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

“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
Boston explored a deal that would send Josh Richardson and one of either Romeo Langford and Aaron Nesmith to Minnesota for Malik Beasley, but Minnesota was not interested at the time as they sought to maintain flexibility for bigger moves at the deadline, sources told both myself and The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski. -via The Athletic / February 2, 2022
Before Patrick Beverley reaches free agency, Minnesota is exploring trade avenues involving its veteran point guard in addition to the Timberwolves’ conversations regarding Malik Beasley.
