Beasley has been officially waived:

Pop should definitively call him to know what his goals are. If he is interested in making the sacrifices to put back his career on track, then Spurs should sign him. A motivated Beasley, willing to be coached and putting the necessary efforts on the court, would be a great player. It's unlikely he is in that mindset because he has earned $35M in the NBA without that dedication, but you never know. Worth a phone call.
Sixers will have 5 draft pick in 2014. I don't see them trading their own second round pick for Mills but they have late second round picks coming from Houston and Brooklyn. One of them could be used on Mills.
Now, Mills traded away for a mid to late second round pick won't do much for Spurs and that's why they could wait to have a replacement for Mills before doing it.
I'm on board. It can't hurt. I know this is speculating, but I can't see any team that isn't contending offering him any money given his reputation. Some contenders may give it a shot, but I'm guessing most don't have the money for more than a minimum contract. Moreover, not many have small forward needs. Miami doesn't really need him given they have Lebron and Battier. So there is a shot he'd take the minimum.
Realgm.com scout says he shouldn't be playing small forward; his skill set is a power forward. Maybe this works in a small ball situation with Kawhi playing the three (instead of the 4) and Beasley playing the 4. I think it could work. Of course, speculating is the easy part, getting the guy to sign is something entirely different.
I was wondering when Pietrus' name would come up.
Pietrus? I'll take it...
There were reports 3 weeks ago on some French website that Spurs, Lakers and Bulls were the 3 teams interested in Pietrus. I didn't posted it here because it sounded more like speculations but there might have finally been some inside news behind that.
I'm not interest in Pietrus. He is too small and too much injury prone.
And some players like Ivey, Childress or James Johnson might also be at that mini-camp.
I'm a big Pietrus fan. He was awesome for the Magic a few years ago.
Mike Bibby? Please tell me he is trying out for an assistant coach spot.
Pietrus has been pretty below average the last few years. This just speaks to the dearth of talent at the three spot. Boy was that Kawhi for Hill trade huge for us. Image how hard it would be to get a three in free agency.

Mike Bibby? really? wow. what is Jason Williams doing theses days?
Beasley officially released. Prolly wont touch him with a ten foot pole.....
Michael Pietrus and Michael beasley, would be very happy if the Spurs hire them, would be a much better offseason than expected, I think beasley may still have a chance to live up to their potential or almost a coach like Pop
I'm very interested in Beasley, Spurs should give him a call and have a serious chat with him about his future as a player.
Can't imagine Bibby is anything more than just a training camp invite
Re: Jason Williams lol
Beasley a spur...n pietrus iz sh*t...
A positive signs regarding Beasley is that he reportedly agreed to a buyout of $7M while he had $9M guaranteed.
David Pick @IAmDPick
Former NJ/DAL/BOS power forward Sean Williams has inked a one-year deal with Turkish-League newcomer Torku Selcuk.
i'm optimistic about beasley. i think he's worth a shot.
I think he is too but I suspect the Lakers will be all over him and his dumbass will be caught up in the bright lights of LA and will take a min with them.
Well looks like we got some info to keep us busy for the next couple of weeks
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo
Lakers have signed free agent forward Shawne Williams.
Fiction, fiction, fiction. Beasley or Pietrus maybe though.
Quentin Richardson waived, could the Spurs use him? News here
