Has the time come for Patrick Beverley to make an exit from the NBA? Many members of the basketball community will know that Pat Bev is a veteran point guard who has been a part of several teams over the past few years.
Unlike the majority of point guards in the NBA, Beverley established himself and found a spot on rosters due to his defensive tenacity and mentality. Although he is already 36 years old, recent reports reveal that Beverley intends to make a career change and go overseas. Now that the context has been provided, let us take a closer look and find out more.
Patrick Beverley did not end the last NBA season on a good note
Those who were following the playoffs last season will know that Patrick Beverley managed to generate an incredible amount of criticism towards himself. He was with the Milwaukee Bucks last season and got playoff minutes as both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were dealing with injuries.

As a result of his behavior, it was announced that the NBA would be suspending him for 4 games. Now that it has been reported that Beverley is interested in playing in Europe with a ‘historic’ contract, fans are left wondering if there is still any hope left for Pat Bev in the NBA.
Which teams across the league should consider adding Beverley to their roster?
Given that several NBA players such as Dwight Howard found themselves out of the league despite still playing decently, it is very difficult to claim that a team would find enough value in Beverley in order to offer him a contract at this point in time. After all, he might come across as a player who brings more trouble than impact and value.
No NBA teams want this man anymore. The end of an era 😅

However, it is always possible for a team to make him an offer. Although it looks like Patrick Beverley is more interested in making money, he might not leave if a team offers him a chance to contend for an NBA championship on a minimum contract.
