Locked on Pistons had Keith Smith on as a guest. He is a cap guru on Twitter. Here is what he said about Beasley returning next season.
He said the Pistons will be over the cap. Which means they can sign him for $7.2M which he said wont be enough. Or they can use the full MLE on him which is about $14M.
He said only two teams project to have cap space this summer. Washington and Brooklyn, so neither one is a real big threat to sign Beasley.
He said other non-tax paying teams are the threat, the other teams with the full $14M MLE to spend. He specifically mentioned Houston. He said both LA teams could be under the tax line, also OKC.
Good teams that can offer the same amount of money would worry me.
