Always nice when you have perhaps the most revered columnist in South Florida on your side. Dave Hyde telling Michael Beasley to pack his bags and enjoy Toronto.
Here's the part that all of the people in the "keep Beasley and pair him with Bosh" camp are missing. Chris Bosh is probably not going to be in Toronto in six months. So if the Heat don't make a deal, then Toronto would feasibly deal him to another contender/up and coming team that would become the instant favorites to re-sign him in 2010. So while there's still a myriad of free agent options in 2010, Chris Bosh is essentially a free agent in 2009. Are the Heat players or not?
ESPN's Buster Olney suggests a new no-tolerance steroid policy: One positive test, and you are out. Finito. Like gambling. My opinion is that's a dangerous path to walk on because you can't convince me that there aren't occasional errors in a testing policy that goes through modifications year after year. But for those who are bothered by pervasive juicing(don't count me in that group), what's in place is not good enough. And frankly, if Congress is going to waste everyone's time trying to retroactively slap steroid user tags on baseball players, perhaps they can tighten the screws on Bud Selig, and put the pressure on the commish to resign.
Houston Chronicle's Richard Justice calls conspiracy on the NBA for the lack of a Kobe Bryant suspension, even before the non-suspension happens. See my thoughts above.
