"We have to have high-character human beings": Pistons executive gets real on Malik Beasley controversy

The Detroit Pistons were excited to re-sign Malik Beasley to a new contract after the shooting guard broke the franchise record for most 3-pointers made. However, they had to put their plans on hold after the guard got into legal trouble.

On July 8, Piston's President of Baksetball Operations, Trajan Langdon, addressed the press at the team's Midtown practice facility about Beasley's situation.

"I was able to communicate with Malik and his agent on Saturday, which was obviously right before we could start talking to free agents on Sunday," he said.

"It was disappointing for us, because we were excited to get him back. Had to pivot quickly and given the situation, we have to have high-character human beings coming into Detroit, and I think they'll help us a lot. Pretty darn good basketball players, too."

The Pistons had to go out and acquire Duncan Robinson in a sign-and-trade. For now, Beasley and his fans will hope that the investigation concludes soon, and the former Piston guard gets his career back on track.
