It’s been a rollercoaster of an offseason for Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley.
We all remember the show he put on after winning a play-in game against the Los Angeles Clippers last season. How could anyone forget the image of him standing on the scorer’s table, embracing the Minnesota crowd à la Kobe Bryant after winning his fifth and final championship at Staples Center?
The Timberwolves are very forgetful, and on July 6, the Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves completed the first big trade of the 2022-23 NBA offseason, sending three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year center Rudy Gobert to Minnesota for Beverley, four other players and a whopping five first-round picks.
