In today's look into Heat rumors and news, Michael Beasley's time with the Miami Heat is most likely done after a disappointing 2013-14 NBA season.
Per Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, "the summer should be an interesting one for former second overall pick Michael Beasley, who is a free agent and is not likely to return to Miami after a disappointing second stint with the club. NBA sources said James was not pleased with Beasley’s focus and he lost the confidence of coach Erik Spoelstra shortly into the season."
Beasley's stock with be relatively low going into the open market, with his best chance at sticking with a team most likely to come on a one-year, low risk deal.
One sequence which perhaps sticks out as emblematic of Beasley's time in Miami happened in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. After flying in for a tip-dunk on one end, Beasley got completely out of sync on defense going back - allowing Boris Diaw to get wide open for a nothing-but-net three.
Those sorts of mental lapses seem to be what soured Spoelstra on Beasley, and what will send him packing this offseason.
