Michael Beasley leaves Grizzlies for China

[Uncle Phil 36]

Michael Beasley signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Grizzlies, trying to earn Memphis’ final roster spot.

He’s given up that dream.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:

When it comes to No. 2 pick busts, Darko Milicic played more seasons (10) than Beasley (6) before falling out of the NBA. Beasley, 25, could still return to the league while Darko is surely done, but that’s still not a good look.

Maybe Beasley got more money to go to China and this isn’t a sign of defeat. However, his Chinese salary won’t be pure profit.

Beasley was set to make $777,778 this season from the Suns, who released him last year. Phoenix can reduce its payments by half the difference between Beasley’s Chinese salary and $507,336 (NBA rookie minimum).

And just like that one of my GOATs vanishes

So much offensive talent if he wasn't such a retard he would've been a HOFer

Dude's only 25 too...crazy

 

[William F. Russell]

This dude's career has been an epic joke.

At Kansas, he was such a general. One of the GOAT college players. He had so much potential (and so many opportunities) to be a superstar in the NBA.


Sad to see his career go this way.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

he was such a beast in college

How is he going to get his herb now?

You never know, this might be a blessing in disguise for him. He might go to China & get his mind right & see the wasted potential that he had.

I doubt it, in China he'll be able to dominate while giving minimal effort.

China got money too. Basketball career aint over until you're broke, 30+ or injured and looking for an analyst job

How is he going to get his herb now?

he has the asian plug now fresh off the boat

Smart decision. He will make more money in China and only play like 40 games tops. Look at Marbuy there he is a star. If mike stays focus he can do some good things over there.
