Malik Beasley is back on NBA teams' radar now that he's no longer the target of a federal gambling investigation, and the Miami Heat are among the squads best positioned to sign him. But they won’t.
And it (mostly) comes back to Terry Rozier.
Now, Beasley can be considered somewhat redundant with both Tyler Herro and Norman Powell already on the roster. But the Heat have struggled to reliably stretch defenses in the half-court for years. With head coach Erik Spoelstra clearly planning to favor smaller lineups, adding Beasley’s high-volume flame-throwing could take Miami’s offense to a whole new level, immediately giving it three of the Association’s most lethal shooters.
