Overview
- Beasley's attorneys said federal prosecutors no longer consider him a target in the Eastern District of New York gambling probe, reopening his market.
- The Knicks and Cavaliers have inquired but are limited to veteran-minimum deals, with New York weighing its lone minimum slot and executive Gersson Rosas’ past ties to Beasley noted in reports.
- Detroit’s previously expected three-year, $42 million deal vanished when the investigation surfaced, and the Pistons can now only use non-Bird rights to offer about $7.2 million.
- The Warriors have been floated as a potential wild-card suitor given available mechanisms beyond a minimum, though such interest has been framed as exploratory.
- The Lakers cannot add Beasley at the minimum without first clearing salary due to a first-apron hard cap, complicating any pursuit despite a roster opening.
