4 Free agents the Philadelphia 76ers could regret not signing

1. Malik Beasley is a cost-friendly wing who should have been a Sixer

Malik Beasley was one of the best perimeter shooters in the NBA this past season. Playing alongside superstars with massive gravity like Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Florida State product was playing a crucial role as the happy-go-lucky shooter on a contending team. Beasley finished the regular season shooting 44.3% from deep on almost seven 3-point attempts per contest.

He remained in the zone during the playoffs for an undermanned Milwaukee team, making his threes on a 44% clip. On the other side, the 76ers traded for one of the best shooters alive out there, Buddy Hield, but the 3-point contest champion flopped despite his positive contribution at some points during the playoff series vs. New York.

Who knows? Maybe Beasley could face the same fate if he were to join the 76ers this offseason. The only proven shooters that I can remember being their amazing selves during their time in Philadelphia were JJ Redick and Marco Belinelli. Jokes aside, I was surprised to see Philadelphia not making a move to take away Beasley from their conference rival, especially after signing for the Detroit Pistons on a team-friendly one-year deal.
