Patrick Beverley to leave NBA for ‘historic’ offer amid doubts over basketball future
Is it time for Patrick Beverley to retire from the NBA? Many members of the basketball community will know that Pat Beve is a veteran point guard who has been a part of several teams over the years.
Unlike most point guards in the NBA, Beverley established himself and found a spot on the roster due to his defensive toughness and mentality. Although she is already 36 years old, recent reports reveal that Beverly wants to change careers and move abroad. Now that the context is given, let’s take a closer look and find out more.
Patrick Beverley did not end the last NBA season on a good note
Those who followed the playoffs last season will know that Patrick Beverley managed to generate an incredible amount of criticism for himself. He was with the Milwaukee Bucks last season and got playoff minutes as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were both dealing with injuries.
However, Beverly and the Bucks were unable to defeat the Indiana Pacers. As they were just minutes away from ending their season, Pat Bev interacted with Pacers fans and even tossed a ball into the crowd twice. Furthermore, he was unable to control his emotions in postgame interviews and even refused to answer a woman’s question because she didn’t subscribe to his podcast.

As a result of his behavior, it was announced that the NBA would suspend him for 4 games. Now that it’s been reported that Beverley is interested in playing in Europe with a ‘historic’ contract, fans are wondering if there’s still any hope left in the NBA for Pat Bev.
Which teams across the league should consider adding Beverley to their rosters?
With several NBA players like Dwight Howard still playing decently and finding themselves out of the league, it’s hard to claim that a team would find enough value in Beverly to offer him a contract at this point. After all, he may come across as a player who brings more trouble than impact and value.
No NBA team wants this guy anymore. End of an era 😅

However, it’s always possible for a team to offer him. Although it looks like Patrick Beverley is more interested in making money, he might not quit if a team gives him the chance to compete for an NBA championship on a minimum contract.
