Multiple teams have had due diligence conversations with the Denver Nuggets regarding guard Malik Beasley, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Beasley will become a restricted free agent next summer once the Nuggets offer him a qualifying offer worth $3,895,424:
Multiple teams have had due diligence conversations with Denver regarding guard Malik Beasley, league sources say. Because of their wing depth with Beasley, Juancho Hernangomez and Gary Harris, Denver (14-7) routinely receives trade calls but has no traction currently on any deals. Beasley and the Nuggets did not reach agreement on a contract extension in October, clearing the way for him to be one of the top restricted free agents next summer. Beasley is considered a talented, 6-foot-5 shooting guard with scoring potential.
In 17 games this season for the Nuggets, Beasley is averaging 6.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He's shooting 38.0 percent from the field, 41.2 percent from beyond the arc and 85.7 percent from the free-throw line.
The Nuggets are 14-7 on the season. They are in the fifth spot in the Western Conference standings.
Beasley is making $2.7 million this season. The Nuggets tried to re-sign him before the rookie-scale deadline, but a deal wasn't able to be reached. Beasley will likely receive from lucrative offer sheets next summer once his restricted free agency begins.
