Houston Rockets forward Michael Beasley has also left Allegiant Athletic Agency. Beasley returned to the NBA to play for the Rockets in early March after playing in the Chinese Basketball Association and being named MVP of that league’s All-Star Game in January. Beasley had been with Karnes since 2013, but was without an agent last week.
The Rockets might not be ready to rely on that, having tried to fill that position so often before.

The Rockets hope that Beasley shows enough in the remainder of this season to bring him back for another. For now, they are a team paying a franchise-record $95 million in salary and luxury taxes. Their concern is more immediate than to collect options for next season.
"We're looking for someone who can help us now and help us into the future," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. "We wouldn't sign a guy we didn't think could help us this year. Obviously, it hasn't been the year we wanted, but winning this year continues to be the goal."
