Malik Beasley becomes a Milwaukee Buck
The Milwaukee Bucks and Malik Beasley have agreed on a one-year, $2.7 million deal.
Beasley’s role diminished over time after the Lakers reworked their roster after the trade deadline and by the end of the first round he had completely fallen out of rotation.
The 26-year-old averaged 12.7 points and was one of the leaders in catch-and-shoot 3-point attempts, according to NBA.com, despite playing less than 26 minutes per game. He also shot 35.7 percent from 3-point range.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Mason Plumlee have agreed on a $5 million one-year contract extension.
Plumlee reportedly had more lucrative offers from elsewhere, but chose to stay in LA.
Last year, the 33-year-old center averaged 10.8 points and 8.9 rebounds in a season that saw him traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Clippers at the trade deadline.

Torrey Craig has agreed to a two-year contract with the Chicago Bulls.
The 32-year-old was one of the few solid depth players to stay with the Phoenix Suns after they traded for Kevin Durant.
He averaged 7.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and shot just under 40 percent from beyond the arc last season.
