Lmao @ daye still on the team

[ceperez]

alot of people here laughing but he can truly become and elite player.... we must give him a chance and see if POP can change him

Well, wasn't he a #2 pick? A lot of folks must have seen some talent in him.

[Poolboy5623]

Don't the Spurs normally workout everyone, and their mother, this time of year??

[Steve-O-Matic]

Umm, no, Michael Beasley can no longer "truly become (an) elite player," that is a patently absurd suggestion. At best, if everything goes right, he can be a serviceable scoring backup on a good team. I have no problem if the Spurs choose to roll the dice, but to say that they "must" do so is as equally ridiculous as the elite player comment.

[SupremeGuy]

Lmao @ daye still on the teamAnd Errors...

[td4mvp2k]

And Errors...ayres will be needed with no baynes tbh

[SupremeGuy]

ayres will be needed with no baynes tbh:cry don't leave us Big Banger :cry

[Budkin]

No thanks.

[SupremeGuy]

You guys are crazy, Beasley is dumb as fuck but he can ball.

[Malik Hairston]

:lol I can't believe there are still people that believe in Beasley, tbh..

The Lebron Heat had similar principles to the Spurs, their style was based on efficient shot attempts and a great defensive system..Beasley couldn't crack their rotation, despite having virtually no SF/PF competition on the roster outside of Lebron(he couldn't even play over 40-year old Rashard Lewis and severely past-prime Battier), on a team that was in desperate need of athleticism and shot creators..

The Spurs can turn players like Danny Green and Bruce Bowen(players that are limited in isolation offensive skills) into elite role players by emphasizing their defensive skills and outside shooting, but they cannot magically increase the IQ of a moron like Michael Beasley:lol..

[SupremeGuy]

Free Beasley :cry

[Baam]

Beasley is better than Bonner tbh. Would be a nice backup PF if Boris starts.

[exstatic]

Looks like last Roster spot is for Ayon. Maybe a Daye buyout?

Or a bluff to get Baynes off his ass to sign that QO?

[exstatic]

This. I saw a tweet today that said if Pop could re-claim Beasley, he should replace West on the NBA logo.

[Captivus]

Interesting...not sure this is what the Spurs need now, which is, IMO, replacing Mills.

[TheyCallMePro]

Beasely is a thug and a bad basketball player and there's no reason to elaborate further.

I'm a die-hard Spurs fan I'd be hard-pressed to root for my Spurs if they signed Beasely. It'd be a bad signing all the way around, just like it was for the Heat last year. 100% against it.

[baseline bum]

Beasley is almost as bad a #2 pick as Thabeet. Let someone else try to change a hoe into a housewife.

[AFBlue]

He's pretty much the anti-Spur...lazy, entitled, immature, low BBIQ, no defense. You know, the antithesis of everything the Spurs look for in a player.

[100%duncan]

We are in need of wings but Id rather not with him

[Mark in Austin]

Beasley is almost as bad a #2 pick as Thabeet. Let someone else try to change a hoe into a housewife.

:lol I am actually in favor of recreational weed legalization. But damn Beasley has smoked half his brain away. No way he can grasp the Spurs system with what he has left.

[manufan10]

yep, but an incredible talent

[AFBlue]

yep, but an incredible talent

Stretch. I would say he's a gifted scorer and good athlete. But, if he were an incredible talent he wouldn't be jobless.

[Splits]

Joke of a player. Perfect fit for the Clippers. Book it.

[Chillen]

If he's cleaned up a bit and is ready to be serious and help this team, he's only 25, if he's cheap sign him it could pay off if Pop can transform him into an elite player.

[exstatic]

Stretch. I would say he's a gifted scorer and good athlete. But, if he were an incredible talent he wouldn't be jobless.

Talent won't keep you in a job. The right of ways of the NBA highway are littered with talented busts, because they wouldn't do the work.

[iManu]

I saw him dominate in college. He should be an elite player.

It will never happen unless he talks to people through a translator.

[Dex]

Double-B, summing it up succinctly as always. :tu

[HI-FI]

Rather have him than Allen. But I'd probably rather have Franklin if the team isn't going to keep four PGs or four Cs.
this. I'm more against them getting Allen than Beasley. It's possible it could work.

You sir are dead on 100% there. LOL at an elite player, I can't believe anyone would still think that. On a bad team starting a 17PPG guy shooting 43% maybe? YES, but an elite player? NO.

[spursparker9]

Might as well sign Captain Jack

[SpurSwag]

I actually definitely think he's worth working out and, if he's matured and is willing to buy into our system, should make the team. He gives us a dynamic we haven't ever had that could be really useful against a team like the Thunder that plays 2 big men. He's a legit PF at 6'9 235 and has improved his 3 point shooting a lot, while still being a good finisher and he can rebound. Worth giving him a shot if he proves he deserves it imo

Beasly is an SF right?

[SpurSwag]

Beasly is an SF right?

He's a combo forward, but I think he's definitely closer to being a stretch 4 than being a 3. Being the poor defender he is, he can't really keep up with quicker small forwards and he's been used as a stretch 4 his last couple stops.

[alfahdlan]

So, if this happens:
PG - PARKER, MILLS, JOSEPH
SG - GREEN, GINOBILI, BELINELLI (all 3 specialists)
SF - LEONARD, BEASLEY, ANDERSON
PF - DIAW, BONNER, DAYE (ALL STRETCH 4s)
C - DUNCAN, SPLITTER, AYRES

more or less ten respectable 3 point shooters
5 penetrators in parker, joseph, ginobili, leonard
post-up by TD and Diaw
can play big with anderson as PG
with a behave beasley, this line-up is formidable

[spurspokesman]

Meh

[mkurts]

He will actually be more useful than Ayres. ie. Catch a basketball

[G-Nob]

I doubt the "working out" part of this has much to do with what Beasley can do on the basketball court and much more to do with assessing how Beasley interacts with coaches and certain players.

I agree, however, there is an awful lot of time consumption on everyone's part to put a player through a formal workout. There are other ways to assess character and cohesion with personnel. The Spurs don't ever do anything without having multiple reasons for doing so. I'm guessing the reasons are 1. for future roster consideration 2. character evaluation and 3. not saying the 15th spot is coveted, but this may also be a message to Baynes and his agent they're ready to move on.

[illusioNtEk]

BEASLEY has amazing ball handling skills for a big man, he can play Guard, Forward, and Power Forward

[ceperez]

BEASLEY has amazing ball handling skills for a big man, he can play Guard, Forward, and Power Forward

Maybe the Spurs need to sign up some head-cases to balance out the lineup. Let's get Beasly and Blatche for the 14th and 15th man.

[benefactor]

:lol all of you.

Working out Beasley is a complete waste of time. Austin Daye has a better shot at panning out.

[szkorhetz]

So much hate on this guy, while 85% of spurstalk would love to get Amir Johson or Thaddeus Young. Beasley is a guy who can do a lot of offense for himself what we obviously lack other than Parker. I am not saying he is will save this team or anything but I believe that Diaw will permanently start next to Tim and I would love the give the remaining mins in PF for Beasley, much more than for Bonner. Low risk, high reward.
This team is still amazingly thin in big guys. There is a huge gap after TD, TS, Diaw we could hide this year because we didn't have any serious injury. Do you guys believe we would have a chance against OKC or Miami if one of them is out? No way! I mean, we have to do everything to close the gap between the big three and the rest of the bigmen and Beasley could play alongside both Duncan and Splitter.

My prefered big man rotation next year would be:
PF: Diaw(28),Beasley(12), Bonner(8)
C: Duncan(22), Splitter(24), Ayers(2)

Don't call me crazy but right now Beasley is the best in the market, if we are looking for a potential fourth big with range.

[anakha]

If the Spurs have to rely on Beasley against Miami or Oklahoma City, they're screwed anyway.

No one is saying Beasley is a scrub. He's got the talent, but he lacks so much discipline and IQ. The dude couldn't even beat out Rashard fucking Lewis and Shane Battier in Miami's rotation. What makes you think he would do better in the Spurs system with a hard ass like Pop?!

[Dex]

If the Spurs have to rely on Beasley against Miami or Oklahoma City, they're screwed anyway.

Eh, I don't view it as that kind of signing. More of a prospect signing, despite the fact that Beasley has been around the league for a while.

The Spurs obviously shouldn't ever have to depend on the 15th guy on the roster. They may, however, be able to develop him into a guy who is worth being the 12th guy, or 10th guy, or 8th guy.

Beasley has talent, but the problem has always been his head. Like many have said, the Spurs are about as disciplined a team as you are going to come across, so maybe they could tame him. Then again, they couldn't tame Stephen Jackson.

Personally, I just don't really seem to like the guy, so my gut says pass.

[szkorhetz]

[Malik Hairston]

:lol if people are in favour of signing Beasley because he's better than Ayres and Bonner, that's awful logic..

So you want to use the 12th man spot on a headcase that doesn't fit the Spurs locker room, at all, and could potentially cause distractions? Awful logic:lol..

This isn't just a matter of off-court problems, it's the reality that Beasley just isn't a good NBA basketball player..this isn't 2008-2010, where he still had a ton of potential..he has been on several teams, we have seen his production, he's a net negative player..his on/off metrics from the past few seasons are in the bottom tier of the entire league IIRC..

Michael Beasley has 1 standout skill as a basketball player: isolation offense

In case people haven't noticed yet, the NBA is moving away from isolation basketball..teams are progressively adapting their styles to a ball movement + defense approach(3 of the top 4 teams in the NBA last year leading the way..Spurs, Heat, Clippers)..

According to rapm numbers, Michael Beasley literally has never had a net positive offensive impact on his team's performance:lol..

He can't pass, can't play defense and has a low basketball IQ..what a great fit he would be with the Spurs:lol..

[Malik Hairston]

A potential headcase that would be worth signing is Blatche, for example..

He has question marks both on and off the court, but he has actually displayed the ability to make a significant, positive impact on playoff teams, unlike a scrub like Beasley..

[Chinook]

Yeah. Blatche can fill a pretty big need right now, and especially in 2015. I wanted the team to spend the MLE to get him on a long-term deal, and I don't think it makes sense to waste time with relative scrubs like Baynes and Ayon (and all the camp workouts the team has had).

[timtonymanu]

I was a Bonner hater during the dark years of the Duncan era but even he has become underrated to Spurs fans in the Spurs system

[Baam]

Beasley seems like a good guy with a weed problem while Blatche seems like a legit cancer. I may very well be wrong on that one but that's the vibe I get from them.

Beasley can score, you pair him with Splitter off the bench and you have a great pairing, Splitter's defense and passing and Beasley's offensive game and floor stretching ability.

Bonner started against the best team in the West, lets not forget, if you think it's cool to put all our chips on that again against a potentially healthy Ibaka then what can I say...

[Dex]

I was a Bonner hater during the dark years of the Duncan era but even he has become underrated to Spurs fans in the Spurs system

It's been said a thousand times before, but...Pop finally figured out how to use him, and that wasn't as our third big.

[timtonymanu]

It's been said a thousand times before, but...Pop finally figured out how to use him, and that wasn't as our third big.

Indeed. I understand if fans still have a grudge against Bonner, but he hasn't hurt the Spurs since 2012 when Pop still didn't trust Splitter and when Diaw was new to the team.

[dabom]

I'd take him.

[wildcardX]

BEASLEY has amazing ball handling skills for a big man, he can play Guard, Forward, and Power Forward

Ok, I have not really seen Beasley play. He's a head case with many off court issues but besides that, what in his game is keeping teams from picking him up? I know he is a good scorer with poor defense but so is James Harden among many other guys. Is it just the off court stuff or is his game only about scoring points and nothing else?

[wildcardX]

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Beasley could be the next Diaw level bargain. Despite the way Sjax turned out, i think his personality had a tremendous positive impact on the Spurs team mental toughness. I like the Spurs having a swagger. If Baynes was that guy, and he's seriously considering bolting. How much of a problem is weed? I think there's gotta be something left of that #2 overall caliber potential, and i don't know any team that could better squeeze it out of him.

Everybody so far has thought that. Three teams thought that. He busted out each time.

Diaw is a bad analogy. He had great times in his career before it went bad in Charlotte. Jack is probably an analogy you don't want to use. Both of his tenures here ended badly.

Beasley is a burner who realized about 35% of his talent because he's lazy and doesn't put in the work, and doesn't try on defense.

[Chillen]

Thinking it over going to have to leave this up to the Spurs organization, if they feel he can contribute and help this team win, that's all that matters. Sign him. if he turns out to be lazy or what not, waive him. Low risk deal imo. Plus Pop will get into his face good and make him work his butt off on the court.

[TheCerebral1]

He would be an upgrade over Ayres and Daye. Which is funny.

[Maddog]

I would agree, trust them- I would be in favor- he's got talent-he's that age when some people with issues start to mature and if he doesn't- waive him. My only concern is that with Baynes probably leaving- and even with him- the spurs are thin at Center. Tim, Splitter is pretty much it- and you sure don't wan't to run them weary over the season.

[Dex]

Funny read. The best part:



After two months of Beasley in silver and black, Tim Duncan is smoking weed because, “Fuck it. It’s my last season. Five rings is plenty. I’m a Hall of Fame lock. And the money’s guaranteed either way.”

Which works out well, because Tiago Splitter will conclude he’s far too handsome to play second fiddle to a 38-year-old. It’s Tiago’s team now.

Tony Parker goes on another sexting rampage.

After three seasons spent very quietly going about his business, Kawhi Leonard reveals his inner monologue. And lemme tell you something: It is NOT safe for work.

Beas makes an innocuous remark about Manu Ginobili’s bald spot … which Manu never realized was there. The team made a point of never discussing the spot in front of Manu, because they knew the reaction wouldn’t be pretty. This was the Spurs’ version of Fight Club, and Beasley broke the first rule. The ensuing bout with self-consciousness and awkwardly donned headbands destroys Manu free-wheeling spirit.

Matt Bonner suddenly resents being known as some wise-cracking, sandwich-loving, three-point specialist ginger, and will demand to become the No. 1 option. (As you probably guessed, that doesn’t go over well with Tiago.)

Speaking of sandwiches, and food … let’s just say Boris Diaw’s blood type is about to become “gravy.”

I have no idea what Cory Joseph’s personality is like, but believe me, you’re about to find out.

In the meantime, all the grapes at Pop’s vineyard suddenly wither up and die. Coincidence? I think not.

He's pretty much the anti-Spur...lazy, entitled, immature, low BBIQ, no defense. You know, the antithesis of everything the Spurs look for in a player.

But he sure looked good in the NBA finals...

Would he be any worse than Ayres ? Can he catch a basketball as the 15th man ?

The worst ranked player in ESPN's player rankings is light years better than Errors. Ayres is pushing 30 and still can't do what children do on a daily basis :lol

True. He was dope head during his time in the NBA. But the guy had the potential to be a top 10 player in the league and blew it on his drug addiction. But if he has finally grown up. Beasley is a really good player to have on a roster. Still has the potential to be a 20 10 guy.

But the Spurs have LMA, so no need for him at this point. But I wouldn't mind if the Spurs looked at him this offseason to potentially replace West. He has had some pretty solid numbers since joining the rockets. Nearly 16 ppg and 6 rpg in only 23 Minutes.

True. He was dope head during his time in the NBA. But the guy had the potential to be a top 10 player in the league and blew it on his drug addiction. But if he has finally grown up. Beasley is a really good player to have on a roster. Still has the potential to be a 20 10 guy.

But the Spurs have LMA, so no need for him at this point. But I wouldn't mind if the Spurs looked at him this offseason to potentially replace West. He has had some pretty solid numbers since joining the rockets. Nearly 16 ppg and 6 rpg in only 23 Minutes.

His individual and team defensive numbers are poop when on the floor, though.

He'll start sucking soon enough. A birds gotta fly.

Maybe his time in China straightened him out a bit. Probably doesn't want to go back there.

Forgot about this thread :lol

He was killing it in China, not surprising that his hot streak is carrying over
