In July 2019, Patrick Beverley initialed the best contract of his career: a three-year extension with the Clippers for $40 million. Two years later, in the spring of 2021 therefore, the leader did not find an agreement with the Californian franchise.
« When Lou (Williams)Trezz (Montrezl Harrell) and me came to the Clippers, we weren’t the Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Chris Paul or JJ Redick, it wasn’t our era », he recalls on the podcast of the latterin reference to “Lob City”, the cycle preceding his arrival in California.
« We kinda wanted to have our own identity “, adds the one who had been exchanged, with his two companions, during the summer of 2017 for Chris Paul precisely, sent to the Rockets to associate him with James Harden.
Patrick Beverley, who had recovered the starting place in Los Angeles, had started negotiations last June with his team. In the middle of the conference final against the Suns. ” Where the team had never been. So me, as I was there from the start, I’m thinking of a contract extension. I tell myself it will be easy.

There, the local GM would have told him that he was waiting to see how the training camp would evolve to decide his fate. ” What are you talking about camp? I hold next to Ja Morant! »
The 32-year-old was subsequently transferred to Wolves, in his ” Top 3 » staff of the teams concerned. A particularly successful marriage for both sides because Minnesota is on track to find the playoffs while the veteran has already been extended for one year and 13 million dollars.
