Milwaukee Bucks: Michael Beasley didn’t want to re-sign

Although the odds seemed stacked against it throughout the summer due to the Milwaukee Bucks’ limited cap situation and general lack of roster spots, many of the team’s fans continued to hold out hope that Michael Beasley would return for another season in Milwaukee.

Those hopes were officially dashed last week when Beasley came to terms on a one-year, veteran minimum deal with the New York Knicks, but the reality is a return may never have been more than a fantasy to begin with.

In an interview with Marc Berman of the New York Post, Beasley revealed that he was pursuing opportunities which could provide him with greater playing time in the coming season, and as such that effectively ruled out the Bucks.
