Patrick Beverley is moving to the Lakers with LeBron James and Russell Westbrook as the Woj told the same with a tweet.
Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring talents and leaving nothing behind to win it all. With keeping the championship in mind, the Lakers are fully focused to land Patrick Beverley this Thursday according to Adrian Woj from ESPN.
Lakers are acquiring the Jazz player in exchange for Stanley Johnson and Talen Horten-Tucker. The high-profile trade is in the news for some other reasons as well. The reason is that there can be a huge issue with the lineup as Patrick will play with the point guard Westbrook.
Notably, Patrick is a 2009 second-round pick and started his NBA career with Houston Rockets in 2012 after playing a few seasons in Europe.
34 years old Patrick Beverley is all set to join the Lakers after five seasons with Houston, four with the Clippers and last season with the Timberwolves. He has averaged 9.2 points per game, along with 4.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds a game in the 58 games that he played.
The low-risk addition to the team with exceptional defensive skills, Patrick can add notable value to the team and play along with Westbrook.
Beverley is yet to finalise the move to the Lake Show, but his relationship with Russell Westbrook has been very salty. The fans are very surprised by the trade and they are talking about what the relationship between the two stars would look like on the court.
Twitter was on fire with tweets about how Beverley can affect the Lakers equation and his past encounters with LeBron and importantly, Russell Westbrook.
Here are some of the epic and funny fan reactions to the trade news that broke recently:
