Beasley was the number two overall selection of the project in 2008, but did not live up to billing yet. He averaged 14.8 points and 6.2 rebounds last season for the Heat.

Beasley said frequently last season that he did not want to be sold, but people close to him said that he never completely felt comfortable in Miami.

Maybe a change of scenery will serve him well. He came to restore Timberwolves team that won only 15 games last season and have not made the playoffs since 2004.

Play small part of Minnesota. Wolves give up the second round to select and swap first rounders in Miami in an uncertain year on the road to land the player’s neck and head with Derrick Rose in the management of number one overall to choose only two years ago.

But Minnesota sudden logjam at power forward with Al Jefferson, Kevin Love and Beasley. They also agreed to deals with center Darko Milicic and power forward / center Nikola Pekovic, who brought it from Greece.
