In fact, I am penciling Miami in for the East playoffs - easy. I think you are right about Beasley, though, that there will be a time where he must be the best on the team, a la Kobe, but trust that it won't be until AFTER he signs his big contract. Beasley will be a model player...put up massive numbers...and co-exist just fine with D-Wade and Marion (or whoever they trade Marion for) for the next couple seasons. Beasley and Durant are different players. Durant is essentially a super-tall shooting guard while Beasley is an undersized power forward. He can impose his will on a game more so than Durant ever could and his rebounding skills are insane. Anyone that watched Durant closely in college knew that his rebounding wouldn't translate to the next level...and sure enough... Beasley biggest problem will be his mouth - write that down. He will something stupid many many times this season - that I can all-but-guarantee. I think they will be fine. In fact, I am penciling Miami in for the East playoffs – easy.
