While the Heat could certainly use more depth and shooting as they get ready to make a playoff run, it’s clear that they don’t think Beasley is the guy. While he had nice numbers overseas, the Heat have brought him back before and didn’t quite get the production that they wanted out of him.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Heat gauge what else is available before the deadline on March 1, the last day of playoff eligibility for players on the open market. The good news is that Goran Dragic is starting to hit his stride and the Heat’s play has taken off underneath him.
Every team is always looking for more help, but the Heat aren’t looking in Michael Beasley’s direction at the moment.
