For years now, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been looking for ways to improve as a franchise and potentially make it back to the playoffs, but they have not been able to “crack the code” in order to leave the bottom-tier of the NBA.

Since the start of the 2004-05 season, Minnesota has reached the playoffs just once in 2018 and they have not sustained any success over the years. 

Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell are all high-level talents that make up a very strong trio, but health and depth are two main problems of this team.

Edwards was the only guy on the Timberwolves roster to play in all 72 games last season and one of their other key talents, Malik Beasley was on the wrong end of a lot of things.

Not only was he dealing with a Grade 3 hamstring injury, but Beasley was sentenced to 120 days in jail stemming from a bizarre gun incident in Sept. 2020. For the full story on what happened, you can check out TMZ’s report on it here, but Beasley just got out of jail after serving just a 78-day sentence. 

Now, the 24-year-old shooting guard is ready to begin his preparations for the 2021-22 season, but could he find himself on the trade block?

Beasley is owed $46.3M over the next three years, with a team option in the final year of his contract, and Minnesota is looking for ways to upgrade their overall talent, so moving him at some point during the 2021-22 season could definitely make sense. 

Given that he is coming off a season that he played just 37 games in and his recent off-the-court incidents serving jail time, what teams will be interested in Beasley should he become available in trade talks during the 2021-22 season?
