Patrick Beverley Finds A New NBA Home

by

Patrick Beverley is one of those players in the NBA that you hate to play against, but love to have on your team. Overall, he is a gritty player that is known for his defense. While he won’t put up incredible offensive numbers, he will still make his presence felt, night in and night out. However, his time with the Los Angeles Lakers this season saw a bit of a regression. Although this could be attributed to that disjointed roster, there is no doubt that the Lakers felt like they could get better. Consequently, this led to a trade that brought Mo Bamba to Los Angeles.

Subsequently, the Orlando Magic decided that they would prefer to buy out Beverley’s deal. This was an expected move that would ultimately turn Beverley into a free agent. With Beverley on the market, there were plenty of teams looking to sign him. One such team was none other than the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls are his hometown team, and it would have made sense for him to go there. In the end, that is exactly what he did as it was announced that the Bulls were officially signing him.

Patrick Beverley Chooses His Team

Interestingly enough, Beverley revealed that there was a second team vying for his services. That team was none other than the Golden State Warriors. Overall, the Warriors are a team that could use some help, and Beverley is among those that could aid the squad. However, as he explained on his podcast, he felt like it was a smarter move to head to Chicago. “It was between Golden State and the Bulls…I figured I make a playoff push with the Bulls right now. The East kinda weak,” Beverley explained.

The Chicago Bulls aren’t in a great position to contend right now. After all, the East boasts teams like the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and the Philadelphia 76ers. Although, Beverley seems to have a ton of confidence in his new roster. Only time will tell whether or not this Bulls team can pull it together in time for the postseason. Let us know what you think of the move, in the comments below.

Patrick Beverley Has A Message For The Lakers

by

Patrick Beverley is a player who has been through a lot in the NBA. He had to grind to get a roster spot at the beginning of his career, and since then, he has taken advantage of his opportunities. Overall, Pat Bev is seen as a player that you hate to play against but love to have on your team. He talks a whole lot of trash and is also wildly entertaining. Moreover, he is a good teammate who always defends his people, even if they had beef in the past.

At the beginning of the season, Beverley was able to secure a spot with the Los Angeles Lakers. Consequently, it was believed that the Lakers had made a huge upgrade to their defense. As the season began, however, it became clear that Beverley wasn’t providing the defense they thought he would. Subsequently, Beverley’s name was tossed around in various trade rumors. On Thursday, all of that chatter came to a head as Beverley was officially traded to the Orlando Magic for Mo Bamba.

Patrick Beverley Reacts

Now, it is being reported that the Magic want to buy out Beverley’s deal which would allow him to become a free agent. There is no telling where he will go, although today, he was more focused on crafting a message for the Lakers. As you can see in the tweet above, Beverley wanted to showcase his gratitude towards the franchise. “[Lakers], thanks for the Love,” Beverley wrote. “Was a pleasure 2 represent the Lakers in any type of Way. Thanks Rob, Thanks Coach Ham and Entire Lakers organization for everything. Finish Strong GANG.” It was a very nice message that showcases how much the opportunity meant to Pat Bev.

Overall, it remains to be seen where Beverley will go next. However, there are certainly going to be some teams out there who will want his veteran presence. Hopefully, he can get that figured out sooner rather than later. Let us know where you would like to see Pat Bev play, in the comments down below.

Lakers Swap Patrick Beverley For Mo Bamba

by

Patrick Beverley has consistently been one of the more interesting characters on the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, he is a player who prides himself on his defense. However, he hasn’t been the defensive player that the Los Angeles Lakers were hoping for this year. With that being said, it has been reported that the Los Angeles Lakers were looking for opportunities to potentially trade him. After all, it is the trade deadline, which means every single team in the league is looking for ways to improve its roster. As a role player, there is always a risk of being traded, and Pat Bev was feeling that.

Another name that had been popping up around the league is none other than Mo Bamba of the Orlando Magic. Bamba hasn’t been getting a ton of playtime with the team and they’ve been trying to find some potential trade suitors. Overall, that task has proven to be quite difficult. Regardless, the Magic remained active at the deadline as they looked to sell off some of their assets heading into the off-season. Today, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic hit a collision course and made a big move.

Lakers Acquire Bamba

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Patrick Beverley has been sent from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Orlando Magic. Subsequently, Mo Bamba will now be going to the Lakers. This is yet another huge move for the Lakers as just last night they traded Russell Westbrook to the Utah jazz. In return for Westbrook, they were able to pick up Malik Beasley as well as D’Angelo Russell and Jarred Vanderbilt. Now the purple and gold will be looking to finish up their season strongly with a whole cast of new players, including Rui Hachimura and now, Mo Bamba.

While this next stretch of basketball will prove to be difficult for the Lakers. Their new lineup promises to be a lot better than its last. Overall, the team is trying to be a lot better now as LeBron James wants to make the playoffs. If for some reason they don’t make the postseason, yet again, then there is a very real risk that LeBron just opts out and looks for a trade in the off-season. Let us know what you think of this trade in the comment down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Lakers Reportedly Looking To Move On From Patrick Beverley

by

Over the coming weeks, the Los Angeles Lakers will have a lot to think about. They are a team that needs some new pieces, especially if they want to make the playoffs. Overall, they are 13th in the Western Conference. However, they are just a winning streak away from being a top-five team in the West.

As it stands, the Lakers have a lot of players that they could trade away. They already did so with Kendrick Nunn, and it brought in a nice player in Rui Hachimura. Now, they can go out and seek more trades that could involve players of a higher profile.

Patrick Beverley On The Move?

As it stands, one player that could potentially be traded is none other than Patrick Beverley. Pat Bev is someone who prides himself on his defense. However, he hasn’t been his best this season and it’s not what the Lakers were hoping for. Having said that, it only makes sense that the Lakers would look elsewhere.

“I think that they’re gonna continue to be active looking for guards, basically looking to upgrade their guards, seeing if they can upgrade from Patrick Beverley especially,” Brian Windhorst said on ESPN today. As for guards the Lakers are interested in, Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet seem to be at the top of that list.

The trade deadline will not be easy for the Lakers as numerous teams struggle to work out deals with them. Regardless, fans should rest easy knowing the franchise is at least doing something.

Let us know who you think the Lakers should go out and get, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Damian Lillard Calls Patrick Beverley A “Con Man”

by

Damian Lillard and Patrick Beverley were getting into it last night. Of course, many of you already know that the Los Angeles Lakers came back from 25 points to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers. Lillard struggled at times, and overall, LeBron James had another fantastic game.

As for the Lillard and Beverley quarrels, it all started in the second quarter. Prior to taking a commanding lead, Lillard had some harsh words for Pat Bev, who was being a pest. Subsequently, Beverley trolled Lillard with the “Dame Time” celebration at the end of the game.

After the game, Beverley continued to have words for Lillard. For instance, Beverley wanted some credit for Lillard’s struggles in the second half.

“If he would have cooked me you would have said ‘I couldn’t guard him.’ But he misses a couple of shots and it’s a ‘slow shooting night.’ ‘Good job on Dame’ sounds better,” Beverley said.

Damian Lillard Responds

This led to a quick response from Lillard on Twitter, who simply said “Con man. Flip from above the rim.” Clearly, Lillard isn’t moved by what Beverley was able to do throughout the game. Interestingly enough, Lillard isn’t the only player to have made a comment like this about Pat Bev.

Just a short while after this tweet, Pat Bev went straight back at Lillard, saying “He mad.” Overall, this is a beef that won’t last more than a day. However, it just goes to show how competitive these guys are at everything they do.

Moving forward, Beverley and the Lakers will be looking to get themselves into a playoff position. The team has been playing a lot better as of late, and they certainly have a shot at getting into the postseason. It really all depends on whether or not Anthony Davis can stay healthy upon return.

Let us know whose side you are taking in all of this, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the sports world.

Patrick Beverley Trolls Damian Lillard With His Own Move

by

Patrick Beverley is known as a player who can get under your skin. While he doesn’t put up a lot of numbers, he is certainly a ton of fun to watch on defense. Overall, he has played decently for the Los Angeles Lakers, and last night, he was of great use to the team.

For instance, he was getting in the head of Damian Lillard. In the second quarter, Lillard and Beverley got into it. Consequently, Lillard told Pat Bev “I’ll beat your ass.” What is funny about this is that the Blazers went from being up 40-38 to being up 71-46 at halftime.

Patrick Beverley Gets Revenge

However, the Lakers could not be counted out as LeBron dropped 37 points. Eventually, the Lakers were able to chip away at the lead and they even won by a score of 121-112. Overall, it was a huge comeback, and Pat Bev knew exactly how to celebrate it.

In the video clip down below, Beverley can be seen mimicking Damian Lillard’s iconic “Dame Time” celebration. This time, however, the watch clearly wasn’t working as Patrick Beverley took it off and shoved it in his pocket. It was yet another instance of Beverley being extra, although you could tell the fans loved it.

With this latest win, the Lakers are now a step closer to getting into the postseason. They still need to string together a few wins in a row in order to get play-in status, however, Anthony Davis is returning soon. Furthermore, their upcoming games are fairly winnable, except for maybe the match against the Boston Celtics.

In addition to the Lakers’ playoff hopes, James is trying to hunt down Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the all-time scoring title. For now, LeBron is just 223 points away, which means he is likely to break the record in about seven or eight games. There is no doubt that this will be a huge accomplishment that turns heads.

As for Pat Bev, he will continue to be the league’s most prolific pest.

Patrick Beverley Comes Clean

In the most recent episode of his podcast, his kids were a topic of conversation. As you can see in the clip below, this is mostly because he was talking about Christmas. Beverley recently admitted to telling his children that Santa Claus does not exist.

The Los Angeles Lakers star wanted to make it clear to his kids that it was he who was giving them all of their gifts. Overall, it is a pretty hilarious way to think, although that’s Pat Bev for you.

“Them presents y’all getting ain’t from Santa, that s***’s from me,” Beverley said. “That’s me eating that s***, I just wanted to let you guys know.”

Telling kids that Santa isn’t real can be a truly crushing experience. As children, we are full of wonder and will pretty well believe everything. Unfortunately, reality has to set in eventually.

Let us know what you think of Pat Bev’s masterclass in parenting, below. As always, stay tuned to HNHH as we will bring you the latest news from around the sports world.

Russell Westbrook Divulges On Relationship With Patrick Beverley

by

Russell Westbrook is looking to bounce back this season after having one of the worst campaigns of his life last year. Westbrook is a player who has always been known for giving it his all, and fans were concerned over his poor play last year.

In addition to all of this, Westbrook now has to play with Patrick Beverley, who used to be his nemesis. These two went at it quite a bit and they had some bad things to say about each other in the media. With that being said, reporters have been curious about whether or not Russ feels like he has had to compromise who he is.

Russ was very adamant that things are fine between him and Beverley. As you can see in the tweet down below, Westbrook claimed to be an easygoing guy who has never held a grudge, especially not when it’s related to battling on the court.

“[There was] no process,” Westbrook said. “I’m an easygoing guy. I don’t hold grudges against anybody—life is too short. We’ve been blessed with too many opportunities and platforms to walk around and hold grudges. I just continue to move forward. Obviously, when I’m on the court, I don’t have any friends other than that basketball and the people that’s on my team, so I compete. Other than that, off the floor, I’m just a normal guy that likes to have fun.”

This should be good news for the Lakers, who will need everyone to be getting along if they want this season to work out. After last year, any improvement will be a massive improvement.
