Malik Beasley from Milwaukee Bucks to Houston Rockets?

Malik Beasley from Milwaukee Bucks to Houston Rockets?

The Houston Rockets are looking to improve their team this offseason, and they could do it with one of the best 3-point shooters in the league.

The Athletic’s Kelly Iko reports that the Rockets may be interested in Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Malik Beasley.

“Houston has identified court spacing and shooting as an area of ​​need this offseason privately and publicly and is interested in veteran sharpshooter Malik Beasley, league sources said,” writes The Athletic. “Beasley, who is also attracting interest from Orlando and Golden State, spent last season in Milwaukee, starting 77 games and shooting 41.3 percent from 3-point range.”

Beasley is one of the best 3-point shooters in the league, and the Rockets could certainly use his expertise. The Rockets have made just 35.3 percent of their 3-pointers this season, ranking 21st in the league. Among the bottom 10 teams in the statistics, only the Orlando Magic made the playoffs.

The Rockets certainly need to improve in this area, and acquiring one of the league’s best 3-point shooters could do the trick. Beasley has consistently been one of the league’s best in the 3-point department, and he might be one of the safest bets on the free agent market this summer.

Free agency begins June 30 at 5 p.m. CT.
