Beasley Lawsuit Claims Agent Began Improper Conduct As Early As 14

From the time Michael Beasley was 14-years-old, Joel Bell and Curtis Malone conspired a relationship with him in order to secure the rights to represent him professionally, according to a civil suit filed in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

Beasley asserts that Bell financially backed Malone's DC Assualt team and that in return Malone felt obliged to direct Beasley to Bell for professional representation.

Beasley’s suit contends that, along the way, Bell and Malone violated NCAA rules and federal laws governing agent conduct.

Beasley’s accusations are part of a countersuit against Bell and a third-party claim against Malone filed Sept. 27 in Montgomery County Circuit Court in response to a Jan. 21 breach-of-contract suit filed by Bell Sports Inc. against Beasley. Bell’s original suit claims Beasley wrongfully terminated his representation agreement with Bell Sports Inc. just prior to signing an endorsement deal with Adidas.
