Not a bad flyer. Why not?

Does that mean that Melo trade is imminent?
SocraticBallin22 @ 8/8/2017 3:28 PM
He is basically a Melo Lite type: volume scorer; doesn't do much else. Makes you wonder about Melo's status?

Didn't Begley say he thought Melo was going to go training camp with the Knicks on Hahn's show last week?

I like him, but why does this have to be about melo, he's a guy that can cover if KOQ or lance continue to play with great inconsistency

I can't believe that people still think a Houston trade is still in the works

We needed scoring off the bench and Beasley gives us just that. I do like the signing.

He and Melo are the same type of player playing the same position (volume scorers who play no defense or team ball)

He is a less talented Melo clone as far as game goes. That's the comparison. Huge underachiever in his NBA career. Don't dislike the signing on a 1 yr deal b/c we will need some scoring (especially if Melo is moved).

Awesome move --I wrote about this last year. His defense was so much better last year and he was playing awesome before he got hurt. New SF

Did I say that? Simply said they play the same position and do the same thing (similar skill set). Although Beasley is less talented. Draw your inferences from that.

08 draft, we had rose, the #1, now beasly the #2 overall

I know, right?
So basically Baker is twice the player as Beas cuz he is paid double. Right?

Had Anthony Randolph-14, and Courtney Lee-22 from that draft, too?

if our plan is Beasley + Andersen then we are definitely trying to tank

that said, I don't read any more into this than our recent history... Derrick Williams, Brandon Jennings, Michael Beasley--these guys kind of fit a pattern

jazz74 @ 8/8/2017 3:46 PM
this is strange though I don't mind. he could end up like derrick Williams who turned out to be a decent bench player for us. melo has to be moved because it would be a glut with him and lance Thomas.

he was wearing his Yankee hat, this was fortold not by briggs, but by the hat!!!

Baker and Beas hair club!!
