hornrimmed_rambis 2,086 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 He has a hearing on Dec 29. No idea what will happen, but I would guess the NBA will wait for some actual judgement of guilt. As for the actual merit of the case, it seems pretty light to me. One word against another on the "threats with a gun" charge. I dunno, but this whole thing seems overblown out of nothing. If I had to guess, it gets pled down to a simple pot possession charge. If that's the case, how many days can the NBA suspend him? Maybe three? A week? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brye 419 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Got him with last pick what a steal. Pot really now , 6 game suspension on a UPM is a joke. I don’t think he gets any suspension to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mtx 141 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Some people need to read more clearly...... Judge isn't making him skip work but employer can still suspend an employee for misconduct........ Mon, Dec 21 Malik Beasley has entered a guilty plea for threats of violence from October charges, Shams Charania reports. Advice: His felony drug charges were dismissed, however. "Any potential jail, or home confinement, will not exceed 120 days and will be served at end of 2020-21 season," his attorneys said in a statement. Wolves reporter Dane Moore has been told that the NBA will discipline Beasley as well and that a suspension is imminent. When that happens and for how long remains to be seen.

This is disconcerting. I wonder if there will be any leeway given it's a reduced season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brye 419 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Rumor has it he agreed to a plea deal which could knock down the felony to a misdemeanor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hornrimmed_rambis 2,086 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 So we know the 10-game rule is for felonies, not misdemeanors. For a misdemeanor gun charge, we are looking at maybe 3-6 games. This is a pure guess. But Darren Collison got 8 games for pleading guilty to domestic violence. This is less than that. Frankly, given the arbitrary and capricious gun law enforcement in this country, it would be wise for the NBA to go lightly. Big picture is that we are talking maybe a week. It's pretty irrelevant for fantasy. One should evaluate him as if there is no cloud of doubt. He started during preseason, and it looks like Rubio will come off the bench. So MB is the starting SG. Last season, after he arrived in Minny, he was #88 ranked, with 20 points and 3.5 3pms. In the last preseason game, he went for 18/11, with 3 3pm and a steal. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hornrimmed_rambis 2,086 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Did the NBA just forget to suspend Malik Beasley? Fifteen minutes to game time, and no news. No JINX! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep in mind that he averaged 18 PPG when KAT was out of the lineup, and a couple when Russell was out. Going to be much different with KAT and Russell both healthy.

Not really , look what’s Wiggins was averaging With jimmy butler..... all I’m saying is the t wolves have 3 scorers towns, russel, and Beasley and that’s about it , pretty sure he can average 18 a game this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazycanto 1,260 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 So uh... is he getting suspended tomorrow? Someone panic dropped him in my league yet he's putting up points tonight. Might be warranted if he does sit on the weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
