It is a non-guaranteed deal, but if Beasley makes the team, he will make $1.027 million. The Heat drafted Beasley with the No. 2 overall pick in 2008 but traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the summer of 2010 to clear cap space for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh,
The Suns waived Beasley on Sept. 3 after he was arrested on suspicion of drug possession
