If he brought a second wind to the Bulls, who won 14 out of 22 matches with him in the second half of the season, with his defense and his presence as a playmaker orphaned by Lonzo Ball, Patrick Beverly is not certain to continue the adventure in Illinois.
The Chicago native is free this summer and, obviously, all the options on the table. Nevertheless, he has two imperatives for his future. The first: the sports project.
“We’ll see how things go with the Bulls but maybe a lot of other people will want a Pat Bev for their team. It all excites me.” he announces on his podcast. “I want to be on a team that wants to win. Whether equipped or not, this team must want to aim for the title. »
Second condition: money. And on this ground, the former leader of the Rockets and the Clippers, although he remains on one of the worst seasons of his career, is ambitious since he does not want to lower his salary. On the contrary even.
“My level of play hasn’t dropped, so I don’t see why my salary this season should drop,” he advances to justify his salary claims. “I’m at $13 million, and as salaries go up, my $13 million can become $15 million next season. »
Will a franchise aiming for the title want to put 15 million dollars on a player who will soon be 35 years old (he will have them in July) who, despite his defensive qualities and his experience, no longer really has the same impact as few years ago ? Answer this summer…
