He averaged 20 points a game a few years ago, I'd say he's pretty damn talented. Headcase yes though.

No doubt but to say he isn't good is foolish as some on here have said. If anyone can get him straightened out it's Pat Riley, Lebron and DWade in Miami. Plus winning does good things for you.

Count me in the foolish bucket. I think he's trash, and has regressed over the years in the NBA.

I respect your opinion, I think the off the court and mental part has hurt the on court production.

Detroit and Cleveland could very well be playoff teams again. That'll be nice

I may be wrong, cause they have good individuals. But I hate Detroits team. Bunch of selfish chuckers who have never won anything. I think that team implodes.

I still think Detroit really fucked up by not drafting Trey Burke.

I think Beas will be fine in Miami, those championship atmospheres can really change a player's behavior. If he keeps his head on straight, they ain't losin.

Beas isn't going to make or break whether the Heat get by a greatly improved* Pacers again.




*getting Granger back and adding Luis Scola, CJ Watson, Chris Copeland, and Solomon Hill while shredding themselves of Hansbrough, Augustin, Gerald Green and Pendergraph

A healthy Wade and Oden likely will.

A healthy Oden will likely be the final sign of the apocalypse.

A healthy Wade AND Oden likely points to Lebron being satan and wanting 1 more ring before destroying the planet.

We'll see. I don't even have to address Oden's health, and I don't think Wade will ever be fully healthy when it comes to playoff time anyways. The only way Wade is fully healthy is if he barely plays in the regular season, and that won't happen.

That's all besides the point though. My point was that Trueblue's insinuation that "if Beas gets his head on straight the Heat absolutely aren't losing" is so far from the truth it's absurd.

It depends on his role, I'm not sure he's going to see a lot of minutes anyway. Not over Shane Battier certainly even though he's getting older.

Regulaf season or entire season?
Is he healthy now? He didn't have any offseason surgery that I missed because IDGAF about him right? If he's healthy now, you'd have to figure he can at least play til January before something trivial acts up and he starts missing every 4th or 5th game for whatever is sore on him that day. But they'll have an additional 16-20 playoff games.
