Salary expert: 8 teams including the Thunder Heat can quote Beasley. The Warriors may be fine, but it is difficult

According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, Malik Beasley's lawyers Steve Haney and Mike Schacht revealed that Beasley is no longer the target of a federal betting investigation conducted in the Eastern Conference of New York. He is not charged with betting and may return to the free market.

Salary expert Keith Smith posted a news on social media, talking about Malik Beasley.

Keith Smith said the following teams can offer Beasley a contract with a price of more than $7.2 million for the Pistons (using its non-bird rights):

Nets: $15 million in salary space

Hornets: $14.1 million in non-luxury tax middle class special

Bulls: $14.1 million in non-luxury tax middle class special

Pacers: $13.5 million in non-luxury tax middle class special

Heat: $7.3 million in non-luxury tax middle class special

Thunder: $8.5 million in non-luxury tax middle class special

Kings: $7.3 million in non-luxury tax middle class special

Wizards: $14.1 million in non-luxury tax middle class special

Keith Smith believes the Warriors may also join the competition, but Jonathan Cumingga's restricted free agent status and multiple open positions in the roster have complicated their situation.

Then, Keith Smith added: "Yes, a sign-in and exchange transaction may occur. But in such a transaction, Beasley can get no more than the amount he received directly from the Pistons. The amount is a four-year contract with a total of $30.96 million, with a starting salary of $7.2 million in the 2025-26 season, and an annual increase of 5% thereafter."
