The Denver Nuggets made a "very aggressive" offer to sign Malik Beasley to a contract extension before the deadline, a sources tells the Mike Singer of the Denver Post.

Beasley will be a restricted free agent this offseason.

“I put in a lot of work, I’m confident,” Beasley said. “I don’t see it as (a gamble), I just see it as I’m out there to play and do my job and do that every night and take it the same way. 

“It was great talks from both parties and just couldn’t figure something out,” Beasley said in his first public comments about the negotiations. “It doesn’t hurt my relationship with them, it doesn’t hurt anything on the court.”
