Dane Moore: Malik Beasley says he would like to stay in Minnesota after the deadline but that he understands it’s a business. “I’m just working hard and doing what I gotta do, whether I’m here or anywhere else. I’d rather be here, but it’s a business, so you can never know what can happen.”

Malik Beasley has made 24 of his last 46 3-point attempts (52.2%), and 19 of his last 30 (63.3%).
Beasley is up to 36% from deep on the season — and his 3-point volume per 100 possessions is 123% of what it was last season (when he was bombing nearly nine 3s per game). – 11:49 PM

Brad Stevens has made a push for #TWolves’ wing Malik Beasley because he wants another defensive weapon on the perimeter. Beasley’s just 25 years old + a career 38% 3-point shooter. With Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown’s shotmaking, Beasley would get tons of open looks w/the #Celtics. – 4:29 PM

Malik Beasley on the team struggling in these last two wins: “I was telling somebody today, honestly, that last year we probably would have lost these two games. … We’d rather have bad wins than bad losses. So it feels good to get those wins.” – 6:53 PM

Malik Beasley is 3-5 from deep. He’s been shooting the ball really well of late. Finch says they’ve worked with him to get a little more arc into his shot. Seems to be working. – 4:14 PM

Christopher Hine: Malik Beasley on trade rumors: “I don’t pay attention to that at all. This is my 6th year in the league, and I’ve been traded before. The only thing you can do is control what you can control. … I’d rather be here, but it’s a business, so you can never know what can happen.” -via Twitter @ChristopherHine / February 9, 2022
According to several rival executives who spoke with HoopsHype, there’s a belief that including a first-round pick in a trade offer could pry Malik Beasley from Minnesota. -via HoopsHype / February 8, 2022
“Minnesota definitely trying to trade for Marcus Smart. But, unless they include a first-round pick or Jaden McDaniels in addition to Malik Beasley, [a deal] most likely doesn’t get done.” – @DWolfsonKSTP on @SKORNorth -via Twitter / February 7, 2022
