Patrick Beverley has drawn interest from the Lakers

According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, the Utah Jazz veteran guard Patrick Beverley has drawn interest from multiple playoff contenders, including the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat:

“Patrick Beverley also appears to be a strong trade candidate,” Fischer wrote. “The former [Minnesota] Timberwolves point guard has drawn interest from the Lakers and Heat, sources told B/R. Philadelphia had been mentioned as a potential Beverley suitor, with his past Houston experience and the [Philadelphia] Sixers’ obvious deep [Houston] Rockets connections, but it seems unlikely that Beverley would now be Philadelphia-bound after the team acquired De’Anthony Melton on draft night.”

This past season, Patrick Beverley, 34, averaged 9.2 points, 4.6 assists, 4.1 boards, and 1.2 steals per game for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
