Patrick Beverley is someone who is not afraid to speak his mind, whether that be out on the court, or on his podcast. Overall, Beverley is one of those players who is known for being a gritty guy. His trash talk is next level, and he is a hard person to play against. However, in the last couple of years, some have felt that Beverley does too much talking for someone who doesn’t make a big impact on the score sheet. Nevertheless, there are plenty of teams out there who still think he is worth signing.
That is exactly what we saw at the trade deadline as Beverley was sent to the Orlando Magic. Although the Magic decided to buy out his deal, Beverley immediately found a new home. The point guard signed with the Chicago Bulls, and he even had the Golden State Warriors calling his phone. Most reporting around the Beverley trade noted that it was the Lakers who were shopping him around. On his podcast, however, Beverley made the claim that it was he who requested a move out of L.A.
Patrick Beverley Tells All
“Tell the viewers what really, really, went down in LA,” Beverley said. “I don’t mean cup of tea type of shit, but you know, you know. To some people, it could be that Pat Bev got traded when all reality I didn’t like what was going on, and let’s find a better home for me. Not so, that he ain’t good enough let’s get rid of him. All that shit was my decision. So, you gotta think, I’m making the decision, it was my decision, they honored my request, but at the same time, I’m sitting here without a home.”
This is definitely an interesting revelation, although it is hard to tell if he being truthful here. Beverley is known to embellish, and the Lakers did seem pretty excited to get rid of him at the deadline. Regardless, these comments made it clear that there was some dysfunction within that Lakers locker room. Let us know what you think about all of this, down below.
