Well I wanted him, but that's way too much. Oh well. It ain't like they're using the cap space on a stud anytime soon.

Heard it on SportsCenter if anyone wants to confirm via twitter. I don't use twitter
$6 mil/yr seems fine to me for a guy that will be asked to score 15-20 ppg.
Let the Beasley rehabilitation begin. 3 years isn't that bad either.
I'm still hoping for a Lance Blanks statement about how Michael Beasley is a great human being who will represent the organization as a leader with class.
Riley and Adelman both gave up on this guy. Good luck on the rehab, but I don't see this ending well.
Yep. I would imagine that there might be a team option in year 3 too.
It's definitely coming.
I'm just glad we didn't sign him for any longer than 3 years. On a scale of horrible contracts, this doesn't approach Boris Diaw status at all.
so now the Suns are giving $6 million a year to a guy who stays in trouble and are looking to give one of the most injury prone players in the NBA over the last 3 years a max contract?
Beasley's off the court issues
On September 3, 2008, at the NBA's Rookie Transition Program, Beasley was involved in an incident along with fellow rookies Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur. Police responded to the hotel room of Chalmers and Arthur following a fire alarm at 2 am and claimed that the room smelled strongly of burning marijuana, but none was found and no charges were filed. Chalmers and Arthur were excused from the camp because of the incident and were later fined $20,000 each for missing the rookie camp, but were not fined or suspended for any drug-related violations. Both later denied any involvement with marijuana. Originally, ESPN reported that Beasley was also present in the room, but was not asked to leave camp. The story was later updated and any mention of Beasley was removed from the article.
On September 18, 2008, Beasley was fined $50,000 by the league for his involvement in the incident after Pat Riley forced him to confess to league officials that he had slipped out the door when the police arrived.
On August 24, 2009, Beasley reportedly checked into a Houston rehab center, just days after he posted pictures of himself on his Twitter page with what some have speculated to be marijuana in the background. It is unknown if the rehab was drug related; as a report states, he was receiving counseling for stress-related issues.
On June 26, 2011, Beasley was driving in the Minneapolis suburb of Minnetonka when he was pulled over by a policeman for speeding. The policeman noticed that the car smelled of a strong odor of marijuana. The officer allegedly found marijuana in a plastic bag under the front passenger seat. However, Beasley said the marijuana was not his, but belonged to a friend whom he had just dropped off. Beasley was consequently fined and ticketed.
Later in 2011, Beasley was on a NYC streetball tour with good friend and all-star Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant. On August 4, 2011, Beasley was participating in a streetball game at Dyckman Park in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City. In the game Beasley played on the 914 team (Green Shirts) and Durant on Team Nike (Black Shirts). Beasley was being heckled throughout the game. Deciding he had enough while a member of the black team was shooting free throws, Beasley walked up to the heckling fan. They argued and exchanged words, then Beasley gave the fan the open hand, pushing his face away.
OMG Nice contract Suns. lmao
Son, Hope Solo looking fine there
He's making less than Landry Fields, so I'm OK with this.
Suns in full tank mode huh
As if this day couldnt get any worse.
Beasley doesnt do anything except shoot the ball and smoke weed.
the Suns.
I don't understand why people are laughing at the Sun's for this signing. 6mil is not THAT bad and Beasley has talent. If he gets his mind right, he will earn that salary...
People just blindly laugh at everything the Suns do at this point. Today was a good day for the Suns. If they can get Gordon then this is a good off season.
son real talk the Beasley signing isn't a bad pickup at all if he can stay out of trouble. however giving Eric Gordon a max contract will up any franchise for at least the next two seasons before being able to unload him in the final year or so. even with the reputation of Phoenix's medical staff I think it will be a stretch to get more than 50 games per season out of Gordon at this point and count your blessings if you can get that out of him.
if he can put the weed down and focus on his game this can be a good pick up for the suns.
Son I agree Gordon is a risk but the reward is worth the risk. Gordon is the closest to a "cornerstone" type the Suns can get.
I think Gentry is the perfect coach for Beasley. With the amount of raw knucklehead idiots Phoenix is picking up, they need to make sure Gentry is happy and committed to Phoenix.
Nobody is looking at the fact they got younger, solid pieces to build and didn't take or give any ridiculous contracts. Beasley if focused is better that Grant Hill at this point. Tbh, I wanted him back in Miami.
I've always wanted Beasley at the right price. But this is like $20 mil gone now with Gordon and Beasley (not counting Lopez). What's left for a PG? A couple mil?
Is Beasley gonna play PF? He doesn't make a good SF.
