I changed 5 teams in 4 years and worked out a 42 million contract, but now it has been taken back and I even have to go to jail!

"My contract is gone, my jersey number is gone, I was slandered, and even my sneaker endorsement was withdrawn, but what's worse is that I can't even refute and I can't sign a contract. What should I do?" Recently, on his social media, Malik Beasley, who played at his peak last season, expressed serious dissatisfaction.

Due to the recent gambling crisis in the NBA, and the arrests of Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier, various rumors are flying all over the sky. Although Beasley has not been arrested, the case regarding his alleged illegal gambling is still not over. Therefore, even though he performed well last season, no team dared to sign with him. This also made Beasley feel desperate.

In fact, Beasley has been quite unlucky in recent years. In the past four seasons, he has been wandering to 5 different teams. He obviously has certain shooting skills, but he still cannot be recognized by the team. He finally performed at the peak of his career last season, was regarded as a key figure by the Pistons, and received a good offer. He never thought that something like this would happen again, and that he might even be arrested and imprisoned. Let us take a look at what ups and downs Beasley has encountered in recent years!

continued to wander in the west and was gradually marginalized.

Back to the 20-21 season, Beasley performed well in the Timberwolves this season, averaging 19.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39.9%. In today's small ball era, with such accurate three-point shooting, coupled with a small contract, Beasley is definitely a hot commodity. But something unfortunate happened. After only playing 37 games, he was seriously injured and ended the season. This time he not only missed the remaining games, but also lost his starting position.

After returning from injury in the 21-22 season, he sat directly on the bench. Although he still had 12.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists, his efficiency dropped significantly compared with last season, and his shooting percentage was only 39.1%. In addition, in the playoffs, his data further reduced to 8.5 points and 3.3 rebounds. Under this situation, his road with the Timberwolves came to an end and he was sent to the Jazz in the summer.

After coming to the Jazz, Beasley's performance still did not improve much. He contributed 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, which obviously failed to impress the team. Not only that, the Jazz had already begun rebuilding at that time, and he could be traded at any time as long as the offer was reasonable. As a result, he was sent to the Lakers in the middle of the season, and the Lakers had high hopes that he could strengthen his outside shooting.

But this time, he still disappointed the fans. He averaged only 11.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, and his shooting and three-point shooting percentages were only 39.2% and 35.3% respectively. Such efficiency was completely unable to meet the needs of the Lakers. To make matters worse, he was abandoned in the playoffs and only played 8.3 minutes. In sharp contrast, the Lakers made great progress and finally reached the Western Conference Finals. Therefore, after the season, the Lakers did not renew his contract. In less than 2 years, he went from being a solid starter with the Timberwolves to becoming a homeless man. He was even close to having no ball to play. The situation was very embarrassing.

Reborn from adversity and rose again in the east.

Fortunately, Beasley is only 27 years old after all and has no major injury history. In addition, his three-point shooting in the regular season is guaranteed, so the Bucks also gave him a basic salary contract. There were no good choices, and the Bucks were pretty good, so Beasley signed this minimum salary contract without any hesitation.

It has to be said that Beasley is indeed ambitious. In addition to wanting to win a satisfactory contract, he also wants to prove his strength. In the 23-24 season, he not only became the starting shooting guard of the Bucks, but also averaged 100 points per game. With a steady contribution of 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists, the three-point shooting percentage rose again to 41.3%, and the production of three-pointers ranked among the top in the league with 224. In that season, it gave the Bucks a huge help. Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo missed the playoffs, so the Bucks unfortunately fell in the first round of the playoffs. However, Beasley's performance has improved, and his value in the free market has obviously improved. Many teams have given him offers, and this time he chose the Pistons.

Although it is only a one-year, US$6 million contract, Beasley is already very satisfied. Moreover, the Pistons have just experienced a nightmare season. The whole team is highly motivated and hopes to prove themselves in the 24-25 season. Therefore, this time joining, Beasley can also find his own position.

Under the strong control of Cade Cunningham, Beasley is very comfortable on the offensive end, and coach Bickerstaff also attaches great importance to his shooting, giving him a lot of tactical status, and Beasley also directly handed over 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and With 1.7 assists, the three-point shooting rate reached 41.6%, and the output reached an astonishing 319. Apart from him, only Anthony Edwards and Stephen Curry have a total three-point output of more than 300 this season, which is enough to prove his value. Therefore, after the season ended, Beasley became popular again and received more offers from NBA teams.

was caught up in a gambling scandal, and the contract he received was gone.

Of course, Beasley’s first choice is to stay with the Pistons. After all, the tactical status and value here are something that other teams cannot provide. Moreover, the contract offered by the Pistons is also good, reaching 3 years and 42 million US dollars.. But what is unexpected is that the FBI began to investigate the serious gambling situation in the NBA, and Beasley was also deeply involved. Although the results of multiple investigations showed that Beasley had no problems, this case has never received a final verdict.

With the fermentation of public opinion, the Pistons chose to protect themselves wisely. Not only did they withdraw the contract offer, but they were also unwilling to cooperate with Beasley. Besides the Pistons, other teams also avoided him, for fear of encountering more accusations because of signing Beasley. And now Beasley is also very depressed. He is obviously at his peak age of 29, but he is unable to play because of this incident, and may even be arrested and sent to prison. This huge gap is indeed quite embarrassing.
