Malik Beasley's return would create obvious trade candidate for Pistons

News just broke that Malik Beasley is no longer under investigation for gambling, which opens the door for a possible return to the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons have plenty to consider, as does Beasley, who is an unrestricted free agent and can sign anywhere he chooses.

There was obvious mutual interest in a contract this summer before all of this nonsense broke out but that may have cooled on Detroit’s side after they moved on without him, trading for Duncan Robinson to replace some of his shooting.

But Detroit did leave a roster spot open, possibly for this very reason, but it creates an immediate roster crunch that would probably require another trade.
