also - not sure how the US landlord/tenant act works but i'm really surprised they let him move back in unless he got someone to co-sign the lease with him.

I mean if wanted to join the Knick, Cavz, Thunder or elsewhere, it seems unlikely he would set up shop in Detroit while planning to move to another team?
Sure there could be explanations, but if finances for the guy are a mess, securing multiple $40K leases seems unlikely behavior imo.
Yup. Whats intriguing about it, is that the Pistons will be able to, at times, surround Cade with 3, 40% three point shooters.A_dub06 wrote:Whilst I don’t think a team will offer Beasley a contract until the league has conducted its investigation, I do believe 100% he will sign with us again when it’s over. The other option don’t make as much sense, and he’s clearly going to sign for as much as possible which we can provide.
Robinsons contract was clearly structured so that should he not produce we can wave him with minimal repercussions or use him as a neutral salary piece in a trade for an upgrade somewhere, so him being on the roster doesn’t really mean anything nor do we “owe” him minutes, so adding Bealsey allows us to play him as much as we want.
The situation sucks and clearly Beasley has issues, but as other have stated without the investigation I don’t think we could’ve turned the trio of Hardaway jnr, Schroeder and Bealsey into Levert, Robinson and Beasley. I for one prefer the trio of Levert, Robinson and Bealsey as I think it’s gives us more shooting and options where imo we should turn Ivey into a heavy minutes off the bench PG allowing us to have more balanced shooting and defence in the starting lineup.

Got a feeling its not us though, too bad
You know what I find hilarious about this Beasley situation? I have a seen a bunch of articles, especially around the Knicks, wondering if he'll take less, to "play for a contender." Is this the same Knicks team(with a worse, treadmill coach now)that the Pistons, with zero playoff experience should have beaten last year if not for injuries and a horrible non-call? If the Knicks are considered a contender, then so should the Pistons, flat out, period.the_l_train wrote:Yeah seems like if this is truly his decision, it would be us. Can't we pay him the most? That alone should make his decision.
He begged Trajan not to trade him at the deadline and said this was the most fun basketball situation he has ever been a part of….we were also 24 hours away from giving him a major bag, and he can't blame us for having to go to plan B given the weirdness.
Holding my breath that he makes the right decision this time.

Its been radio silence for about 2 weeks now. I'm assuming it gets done before training camp starts, which is around September 20-27th if memory serves, so something has to give relatively soon.thesack12 wrote:Has anybody seen anything reliable saying Detroit has even offered Beasley a contract, or any team for that matter?

None.
Only teams that have "checked in" on him, us included.
Playing time absolutely is a potential factor. It is worth noting he got more PT with us than he was likely initially slated to even last season due to the Ivey injury.
Unclear who's in the mix who might offer more of a role, and to my knowledge no teams that have been reported to be interested in him can offer more money than us. That doesn't eliminate the possibility that he signs with a team that hasn't yet been reported on, of course.
