While his name regularly appears in business rumors on the Los Angeles side, Patrick Beverley isn’t forgetting his ex. According to the latest rumors, in case of departure from the City of Angels, the leader would see himself return to Minnesota.
Recovered this summer in Utah (notably against Talen Horton-Tucker) to become the starting leader of the Lakers, Patrick Beverley is for the moment far from giving satisfactions at the Crypto.com Arena. His 3&D profile complementing LeBron James was his best asset to buy time in Los Angeles, but the pit bull fails to show his best face in California. In defense the veteran still has some leftovers, we also saw him fight with Deandre Ayton, which earned him a suspension, but it is above all his long shot that hurts to see this season. 25% parking address for a player who hits 37% in his career, that’s a bloody stain. Whoever runs 4.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in just under 27 minutes this year could therefore pay the price for this failed start and be traded by Rob Pelinka in the coming weeks.. The Lakers’ bid to bring back Bojan Bogdanovic was also said to include Beverley, Nunn and a protected first-round draft. A deal that didn’t convince Detroit.

Will Pat finish the season with the Angelino shirt on his shoulders? Nothing is certain but according to Jake Fisher’s Yahoo Sportsthe leader has very specific wishes in case of departure. According to the insider, the veteran would not see himself joining a project under construction at all in the event of an exchange. Go to the Pistons, the Magic, the Thunder and nanny 20-year-olds, no thanks. At 34, Beverley knows his time on the pitch is limited and he prefers to join a team that will make the playoffs with one destination in mind: Wolves. Starting last year in Minnesota before being traded to Utah for Rudy Gobert, Patou has left fond memories in the Great Lakes region and the prospect of being able to return seems to attract him. Fisher is therefore evaluating the scenario of a possible buy-out in the event of an exchange with an unattractive team, which would allow Beverley to put himself in the ideal position to be easily recruited by his former franchise. An issue far from won given that the player is still wearing the Lakers shirt at the time of writing these lines.
Pat Beverley and the Wolves, what if the wedding resumes this year? In case of departure from Los Angeles, the leader would find himself again Karl-Anthony Towns and company in Minny.
