Beasley did not respond to the second of the lawsuits accusing him of failing to pay $7,355, resulting in a default judgment being filed against him before 36th District Judge Andrew Bradley-Baskin. The nine-year veteran is currently a free agent and was reportedly set to agree ona three-year, $42 million contractwith the Pistons before news of the federal gambling investigation was reported. Beasley's attorney, Steve Haney, pointed out to reporters that his clienthas not been chargedwith any crime. Following reports of the gambling probe, Beasley was alsosued by Hazan Sports Management Groupfor breach of contract, alleging he owes the agency $650,000 that was unpaid when he terminated his contract.
