Overview

• Beasley's attorneys say prosecutors told them he is not a target in the gambling investigation, allowing him to resume team talks.
• The Knicks and Cavaliers have inquired about Beasley, and both are limited to offering veteran-minimum contracts, per HoopsHype’s Mike A. Scotto.
• Detroit remains a natural suitor and can use non-Bird rights to offer roughly $7.2 million, after a previously discussed three-year, $42 million deal stalled during the probe.
• The sharpshooter is coming off a career year for the Pistons with 16.3 points per game, 41.6% from three, 319 made threes, and a second-place finish in Sixth Man voting.
• Given a depressed market, reporting indicates Beasley may need a short-term prove-it deal, while analysis suggests a Lakers reunion would require cap-clearing moves.
