    Michael Beasley says his marijuana issues are a thing of the past, and that he's ready to show the Phoenix Suns that their support for him is warranted.

    The 6-foot-10 forward signed a three-year, $18 million contract with Phoenix on Friday, then faced questions about his past head-on at a news conference.

    "I realize 10 minutes of feeling good is not really worth putting my life and my career and my legacy in jeopardy," he said, "so I'm confident to say that part of my career, that part of my life, is over and won't be coming back."

    In June 2011, Beasley was ticketed for possessing marijuana and speeding in a Minneapolis suburb. He also has acknowledged that while playing for Miami, he twice violated the NBA's drug policy and entered a treatment facility in 2009.

    Beasley credits working with former NBA player Norm Nixon for getting his priorities straight.
