Ideal scenario, Beasley gives enough decent burn to give someone like Dotson enough time to get a little development. While upping some limited trade value, maybe, HUGE MAYBE, Beasley can be traded at the deadline for something like a low 2nd round pick. Or a Euro Stash player. Opening up the minutes for a guy like Dotson, who needs some seasoning.

Average scenario, he helps a little, hurts a little, doesn't move the needle at all for anything, is just a warm body. Frats would call this a "slump buster"

Worst scenario, he's injured and a locker room idiot, then gets cut. Wasting everyone's MFing time.

In any of these, there is no long term commitment, there is no pressure to play him because of his contract ( THJr might not be so immune to this...) and he's entirely disposable.

The downside might occur if he starts to eat minutes while not moving the needle in lieu of someone like Dotson, who might be able to handle a little more burn otherwise.

It's low risk/low reward. But sometimes a team needs a few of these sprinkled into the mix. He could surprise, but odds are, he's exactly what he's proven to be.

His game really reminds me of another super talent who never reached his full potential. Derrick Coleman .

oh yeah, D will, the guy we let walk and didn't think twice about calling him back, he was such a great success story for the lottery bond roster he was on...yess, lance, a throw in during the jr and shump trade, I love his story too, averaging about 48 games per season, his impact has been golden, can't forget sahsa, he was the best bench player money could buy, and pony tail man admundson, I was crushed when we didn't bring him back, probably why we didn't make the playoffs..

did I miss anyone, help me out here?

but on a serious note, I do like the beasly signing
