D'Angelo Russell was the big-name haul at the trade deadline for the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the Malik Beasley trade may prove to be the most consequential going forward.
In his 14 games with the Timberwolves, Beasley averaged 20.7 points and 5.1 rebounds while shooting 42.6 percent from 3-point range.
While the 2019-20 season is now in jeopardy for the whole league, it was lost for the Timberwolves months ago. With constant injuries, a poorly constructed roster, and questionable coaching schemes, the season was doomed before Thanksgiving.
Once we hit the trade deadline, though, a glimmer of hope was thrust upon the fan base with a complete overhaul of the roster.
