Winderman: Beasley Longshot to Join HEAT

Q: Ira, (Winderman) I saw you said they gave Michael Beasley’s No. 8 to Shawne Williams. So I guess they’re not going to retire (Michael) Bease’s number? (OK, so it means he’s not coming back?) — Henrique.

(Ira) Winderman: An adjustment still could be made if Beasley is brought back, but that is an increasing longshot. But it’s also not as if the Heat are mass producing Shawne Williams jerseys at this stage, either. While Beasley appears to be in the rearview mirror, the Heat still seems to be lacking on the wing, where the current options are Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, Danny Granger, Reggie Williams, James Ennis and Tyler Johnson. There simply is not a lot of one-on-one creativity there, no one, really, other that Wade who can score off the dribble.
