The Heat tendered second-round pick Jerome Beasley a required (non-guaranteed) offer so it could maintain the rights to the 6-10 Division II forward.

Beasley's agent, Michael Naiditch, is optimistic that the procedural non-guaranteed tender will soon be followed by a more permanent deal.

"I expect Jerome will be signed within 7-10 days and be with the Miami Heat this season," said Naiditch, who is seeking at least a one-year guaranteed deal with a second-year team option.

The last two Heat second-round picks, centers Ken Johnson and Ernest Brown, spent a season in Europe before landing guaranteed one-year deals. Both were eventually let go.
