Where will play Malik Beasley next season? Unlike Rui Hachimura or Austin Reaves, the back is not a priority for the Lakers, and he should therefore be forced to look elsewhere. It’s that Los Angeles let him become a free agent by giving up on his “team option” at 16.3 million dollars.
Clearly, the former Wolves player will not find this salary next season, and he will probably have to accept a small, short contract to try to revive himself.
However, his profile has something to interest franchises since he is the player who has scored the most 3-points off the bench this season (159), ahead of Georges Niang (149) and Malik Monk (143).
The problem is that he does not bring much apart from outside shooting and that when he is not skilful, it is very difficult to leave him on the ground. That’s why he disappeared from Darvin Ham’s rotation in the playoffs, hardly playing against the Warriors and against the Nuggets, and semi-finals and conference finals.
According to Hoopshypeit still remains on the shelves of several franchises, including the Sixers, the Suns, the Raptors, the Mavericks, the Bucks but also the Warriors.
