Patrick Beverley has been quite on the move in the last year or so. Shortly after being traded to Utah from Minnesota in the summer, the Jazz sent him to Los Angelesāa place he called home until this month.
As part of a major overhaul at the NBA trade deadline, the Lakers sent PatBev to Orlandoin a four-team trade involving the Clippers and Denver Nuggets.However, he ended up agreeing to a buyout as the Magic had no room for him.
Once he hit the open market, Beverley struck a deal to go back to his homeland to play for theBulls. Apparently, he had another strong suitor apart from Chicago. But for some reason, the Warriors werenāt attractive enough.
Patrick Beverley explains why he chose Bulls over Warriors
āIt was between Golden State and the Bulls. Obviously itās always good to play with a lot of great talent in Golden State but a lot of guards over there. I figured I can make a playoff push with the Bulls right now. Pump them up a little bit, the Eastās kinda weak. Iām excited man,ā Beverley said on his PatBev Podcast.
Beverley has a point, though the Bulls arenāt exactly in a great spot right now. Chicago is currently 11th, two wins away from the play-in spots. Thereās still a long way to go this season, so maybe Beverleyās locker room presence helps the team right the ship.
