Beasley got traded for little of nothing and he would be doing better then that forward they have in Chris Bosh! Beasley was drafted to a winning organization unlike other first round draft picks who was dealt to bad teams and was suited for greatness from the jump because the ball was placed in their hands. Beasley avg. 15 pts and 6 rebounds a game on a team that had its star player. Scoring 15 points a game isnt the easiest thing to do in the NBA. Beasley is playing like he have a point to prove that he is not a bust and that he do belong! Miami would be a hell of a better team with him! He’s making his name in Minnesota and we havent seen nothing yet! Beasley against the world!

It wasn’t as much a 2nd overall for a 2nd rounder. It was Beasley for the cap space that would allow them to sign the third part of the big three, while still giving them money to go out and get Mike Miller and resign Udonis.

I love Mike, I miss him. Watching him during postgame shows talking about being in a wolfpack and howling was very entertaining, but he’ll ultimately be a great player on a bad team. He’ll never be able to lead his team deep in the playoffs as the center piece.

Without a doubt. A second overall for a second rounder? It might be David Khan’s saving grace, with Love performing well by getting rid of Jefferson, and Beasley playing well, this could be the kind of spark that gets Rubio to sign that contract.

If nothing else, Rubio demands a trade before he gets over here, and Khan trades NY for Felton.

Minnesota has been a surprise this year. At 4-9, they’re no Lakers, but they didn’t get their 4th win of the season last year until December 14th, they’re a full month ahead of schedule. The point of criticism would be that they’ve picked up wins against the Clippers, Kings, Knicks, and Bucks.

Whether or not it was the right call.. As one of the few remaining T-Wolves fans, a special thanks goes out to Pat Riley for letting him go for a measly 2nd rounder..
