Nuggets close to dealing Beasley, Hernangomez in blockbuster four-team trade, source says

Late Tuesday night, after the Nuggets’ rousing win over the Trail Blazers, Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez walked back into the home locker room to say their goodbyes.

Beasley held a long embrace with Nuggets veteran Will Barton. He and Hernangomez had been informed that they were on the move.

According to a league source, both fourth-year players were close to being dealt to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, along with forward Jarred Vanderbilt, as part of a four-team trade also involving Atlanta and Houston. In return, the Nuggets would receive a first-round pick from Houston, along with Minnesota’s Keita Bates-Diop, Noah Vonleh and Shabazz Napier.
