His salary is not that much, I thought he had a max contract but I was wrong.

I also don't know if he is already signed by the Lakers, but I believe if they will, he can be a great help on the floor if they'll give him more playing opportunities. He might be a liability in the defense but his offense is very impressive.

I think no teams will take that as a reason in terms of trading a player. That attitude is common in the league.

Can you share with us a link stating that's the reason for his trade? If that's the reason, I found it unprofessional.

Perhaps he was referring to Pat breaking Devin Booker's nose without any penalty or infraction from the NBA? For me, it looks like intentional, that's just my honest opinion.

I think he was traded because of other reasons though, maybe the Clippers is over the salary cap and then want to offload some players and the best choice is to let go of Pat. In which he was use as a leverage by the Grizzlies.

Looks like Patrick Beverly has become the trending meme now in social media where he boasted about getting the championship when they got Kawhi Leonard. But now he is being traded to be the star on a team that has no chance to compete even in the NBA playoffs but things can change if someone has both motivations and skills. let's see upto where he could bring his new team this upcoming season.

Yes. He is one of the best in terms of defensive awareness and let us not take that away from him.
Some people are just looking at the ill attitude that he showed against CP3 when he lost his temper but that's emotion overflowing when you want the championship so bad.
I have been on that same feeling that's why I can't relate.
He doesn't mean any harm but CP3 also had a contribution on why it happened because of how he looked down on Pat at that moment.
Skill-wise? Pat Beverley is good with leadership as a bonus. Anyway, T'Wolves is a young team and might need a veteran so it's a good deal.

Yes, one of the thing that Pat Beverly can offer to the young Wolves, his leadership because he is already a veteran. I remember Gary Payton when he become a Lakers, he teaches Kobe more on defense and we can see Kobe improved and learn a lot from Payton that time (minus the trash talk).

As for KAT, I would say that they either rebuild the Wolves to win a championship or just be traded to another and be part of a super team.

Yep, he should go for at least a contenting team whether East or West.


On those two, I would say GSW, as he might have a reunion with Wiggins.

I'm not sure about the Blazers, it seems that they really lack something that even if Wiggins more there, they will still fall short of a championship.

Or Minnesota going into a rebuilding phase and kept him for at least 2 years and see how it blend.

I'm pretty sure that he will get a championship once he leaves the Timberwolves but his current contract right now with the team is until 2024.
When Love leave the TWolves and joined LeBron in the Cavaliers, he got his championship there and I'm sure that the same will happen to KAT. Let him join to a team where there is at least 1 superstar or an average team maybe that is entering the playoffs.

Acquiring Beverley will not change anything with the team. There defense might increase with the addition of him but still it isn't enough for them to be at least a playoff contender. I just hope that KAT will be traded to another team because his career will just go to waste if he stays there unless the Wolves will get another superstar that will help him then he might stay.

Because of that statement, I search for an article about the warriors getting KAT, and this is what I found.

He is a high paid player so the Wolves would demand a lot of players in return.
If GSW is willing to gamble with that, they'll improve as a team but the health of Thompson is still vital as GSW needs the splash brothers.
