Beasley was born on November 26, 1996, at the age of 27. This offseason, the Lakers did not renew Beasley's contract, and he could only join the Bucks for one year and $2.7 million. Beasley is not a 3D player, he only has a 3 and no D. If they can't shoot three points, then there is no point for the Lakers to stay with Beasley.
Before joining the Lakers, Beasley was actually quite accurate in three points:In the 2018-19 season, he shot 40 from three-point range2%；2019-20 season, 388%；2020-21 season, 399%；2021-22 season, 377%。It's really a bit strange that Beasley has a lot of open three-point opportunities in the Lakers, but unfortunately he just can't shoot.
Beasley isn't the first three-point shooter to miss with the Lakers, with Lonnie Walker shooting 36 from three-point range with the Lakers last season5%, shooting average 16 three-pointers. Walker is shooting 46 from three-point range with the Nets this season3% and 2 per game6 three-pointers. Sharing the same illness as Beasley, Walker is currently on a one-year contract.
Speaking of Beasley, this guy is in constant trouble off the court. In November 2020, Beasley abandoned his wife and children and got together with Pippen's ex-wife Larsa, with a 22-year-old difference. In the first half of 2021, Beasley broke up with Larsa. In the summer of 2021, Beasley returned to his wife.
During the time when Beasley and Larsa were in love, he was sentenced to 120 days in prison for threatening violence with a gun!Also in the summer of 2021,Beasley served his sentence in prison and was reduced to 78 days for good behavior. Most NBA players have only a few years in their first life, and Beasley wastes a lot of time by focusing on the off-court.
If Beasley can maintain his offensive touch this season, he will have a chance to earn a 10 million annual salary next offseason, what do you think?
