PISTONS SIGN SHARPSHOOTER MALIK BEASLEY! WHAT MOVES ARE NEXT? WENDALL CARTER, PAUL REED, TYUS JONES?

[@kda1024]

Trajan is providing Cade with spacing; I am impressed.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Excited to see what it looks like!!

[@cashflo502]

Best thing about spacing is it helps Ivey too!

I like how he’s getting shooters that play defense too

I live here in Wisconsin and watched Beasley all year. Don’t get real excited. He has a game here and there where he hits shots, but overall he’s not that great. Glad your excited about him, but don’t hold your breath

Now, they have that big on the Summer League who spent 4 yrs in college and might work his way on the team. If not, why not poach a big man off someone's bench or the G League? And thanks Coach for sharing this with us.

[@ronaldmcdonald1977]

I will take Paul Reed and Tyus Jones. But honestly, we might have too much talent. We are starting to look like an NBA team. Im hoping for a trade though for assets. But if we dont get a trade and some assets, im ok with Reed and Jones.

[@michaelpowell9152]

Provides 3pt shooting off the bench along with THJ. Spacing should be better for Cade and the team as a whole

[@gumbi7777]

[@TheKeysToWisdom]

Good signing. Very tradeable at the deadline. I do not think anything points to Ivey being traded though. Jaden is really the only guy we have besides Cade who can run the offense. Sasser is not close to an actual PG of offense. Looks like Trajan is going to have Ivey and Cade running things at all times with shooters around them at all times. Looking at the team shooting stats in terms of FG% 3% and FT % is very promising. Only 3 stats stand out as pure garbage. Ausar 18.6% from 3. Ausar 59% from FT and Ron Holland 24% from 3. Only Ausar appears to be pure garbage as a shooter though. Holland hitting 76% from FT and having a small sample size from 3 gives a bunch of hope for him while there is no hope for Ausar at all. 3 years of working 24/7 basketball is what produces under 20% from 3 and under 60% from FT for Ausar. Even Duren jumped his FT% from 61% to 79% in a single season of working basketball as a job. Ausar has put the work in and put up the thousands of shots but he is so broken that no improvement comes from him.

Why d MIL let him go ? Wow what a pick up

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Great question!! At that price !

[@Mrcool19771]

Milwaukee couldn't offer him more money because they are over the salary cap .

[@DEEDUBZ]

Didn't play a lick of Defense for Bucks in The Playoffs. They eventually dropped him, then got rid of him. Decent pick up if he bothers to turn up and play Defense.

[@Mrcool19771]

@@DEEDUBZ cap . I watched every bucks game . Granted , he's not Jrue Holiday, but that's not why they signed him . Space the floor for Giannis and Dame . Problem was Dame Lillard was bad on both sides of the ball .

[@cashflo502]

I was not a fan of what Trajan did in the draft but he is making up for it now in FA. We didn't need Brandon Ingram, we needed a bench. I still think we are missing interior D but this year should be much more competitive. It also lets us filter through some guys to determine what works and then trade the others away for an all-star next year.
