Malik Beasley: Allegations of Gambling

[MotownMadness]

Did you guys see the exposed video about this? Really a good watch! His parents were both Hollywood actors and someone posted about Beasley being involved in this a year before it came out. Pablo Torre Deep Dive.

Crazy stuff

How that twitter user knew Beasley was involved before anyone else in January is suspicious as hell.

The Pistons have moved on, and so should we.

'The Pistons traded for then paid Duncan Robinson, Beasley no longer has a role on this team. Essentially, I'm agreeing with you

My suspicion is that teams know what's going on with Beasley. They know he's not coming back.

I could be totally wrong on that, but this feels like a situation where folks are in the know about what's going on, even if the public aren't fully clued in.

Yeah, Terry Rozier has been under federal investigation for gambling all through the porter investigation and ban. The team and league still let him keep playing. The fact that nobody has signed beasley even though he hasn't been charged with anything is definitely a huge red flag.

Of course, I don't think we actually renounced him, right? He wasn't making a ton, but we'll be one of the only teams that could offer more than the vet min if he is cleared. Seems pretty unlikely though.

It's the interwebs so I want to be careful about jumping to conclusions, but this is what I've gathered so far...

A year ago, around the time Jontay Porter was banned, somebody put Beasleys name out there. It turns out that person was a relative of somebody directly involved in the Porter situation. This sure makes it look like the two players (Porter & Beasley) are connected through this 3rd party, which is still under Federal investigation.

IF that is all accurate, then it surely does *not* look good for Beasley. It *looks* like an expansion of the same investigation which lead to Porters lifetime ban from the NBA. I have absolutely no clue what organization knows what or when they knew anything, but based on what little we do know I wouldn't expect anybody to touch him until he's 100% cleared & vindicated. Fair or not that is a risk that nobody wants to take.
