We should keep Malik Beasley

Anyone else think we should keep Malik Beasley til at least the deadline? Guy is one of the premier volume 3 point shooters in the league. He averaged 44% from 3 on 12 attempts per 36 minutes last year from February on. He started off cold shooting 35% from 3 because he was in jail or house arrest I can’t remember during the off-season.

He could average over 20ppg as tank commander and fetch a nice asset at the trade deadline. Or if you want to retool for some reason, you’d have one of the best volume 3 point shooters in the league. I just wouldn’t ship him out before the season starts.

Thoughts?
 
why wouldn't the jazz keep him? i expect them to keep all the players they got in the gobert trade, at least for now.

The Jazz currently have 5 rotation guards: DM, Conley, Clarkson, PatBev and Beasley. Unless you think you can play 3 of these guys at the same time, there are only 96 minutes to split among them. So...the Jazz pretty much have to trade or buy out at least one of their guards.

Ainge will find a way to jettison conley. the others will all start the season on the team - unless he has to include one in the conley deal.

And Beverly. Tough dudes this team needed. Tougher than jae crowder
 
Isn't he like ***** defensively? I guess for the tank, that's good.
 
It's too soon to say. We don't know if this is a retool with the intent to be competitive, or a full on tank. Depending on what the timeline is,
you may want to get a pick out of him or not. He also doesn't seem to overlap with anyone but Clarkson, but it is a crowded backcourt.
Personally, I say give him 30 games to start next to DM and see what it looks like.

What exactly were his off the court issues? If it involves domestic violence I'd just as soon get rid of him.

Pulled a gun on a family member, I don't remember if it was close family or relatives but iirc, they confiscated more guns from his house.

Edit: I was pretty sure it was his own family but I was wrong. I may have mistakenly assumed it when I have read "family" in the articles or it could have been reported that way in the first stages. Not that it matters much.
