Ira Winderman is reporting that the Heat have seen enough of Daequan Cook and Michael Beasley to offer them their rookie option. The move makes them the only two players receiving guaranteed money in 2010-11 at the moment.
If you're holding a vigil for a Wade/Bosh or James pairing, don't be crushed. Miami's getting these players on the cheap considering that someone has to play besides the duo next year, and the extension is only for a year. It was going to happen anyway, and especially with Beasley, a little boost just before the season couldn't hurt.
