I would hate that move unless for vet minimum but you just know Olshey would give him MLE.

 

[Labinot41]

He's allready best friend with Nurkic

 

[BlazerWookee]

Ugh.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Sounds about right... I mean, at least he can score off the bench and take away ET playing time.

 

[Gronk Brady]

No thanks, the guy is a headcase... and to come to a city with legalized marijuana does not increase the chance he stays out of trouble

 

[riverman]

Beasley has been a grown up for the last few years...and he can hoop...he'd help us with bench scoring big time....at his pricetag, I don't see the downside....Pat Connaughton and Jake Layman are really nice guys, yeah.....Beasley would school either of them at bargain basement cost

 

[julius]

for league min, sure. If he takes Bill and Teds spots on the team.

 

[illmatic99]

He had some really big games last season as a stretch 4. I'd take him as a 15-20 mpg bench guy

And keep Meyers on the bench as a permanent towel waver until he's miraculously traded to another team.

Weed doesn't get you in trouble man.. Jesus...

Pretty much this.
Beasley > Baseball player & Layman.
Frankly my only concern is whats Beasley's head like?(does he want to win, or does he want to get paid?)
But many posters on this site have said in the past that Lillard is such a strong leader that he could keep DMC in check.
Is it really that far fetched that Lillard could keep Beasley in check as well?

The one thing I do like about Beasley, is he'd bring a toughness that Portland lacks.

As a league minimum guy, I'd take a flyer on him. IMO He's just as good as Aminu.

He's better offensively but not in Chief's league on defense

It'd also give us match-up flexibility as he can play the 3/4 spots.

He's a great 3pt shooter...his numbers would make him our 3rd best 3pt option..

 

[PHXBlazer1]

If he can have a Zach Randolph like career arc it could be a great pickup on the cheap..but I wouldn’t be too excited

 

[Rastapopoulos]

IMO He's just as good as Aminu.

That is certifiably insane.

 

[James lamphear]

Look at all the players that olshey has brought in or look at they all have something in common they all knows how to score the ball. Now Beasley if they sign him that will be the end of Davis tenure as a Blazer. They will move Zach backing up Nurk and Beasley backing up aminu.

 

[Propagandist]

If you could combine the two you'd have a pretty good player.

 

[BigGameDamian]

To bad we don't have 4 years 78 million to give him. I bet Neil would love to give Beasley that kind of a contract.

 

[julius]

Weed doesn't get you in trouble man.. Jesus...

well, if you're POC it can.

Spoiler

no I'm not being sarcastic

 

[Natebishop3]

This is exactly the kind of crap move that Neil would make.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If we get Beasley it means we're letting Ed Davis walk.

 

[dviss1]

That is certifiably insane.

Better mid range shooter. Better 3 point shooter. Better ballhandler. Better post game. Better BBIQ.

Aminu is a better defender and rebounder.

Lol. True. Just not in Oregon.

 

[Labinot41]

I guess the frontcourt would be Nurkic/Aminu/Collins/Beasley. Nurk and Aminu starting and Zach backing up Nurkic and beasley backing up Aminu. Neil said he want's Zach closer to the Basket

Are you guys just being sarcastic? Beasley is the exact guy that Olshey has avoided bringing in to the culture. In what world is a character type of a guy like Beasley someone Olshey would go after?

 

[theprunetang]

Beasley can score the ball. I will give him that. He did seem to turn his career around the past couple of seasons. He could be a good gunner off of the bench. Think of how D'Antoni would use him. He's like the 3/4 version of Gerald Green really.

 

[Scalma]

I’m all in on Beasley. I doubt it’ll happen though. I just can’t see Olshey going after him.
