Patrick Beverly had already taken it into his head to make a speech if the opportunity presented itself. The outcome is still very uncertain but the news should delight the former Lakers player.
According to Chris Haynesthe Californian franchise plans to give a champion’s ring, in the event of a title, to all players who are members of the workforce… at some point this season.
Which means that Patrick Beverley but also Russell Westbrook would receive, like the current members of the team, their ring. A first for the two men which would have a funny flavor since they were transferred last February: one having finally landed in Chicago, the other in the neighboring Clippers club.
funny jewel
” If they win, fuck call me what you want, I’ll have this ring. I may shed a tear “, had formulated the Bulls player, a few days ago in his podcast, with a hint of irony in his speech. According to him, his former teammate would also agree to receive a champion ring.
Before exploring this hypothesis further, it would be necessary in any case that the Lakers, now at the gates of the conference final, go to the end. If this scenario were to come true, they would have to produce a lot of jewels because on the general statistical table of the regular season appear no less than… 24 players (compared to 15 in the playoffs).
Thus, in addition to the pair Westbrook – Beverley, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones, Kendrick Nunn or Thomas Bryant, all transferred during the exercise, would be likely to be rewarded.
On the other hand, none of these players would be considered “champion” by the NBA if the Lakers win the supreme title this season, because it is necessary to be part of the workforce in the playoffs of the winner for that. Something to remember the strange fate of Anderson Varejao, never champion but to whom the Cavs and the Warriors had offered a ring…
