00:00All right, let's talk to you Knicks fans. You think that the Knicks should gamble on Malik Beasley

00:04and sign him to a vet minimum weeks before training camp opens. Well, I know you know

00:09about his situation, but his attorneys have told ESPN that the NBA free agent Ford is no longer

00:16the target of the federal gambling investigation. So weeks ago, authorities from the Eastern District

00:22of New York were looking at the 28-year-old for allegations stemming from bets that he

00:27allegedly placed during the 2023-2024 season when he played for the Milwaukee Bucks. However,

00:34his attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN months after this investigation commenced, Malik remains

00:41uncharged and is not the target of this investigation. Last season when he was with

00:47the Pistons, he averaged around 16 points and three rebounds a game, and he shot 41.6% from

00:54three-point range while playing in all 82 games. Now, Detroit was set to offer him a three-year,

00:59$42 million deal, but that was stalled once news of the federal probe leaked. Well, SNY's Ian Begley

01:07tweeted that the Knicks are among teams that had done background work on Beasley's situation and that

01:13they currently have a vet minimum to offer free agents. But there are other teams that could offer

01:20him more money or more than just a vet minimum. But with the way that Leon Rose has constructed

01:26this roster, it may make sense for him to take a pay cut and join the Knicks because they've got a

01:31great shot of playing in the NBA Finals. So I'm going to ask you Knicks fans out there,

01:36if he becomes available, do you want Malik Beasley to come to New York?
