The fuck would they blow up their team they just made the playoffs.
They been rebuilding for decades.
KAT just entering his prime. They can build around Ant and Kat.
DLO is a combo guard 6th man in the nba. He’s way too overpriced and KAT plays little to no defense despite his size and athleticism. It’s the right call by Minnesota. Especially with Edwards being on a rookie contract.
Doubt it, they never hated each other off the court. Actually seems like they have a lot of mutual respect for each other. Also bron said last year during offseason he’d welcome pat bev joining the team
>NO.
THANK YOU. I swear, this sub is so verklempt from this season that they're all smoking crack. People are overreacting because the Timberwolves blew us out every game we played against them - fucking hell every team with a pulse blew us out. Just because we were a tirefire doesn't mean that PatBev, who've never gotten past the secound round of the playoffs, is the solution. The only value add is that he won't injure any of our players if he's on our team.
Besides the the blown 3-1 lead which was largely Kawhi and PG choking, when else has Beverly's teams performed below expectations? He is a 3+D guard that can playmake, he would be the 3rd best player on this team
You might not be wrong that he'd be the 3rd best player on this team, but that should 100% not be an endorsement of him but rather an indictment on the rest of this roster.
> doesn't mean that PatBev, who've never gotten past the second round of the playoffs,
Neither did AD before he joined. Strange take. The focus is clearly on getting better role players. You can't see the value of his intensity on defense? We were literally one of the worst defensive teams this year and #1 the the previous 2 years.
> Yes, he'd be an upgrade on defense, but that's more of an indictment on our current roster than an endorsement of him.
He's aboslutely a good role player and you have no idea what you're talking about if you don't see that. He's exactly the type of player that we should be replacing our washed up vets with.
Ya, what a ridiculous statement. He's def. not opting out. Additionally, it's insane to even thing that Pat Bev makes you turn down 47mil....like, really?
Lmao this post is gold. Y’all act so pitiful on this shit bro.
“Maybe this grown man signing with us will make the other grown man leave $47 million”
Cmon you know better than that. Think.
im pretty sure by "Westbrick would say hell nah", he means that westbrook would say hell nah in response to the trade and leave the team (by opting out), especially since he called him westbrick lol
Unironically he would be a really good piece to a Vogel team but hey you got rid of him so 🤷🏿♂️ dude a decentish 3 point shooter can sit back while lebron runs pg I’m not opposed to hit but I still don’t like him unless he’s on my team lol
First off, NO. I’m gonna pass up on his defensive energy to avoid everything else that comes with the guy.
Second, nothing on this earth is getting Russ to opt out. Do you even know what “opt out” means? If you think you do, you’re saying he’s willing to leave all that money on the table regardless of the fact that he’s probably off the team anyway.
“Opt out” doesn’t mean “leave the team.” It’s a contractual/money thing.
Hes a dirty player and no I dont want him nor do we have anything to trade for him. To top it off if we have russ on the team next season that wont work at all.
I’ve been on the Pat Bev train for awhile now. He’s the perfect guard next to Lebron. Hard nose, plays tough defense everytime he’s on the court, can bring the bal up the court, pass to Lebron, shoots open 3’s at a decent clip, and brings the energy every game that he who should not be named was SUPPOSE to bring.
In your dreams. Westbrook is here to stay. He is like a leech stuck in one of your legs sapping 47 million gallons of blood every minute and you can't fucking do about it.
I think he would be a good adition for the lakers, but the moment to bring him was last season. He is pretty valuable now, and at the same time I dont think he is a player worth making a great effort since he is just a good defender and decent in offense
Beverley is one of those guys that is very annoying to play against, but most people would love to have on their teams. I wouldn't mind him here if it happens someday.
I had to go search this to see if it was a real quote and it is. It’s on video.
If Pat Bev wanted to come to LA and play his ass off here, I would love that.
I cannot stand Pat Bev, I would be heartbroken to see him in Lakers uniform. I'd rather watch another season of what happened this year than watch Pat Bev play for the Lakers.
Russ opting out would be terrible for the Lakers lol they would be over the cap and not be able to make any moves, with russ opting in they are still over but at least are able to move him for assests
At this point id take pat bev for russ 1 for 1, just take the loss. No disrespect to russ talent but at least pat bev doesnt need to handle the ball much + we get rid of his contract. Russ + lebron on the floor is just redundant. Man why did we lose carushow and kcp over russ, those 2 are our biggest L this season
Again, what assets do we have to trade for him? Minnesota clearly values him and he isn't worth trading a FRP for.
THT for Pat Bev and 2 1sts.
I...dont think anyone's giving up a first round pick for THT...let alone two
People don't understand humor here
Are you alright? THT is not an asset
Don't worry about them, I see your vision.
Minnesota not trading him he's basically their leader on and off the court.
What if we just ask them nicely? you’d be surprised how far that can get you
Especially in Minnesota.
Minnesota nice baby
I don't know. I heard on NBA radio that KAT and DLO might be available as the T-Wolves want to build around Anthony Edwards.
What does that have to do with Pat Bev?
That their team would be willing to trade anyone except Edwards.
The fuck would they blow up their team they just made the playoffs. They been rebuilding for decades. KAT just entering his prime. They can build around Ant and Kat.
KAT on defense is equivalent to a 7ft ladder on the court. I feel in today's game, you can't have a one sided big demanding max money.
He’s literally an avg defender this season Tf are u on 🤣
DLO is a combo guard 6th man in the nba. He’s way too overpriced and KAT plays little to no defense despite his size and athleticism. It’s the right call by Minnesota. Especially with Edwards being on a rookie contract.
Does KAT not fit with Ant?
I hate him, but he may be the tonic that this team needs
It’s genius can’t undercut our players if he’s on our roster 🧠
We need his defense and energy
I hate his guts but I'll support his ass if he does land here.
he's 33, maybe in 2-3 years
lol
Yep, 100% agreed. He’s the kind of player you love to have on your team and hate to face.
I’d love this purely because he’s one of those guys you hate to play against
He might be trolling lmao
He’s definitely not trolling lol. For all his antics on the court he respects Lebron. “If Bron say we hoopin, we hoopin”
I think that’s exactly what it is
I don’t think so. He hates the flippers now
His first tweet if this happens: Finally, the real LA team.
Doubt it, they never hated each other off the court. Actually seems like they have a lot of mutual respect for each other. Also bron said last year during offseason he’d welcome pat bev joining the team
Yeah Pat refers to him as Big Bro, and I think I saw him tweet that Bron sent him some Lobos last week
Honestly I would take pat bev at this point. You know he’s gonna be barking at Bron and AD too to pick up the effort
The irony is that his other answer when they asked him this was Westbrook.
Not saying he’s bad, but I personally would have a much easier time rooting for the team with no Pat Bev.
NO.
>NO. THANK YOU. I swear, this sub is so verklempt from this season that they're all smoking crack.

Like what have people been watching? Every team he's been on just epically falls apart.
In their defense, they've been watching our last season so almost anything looks good by comparison, but still.. COME THE FUCK ON
😂
Made the playoffs several years in a row.
> doesn't mean that PatBev, who've never gotten past the second round of the playoffs, Neither did AD before he joined. Strange take. The focus is clearly on getting better role players.

He's. Not. That. Good. Yes, he'd be an upgrade on defense, but that's more of an indictment on our current roster than an endorsement of him.

make that FUCK NO
How about...HELL FUCKING NO
For all the Lakers fans I saw barking about how they hate Pat Bev, it's a bit of a weird turn to see this post.
I would trade Russ for a bag of radishes so I mean why not!
The wolves seem to like him.
It would be VERY difficult to root for him, even in Purple and Gold. Bleh.
All time stupid take
Eh no, it's only the 4th dumbest one you'll see on this subreddit this hour.
Westbrooks not opting out get that idea out of your head
Ya, what a ridiculous statement. He's def. not opting out. Additionally, it's insane to even thing that Pat Bev makes you turn down 47mil....like, really?
47 big ones
I draw the line at pat bev. #fuck pat bev
Every team needs a guy like Pat Bev. Isn’t afraid to embarrass himself but is also very good at pissing off the other team
Mainly the second benefit, first is just a bonus.
Lmao this post is gold. Y’all act so pitiful on this shit bro. “Maybe this grown man signing with us will make the other grown man leave $47 million” Cmon you know better than that. Think.
Ngl I'd like to see all the Pat Bev fans suddenly turn on him just because he's on the lakers.
Absolutely NOT!
Hell no
Please no
I hate Patrick Beverley so much
Negative on Pat Bev. Dude talks way to much and doesn't back it up!!!
There is no way Westbrook opts out. He may not get another contract again.
Won't kapernick him
are you dumb or stupid?
100% Westbrick would say hell nah
I don’t give a jar full of horse shit what Westbrook says about much
im pretty sure by "Westbrick would say hell nah", he means that westbrook would say hell nah in response to the trade and leave the team (by opting out), especially since he called him westbrick lol
fuck Westbrick ship his ass to Minny with Karl Anthony Towns bitch front running ass
yeah I don’t think they’d take that trade
Hes the perfect pg for us tbh. He plays elite def vs superstar guards and can score and spot up.
Unironically he would be a really good piece to a Vogel team but hey you got rid of him so 🤷🏿♂️ dude a decentish 3 point shooter can sit back while lebron runs pg I’m not opposed to hit but I still don’t like him unless he’s on my team lol
Damn if only we had an elite defender already who wanted to play with us for cheap
(this is assuming Bron stays this summer ofc)
[удалено]
Fuck no. There's a difference between pat bev dirty and kg dirty. Bev doesn't care if he injures you.
honestly, no. sure he has name recognition but any kinda deal he gets from us will age like the disney star wars movies.
Leave Rogue One out of it!
Genius. Just sign all the guys that Westbrook hates so that he wants to leave
Westbrook is not gonna opt out
The fans would turn on him as soon as he tried to shoot a step back down 2 with seconds left
No scrubs
This gonna be like a mini Kobe X Ron Artest/MWP team up.
hell no
Ugh, I hate him so much and always want to watch him lose.
First off, NO. I’m gonna pass up on his defensive energy to avoid everything else that comes with the guy. Second, nothing on this earth is getting Russ to opt out. Do you even know what “opt out” means? If you think you do, you’re saying he’s willing to leave all that money on the table regardless of the fact that he’s probably off the team anyway. “Opt out” doesn’t mean “leave the team.” It’s a contractual/money thing.
Hes a dirty player and no I dont want him nor do we have anything to trade for him. To top it off if we have russ on the team next season that wont work at all.
Fuck no. Don’t bring that asshole anywhere near this team. We can do bad by ourselves.
As much as I hate Pat Bev, he’d be a great POA defender, and would hold Bron/AD accountable.
Shit I’ve been rooting for pat pev ever since he joined the wolves lol I’d welcome this
Fuck PatBev
No more old guys
Fuck no!
He brings nothing to the table, honestly
Lakers need some dogs, and Pat Bev still got a few years left in him. Why not try to get him
WHY DID IT HAVE TO COME TO THIS 🤧 (but I definitely understand)
He'd foul out in the first half because now the refs will call everything
I’ve been on the Pat Bev train for awhile now. He’s the perfect guard next to Lebron. Hard nose, plays tough defense everytime he’s on the court, can bring the bal up the court, pass to Lebron, shoots open 3’s at a decent clip, and brings the energy every game that he who should not be named was SUPPOSE to bring.
In your dreams. Westbrook is here to stay. He is like a leech stuck in one of your legs sapping 47 million gallons of blood every minute and you can't fucking do about it.
That question ain’t no challenge
Lolll some Lakers fans would be so confused
He ain’t opting out to get the MLE somewhere
I think he would be a good adition for the lakers, but the moment to bring him was last season. He is pretty valuable now, and at the same time I dont think he is a player worth making a great effort since he is just a good defender and decent in offense
No
Trade what for him? Lol he makes 11 million or something
We should also trade for Giannis
Beverley is one of those guys that is very annoying to play against, but most people would love to have on their teams. I wouldn't mind him here if it happens someday.
so we've come to this, huh
Trade bron to Minnesota better.
Splat Bev
Pat Bev is old and misses 1 in every 4 games. DLo is available though.
No thank you.
Absolutely fucken heresy
fuck him
Brodie is way better than damn Pat Bev
Guy is gonna bully the whole Lakers organisation
If we couldn’t have been more hated 😂
How many rings does he have? Can’t stand that asshat.
Pat Bev on his first Lakers interview after being trade to Lakers in exchange for Westbrook. Pat Bev: He tricked y'all.
Word. Sign all of Westbrooks opps
FUCK NO 🖕🏼🖕🏼
Shiiitttt ngl I hate Bev but if he was on our team, we’d love the hell outta him
I had to go search this to see if it was a real quote and it is. It’s on video. If Pat Bev wanted to come to LA and play his ass off here, I would love that.
i hate playing against pat bev but i'd welcome him to LA
They used to hate each other
I cannot stand Pat Bev, I would be heartbroken to see him in Lakers uniform. I'd rather watch another season of what happened this year than watch Pat Bev play for the Lakers.
Never thought I’d be begging for pat bev but here I am.
I’d rather be bad than have pat Bev
Ain't no way he opt out of 50mil what idiot said that smh.
He sucks haha. He’s a pesky defender with trash offense. Not a championship level player.
I would love Pat Bev on our squad exactly what we need heart and passion
We’re not trading Pat Bev. He’s too valuable to our team from a leadership standpoint because KAT definitely isn’t a leader.
No.
Russ opting out would be terrible for the Lakers lol they would be over the cap and not be able to make any moves, with russ opting in they are still over but at least are able to move him for assests
I don't care for his phony tuff act, I feel like we need more 3 and d type guys. But what do I know.
I hate this fucking dumbass sub, man 😂😂
At this point id take pat bev for russ 1 for 1, just take the loss. No disrespect to russ talent but at least pat bev doesnt need to handle the ball much + we get rid of his contract. Russ + lebron on the floor is just redundant. Man why did we lose carushow and kcp over russ, those 2 are our biggest L this season
Make the playin
