A pair of former Miami Heat players found landing spots in NBA free agency Tuesday, with Michael Beasley signing with the New York Knicks and Briante Weber linked to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Beasley, selected at No. 2 by the Heat in the first round of the 2008 NBA draft, agreed to a one-year, $1.9 million veteran-minimum contract with the Knicks, after reportedly being offered $3 million to return to play in China, where he spent parts of the 2014-15 and '15-16 seasons.

Beasley, who had three tenures with the Heat, spent last season with the Milwaukee Bucks. He could stand as potential insurance should the Knicks deal disgruntled forward Carmelo Anthony.

Weber, who was released recently by the Charlotte Hornets, spent parts of last season with the Golden State Warriors and Hornets after being cut by the Heat on the eve of 2016-17.

Weber, whose partially guaranteed deal was reported by Yahoo, will be joining his fifth NBA team since going undrafted out of Virginia Commonwealth in 2015 following a devastating knee injury as a senior.

Weber previously played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Heat, Warriors and Hornets. He was cut last October by the Heat in favor of Rodney McGruder.

With 16 players under contract, the Heat were not considered as suitors for either Beasley or Weber.
