MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—Moments after LeBron James(notes) told the world he was
headed to Miami, the Heat set to work to make way for the King.
A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press late Thursday
night that the Heat have agreed to send forward Michael Beasley(notes) to the
Timberwolves for Minnesota’s 2011 second-round pick and a swap of future
first-round picks. The person requested anonymity because the deal has not
been officially announced.
The Heat wanted to clear more cap room when James made his announcement
Thursday night that he was joining Dwyane Wade(notes) and Chris Bosh(notes).
The deal ensures that the Heat can pay all three stars and add some
supporting cast to make a run at the title.
Team president Pat Riley definitely has his work cut out for him in that
area. With Beasley gone, the Heat now have just one player—point guard Mario
Chalmers(notes)—officially on the roster. James, Bosh and Wade have yet to
sign their contracts.
Beasley was the No. 2 overall draft choice in 2008 but hasn’t lived up to
the billing yet. He averaged 14.8 points and 6.2 rebounds last season for the
Heat.
Beasley said often last season that he didn’t want to be traded, but people
close to him indicated that he never fully felt comfortable in Miami.
And he simply never clicked the way the Heat hoped, either.
His departure, which should be finalized on Friday, could open enough room
for the Heat to go out and address their most glaring need—a shooter. It’s
believed Mike Miller(notes) is at the top of Miami’s wish list, and his
acquisition would likely be supported by Wade, who has raved about Miller’s
play before.
Beasley’s playing time, especially at the end of games, was often a concern
and subject of incessant speculation. The Heat never were really sure what
position to use Beasley at, trying him at small forward, power forward and
even center. And his stint was marred by two rocky offseasons, first when he
was kicked out of the NBA rookie symposium and fined for rulebreaking, then
last summer when he received substance-abuse treatment at a facility in
Houston.
Before one game late last season, Beasley had John Legend’s song “I Can
Change” blaring in the locker room from his iPod, saying it was merely a
coincidence and not a hidden message.
“I know I can be a great player at this level,” Beasley said in an
interview with The AP during last season’s playoffs. “I’m just not showing
it yet. I don’t know why.”
Maybe a change of scenery will serve him well. He comes to a rebuilding
Timberwolves team that won just 15 games last season and hasn’t made the
playoffs since 2004.
The gamble is small on Minnesota’s part. The Wolves give up a second-round
pick and will swap first-rounders with Miami in an unspecified year down the
road to land a player who was neck-and-neck with Derrick Rose(notes) in the
running for the No. 1 overall pick just two years ago.
But Minnesota suddenly has a logjam at power forward with Al
Jefferson(notes), Kevin Love(notes) and Beasley. They also have agreed to
deals with center Darko Milicic(notes) and power forward/center Nikola
Pekovic(notes), who will come over from Greece.
That means it is highly likely that at least one of those players gets traded
before the season begins. Timberwolves president David Kahn has said the team
is considering all of its options to get things turned around as quickly as
possible.
“This time of year,” Kahn said earlier in the day, “everybody on our
roster is open for discussion.”
