Minnesota Timberwolves: Malik Beasley

In November of 2020, Beasley and the Timberwolves agreed on a four-year, $60 million deal. At that point, he had played just 14 games for the Timberwolves after coming over in a trade from the Denver Nuggets the previous season. In his two years in Minnesota his shooting percentages and 3-point percentages steadily dropped each season from what he posted during that first 14-game stint.

After shooting under 40 percent from the field and just 35.7 percent from beyond the arc in the 2021-22 season he was traded to the Utah Jazz as part of the Rudy Gobert deal. From there, he was traded to the Lakers, fell completely out of the postseason rotation and had his team option for next season declined, making him a free agent. He will play for the Bucks next season on a one-year deal for less than $3 million.

Suffice it to say the Timberwolves could have gotten better value for their money.
