According to Kelly Iko, The Athletic's Houston Rockets correspondent, the Houston Rockets uniform team hopes to add a reliable outside pitcher to the team's lineup this summer. They believe that the shooting ability is a relatively large weakness in the current Rockets lineup, and they need reliable outside pitchers to ease the pressure on the offensive end of the backcourt and inside players.At present, one of the players that the Rockets are closely watching is the Milwaukee Bucks' backcourt player Malik Beasley.
In the NBA regular season this season, Beasley played 79 times on behalf of his Bucks, with an average playing time of 29.6 minutes. The average playing time was 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.1 blocks, 44.3% shooting percentage, 41.3% three-point shooting percentage, and 71.4% free throw percentage.In the playoffs, Beasley made six appearances on behalf of the team, with an average playing time of 21.8 minutes, an average of 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.7 steals, 51.2% shooting percentage and 44.4% three-point shooting percentage.
Bisley's performance in the first half of the regular season was very excellent. His offensive efficiency was very outstanding, and his three-point shooting rate remained in the top five in the league for a long time. His competitiveness on the court was quite outstanding, and he was also an indispensable key figure in the Bucks' lineup.However, at the end of the season, his performance inexplicably showed a precipitous decline.After a series of bad performances, Beasley also lost his starting position.His situation has not improved in playoffs, his playing time is still limited, and his overall performance is also very unstable.According to Beasley's performance in the first half of the season, he has every chance to win a big contract, but his performance in the second half of the season has really destroyed his big contract.
Because Beasley's performance in the 2022-23 season with the Los Angeles Lakers was not ideal, he could only sign a veteran base salary contract with the Bucks last summer.In the summer, Beasley will be a free agent again.Considering that the Rockets have a full middle-class exception, if they are willing to use part of this exception for the signing of Beasley, their offer should be very competitive.However, the Rockets may also need to face pressure from other teams.The Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic are also paying attention to the dynamics of Bisley. Obviously, the Magic also needs to add a reliable outside pitcher, and Bisley is really in line with their employment standards.I don't know whether the Rockets can stand out in the battle for Bisley in the face of such fierce competition?
