D’Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Malik Beasley are acquired by the Lakers in exchange for Russell Westbrook with Malik’s beef with Scottie Pippen resurfacing
A Hall of Fame athlete and Malik Beasley had a few run-ins, which resulted in a flurry of controversy that had an impact on his personal life. Additionally, this was the reason for his brief spat with Scottie Pippen, a former top player for the Chicago Bulls.
In 2020, Scottie and Larsa, his ex-wife, had recently called it quits. Beasley, who was already Larsa’s ex-boyfriend at the time, received a 120-day jail term. Using the occasion, the six-time NBA champion referred to the younger player as a “loser.”

The dating history of Malik and Larsa
Before the Hall of Fame forward referred to him as a loser, Beasley and Larsa dated for four months. Malik, who was in the midst of his own relationship, received a 120-day jail term after pleading guilty to one felony count of making violent threats.
Beasley and Pippen have long since broken up, and he now lives with his girlfriend, who is also helping to raise their child. In 2021, the Utah Jazz player apologised on his Instagram page.
Now Scottie Pippen Jr. and Malik Beasley are teammates.
Scottie Pippen Jr. now has to deal with living in someone else’s shadow, just like his father did when Michael Jordan was around. Now he has to play with Malik Beasley, who also happened to have dated Larsa Pippen in the past. Can you believe a man was traded to a team that included the son of his ex-girlfriend?
Scottie Pippen called Malik Beasley a ‘loser’ to Larsa Pippen: “When Malik got 90 days or something in jail [Scottie] sent it to me. He’s like, ‘Go ahead, keep talking to these losers.’”
NBA fans are in a frenzy about the Los Angeles Lakers acquisition of Malik Beasley in the historic three-team deal including Russell Westbrook and D’Angelo Russell. Beasley once dated Larsa Pippen, who is Scotty Pippen Jr.’s mother, and Scotty Pippen Jr. plays for the Purple and Gold.
In 2020, Beasley and Mama Pippen were spotted strolling hand in hand in Miami Beach. The fact that Beasley was married at the time further complicated matters. Beasley’s wife filed for divorce while Scottie Pippen Jr. appeared to address the issue on Twitter.
