Ed Davis too.

Excuse my ignorance on this, but is this a NEW situation, or was he involved in that mess with the poker games from a year or two ago?

Damon Jones is listed a co-conspirator:

Nine-year NBA veteran Malik Beasley has been indicted on federal charges for gambling related to a sports betting scheme, such as point shaving and prop bets, his attorney Steve Haney tells ESPN. The government is coordinating a voluntary surrender of Beasley this week.

Five weeks ago, I sat across from Dundon in North Carolina, and he told me that he had watched “Untold: Jail Blazers,” the Netflix documentary on the era that has defined modern Trail Blazers history, on a flight from Dallas to Raleigh. What he saw, he said, disgusted him. Not the flagrant and unapologetic drug use, the rape allegation or the bad attitudes, but the way fans turned on their team. His takeaway: The players didn’t do anything. Indeed, they were not caught on film waving around a handgun in a Colorado nightclub. When I had that conversation with Dundon in Raleigh, he said that he felt fans of the Portland teams of the early 2000s were too quick to latch onto negativity toward Blazers players. Damon’s weed. Rasheed’s tantrums. Bonzi’s birdie finger. Fans resented it all. “Hopefully,” Dundon told me, “we’ll create a product where that’s not a choice.” Indeed, there should be no choice at all for Blazers fans. The only option is unrestrained fury.
