With the Philadelphia 76ers lacking spacing, many sharpshooters were brought into play as potential targets for them.

From reuniting with alumni like Seth Curry to adding a shooter with some size like Simone Fontecchio, many shooters could fit the Sixers.

Philly take with RB has brought another potential option into play for the Sixers: Detroit Pistons sharpshooter Malik Beasley. Beasley has been more of a journeyman in recent years, and he has been excellent this season.

Beasley has produced more with the touches the Pistons give him. He is averaging 16 points, the highest of his career, and is shooting 43.7% and 41.4% from three, respectively.

That has paid off for the Pistons, who are 11-16 and in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and a game and a half ahead of the Sixers in the conference standings.

That’s why it’s hard to imagine the Pistons giving up on him. They don’t want to mess with their most promising team since Blake Griffin’s days.

That was the only way the Sixers could get Beasley

The Pistons could mess up what works, but only for an upgrade. If they find an upgrade for Beasley, that could lead to a possible trade to the Sixers down the road.

It’s hard to imagine the Pistons trading Beasley in the middle of a career season, but it’s happened before. They were impressive, but they are also at a crossroads.

They could also do it for the season to try for Cooper Flagg, but they may see this season as a stepping stone to something better.

President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey has pulled a rabbit out of the hat before, so never say never. If he managed to catch Beasley, he would honestly rip out a colony of rabbits.
