A report from Yahoo said the Wolves have made Malik Beasley available in trade discussions, but a source said the Wolves haven’t made Beasley available and still want to re-sign him even after drafting Edwards. The Wolves view Edwards as having position versatility given his size and strength. They envision him being able to play on the wing or at power forward given the NBA’s propensity to play smaller fours and Edwards’ strength at 6-5, 225 pounds to guard that position.

Beasley, Hernangomez and McLaughlin are restricted free agents and Johnson has a $16 million player option. “We obviously are very, very happy with the things that we were able to see from those guys that are free agents this summer,” Ryan Saunders said. “They’ll continue to be priorities. Gersson, we work closely, and it has been a great partnership of getting guys that fit our time line, fit the system, the style of play that we want to play and guys that fit around Karl and D’Angelo.”

The Timberwolves released the roster of players expected to be in attendance for the bubble camp on Thursday. That roster includes Beasley, the Timberwolves’ fiery shooting guard. Beasley’s decision to attend is notable because he is set to become a restricted free agent after this season officially ends. Others in his shoes might sit this out to try to avoid an injury before trying to cash in with a long-term contract. But Beasley is a gym rat, and an entire summer without competitive basketball has him eager to get back around his teammates.

Wolves want to re-sign Beasley, Hernangomez

Dane Moore: Gersson Rosas was asked about Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez (both free agents this summer) in his State of the Timberwolves address this evening. Rosas’ response: “We want those guys to be Timberwolves for a long, long time. Hopefully, for the rest of their careers.”

Beasley was playing some of the best basketball of his career before the season was postponed in early March. He is a restricted free agent, meaning he could be somewhere else when next season begins. But the Wolves have cards in their hands to outmaneuver other teams and keep him, and before the season stopped, Beasley didn’t sound anxious to leave.

“Oh man, I love this system,” Beasley said before the stoppage. “It’s like the perfect system for me. We like to shoot threes. I’m a three-point shooter. We get out in transition. Our identity is to play hard all the time and that’s what I am. That’s who I am.”

The summer (whenever we get there) will be an interesting one for Beasley. He is a restricted free agent, and that means that the Wolves have the right to match any offer he gets. They traded their most attractive asset (outside of Towns) as part of a four-team deal to get Beasley, and he has only endeared himself more to them since arriving with his competitiveness. The Wolves will no doubt want to sign him to a long-term deal to keep him around.

That is, of course, where it started for the Nuggets. Denver was aggressive in trying to sign Beasley to a contract extension before the deadline in October, producing a multiyear offer worth north of $10 million annually, according to a league source. But Beasley, who signed with agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports last summer, declined and decided to play out the season with restricted free agency on the horizon in July.

What he might command in restricted free agency and whether the Nuggets would be willing to match any offers, is up to him. “I put in a lot of work, I’m confident,” Beasley said. “I don’t see it as (a gamble), I just see it as I’m out there to play and do my job and do that every night and take it the same way. “It was great talks from both parties and just couldn’t figure something out,” Beasley said in his first public comments about the negotiations. “It doesn’t hurt my relationship with them, it doesn’t hurt anything on the court.”

Monday’s 4 p.m. deadline for rookie scale extensions came and went, and neither fourth-year Nuggets Malik Beasley or Juancho Hernangomez had a new deal. That means both will enter next summer as restricted free agents, where the Nuggets still have the chance to match any offer sheets that either player receives from an opposing team.

The Nuggets were very aggressive in their offers, according to league sources, and both sides were talking up until Monday’s deadline.

Beasley and Hernangomez represented a different set of variables than Harris and Murray had. For Beasley, who turned down an offer in the neighborhood of 3-year, $30 million, a league source confirmed, his 2018-19 season was the first time he showed consistent growth.

You can read between the lines all you like. Malik Beasley ain’t tipping his pitch. “I’m handling my business,” the Nuggets’ wing guard said Monday at the team’s preseason media day when asked about his future — short-term and long-term — in the Mile High City. “Focused on the court, and that’s about it.”
