Having just arrived in Milwaukee, Doc Rivers and Patrick Beverley will experience a reunion evening this evening in Philadelphia. The first was cut after three eliminations in the conference semi-finals, while the second was just traded for Cameron Payne. Basically to make room for Kyle Lowry.
“There will clearly be some entertainment because of Pat and Doc” recognizes Daryl Moreythe president of the franchise, who returned to the choice to part ways with Patrick Beverley. “Once he took a step back, he understood the reasons: 'OK, my playing time is going to drop, and they did me a favor.' He may disagree that Kyle is considered better than him. It's reasonable that he thinks so. We made a bet that Kyle would be better. We may be wrong at the end, but we made this bet. And as a result, we said to ourselves that it was not good for him to lose his playing time, and so we transferred him. »
Sixers too personal?
As soon as he arrived in Milwaukee, Patrick Beverley criticized Kyle Lowry, but also the Sixers. “Here, we don't think about his stats. Here, we don’t wonder who will have the ball” he said.
Criticisms that amuse Daryl Morey. “It's Pat who does Pat… It's true that sometimes players tell themselves that they have to score 30 points or sign a double-double. This sometimes happens to multiple players and on multiple teams. I don’t think we’re an exception in this area at all.”
For the record, Patrick Beverley will have to wait before “ kick Lowry's ass » since the new leader of the Sixers, who must regain physical condition, is forfeited for the meeting.
