Where could the free agent Malik Beasley land?
Malik Beasley is the best free agent available on the market. Last season, he arrived second in the sixth vote of Man of the Year, with an average of 16.3 points in a game from the bench in Detroit, shooting at 41.6% from over the arch.
It is still available at the end of August because just before the start of the free agency, a person of interest was appointed for a federal gambling probe, after which no team would have approached him. Now Beasley is no longer a goal as the investigations of the American prosecutor, according to his lawyersWhich means that the market could open it again.
Except for the fact that the market is now very different, since most of the teams have compiled their lists and does not have the space of the roster or hood to pay Beasley what it deserves. Detroit is a good example. According to reports, Beasley was talking to the Pistons of a three -year contract of 42 million dollars before the federal probe, which blocked those interviews. Now the Pistons have largely gone, leaving and adding Caris Levert and Duncan Robinson to play the role of Beasley and get their list of up to 14 players. While the Pistons could sign it, it is now unlikely.
There are interested teams – like The Cavaliers and Knicks, reports Michael Scotto of Hoopshype – but most of the contending teams could not only offer him a minimum veteran agreement. (Knicks Reporter Ian Begley Added the Knicks had done “basic work” on beasley.)
The Knicks and the Cavalier checked -in on Malik Beasley, they said sources @hoopshype. The manager of Knicks Gersson Rosas signed Beasley for a four -year agreement of $ 60 million with the Timberwolves. Knicks and Cavs have minimal offers to offer. Beasley is no longer a goal of a federal investigation

Other teams of playoffs with open spot that could have interest include the Timberwolves, Warriors and 76ers, however, the monetary situation is basically the same with all, it would be a minimum offer of the contract.
In the end Beasley should sign a minimum veteran contract of one year and then make the way in a larger agreement next summer.
