The New York Knicks’ offseason has been extremely eventful.Phil Jackson is gone. Trade rumors regarding both Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis created massive headlines in the major media market. With the No. 8 pick in the draft, the team took their point guard of the future (international 18-year-old Frank Ntilikina) and, as a result, let Derrick Rose sign elsewhere in free agency.Other than signing former Knick Tim Hardaway Jr. to a massive four-year, $70.95 million deal to return to the Big Apple, the team wasn’t able to make a major signing in free agency. However, on Tuesday, the Knicks announced that they came to terms with a former collegiate superstar who has been a bit of a journeyman at the NBA level.*LIVE COVERAGE*GIVEMESPORT will broadcast live coverage of the US PGA Championship on Facebook from 10-13 August. Live coverage starts Thursday 10 August, 18:00-00:15 HEREForward Michael Beasley agreed to a one-year deal for the veteran’s minimum of $2,116,995, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.The 6’10” Beasley has played both forward positions during his NBA career. It’s important to note that the Knicks are his sixth team in 10 seasons and that the former No. 2 pick has simply failed to live up to expectations after absolutely dominating his opponents during his one-and-done year at Kansas State University. But that doesn't mean he hasn't shown some glimpses of potential.

Last season, Beasley logged minutes in 56 games for the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 9.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per contest. While his court time was limited, Beasley was a very efficient scorer, posting career-highs in both field goal percentage (53.2 percent) and three-point percentage (41.9 percent).

Looking at the Knicks roster, it appears as though Beasley will be competing with Anthony, Porzingis, Lance Thomas, and Mindaugas Kuzminskas for playing time. However, if Melo is traded, Beasley is a candidate to potentially receive an abundance of playing time at the small forward spot for his offensive abilities alone.

If he receives the opportunity, Beasley has proven that he can put up elite scoring numbers at the NBA level. While he is a few years removed from his prime years in the league, it’s worth noting that in the 2010-2011 season as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, he put up 19.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in 32.3 minutes per contest over 73 games played.

Since he’s just 28 years old, there is still plenty of time for Beasley to get back on track and prove his doubters wrong after years of being an afterthought.
