Heat president Pat Riley shot down two rumors claiming that Michael Beasley isn't on the block and that signing three players to max-level contracts is a longshot. "I want to build a team, and it takes five guys to build a team, and whatever kind of room we created, it's to build a team," Riley stressed. "That's not going to happen," Riley said of trading Beasley. "We are not that desperate for room, to trade the second pick in the draft. "We want to build around him." http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...heat-draft-main-story-s062410,0,4878490.story
I happen to think Beasley is pretty good already and is going to get better. He's been starved for PT in Miami, perhaps because they don't like to play rookies much. I thought it insane that there were rumors that Miami would basically give him away for the cap space.
