Michael Beasley once looked like one of the most promising young players in the NBA for the Miami Heat.
That was a long time ago.
Now, he's a member of the Big3 league put on by Ice Cube, and Beasley is throwing a bit of a fit.
The expansion team in that league, Miami 305, just drafted Lance Stephenson. You know Stephenson, the former Pacers standout who antagonized LeBron James.
Well, turns out Beasley and Stephenson have quite the beef of late. They've even challenged one another to a lucrative 1-on-1 game.
And making things even more hilarious, Beasley is contemplating requesting a trade.
Yes, seriously, a trade request in a 3-on-3 league featuring a bunch of former NBA players.

Beasley apparently understands how to keep things interesting.
It'd be more amusing for fans to see if Beasley and Stephenson would pass the ball to one another on the court. It'd be tough not to in 3-on-3.
Would a Beasley deal be considered a blockbuster in that league? Are there draft picks that can be traded?
There are definitely a lot of questions still to be answered in one of the pettiest, weirdest trade requests you'll ever see.
