Los Angeles Lakers target Patrick Beverley to reinforce the defense of the 2022-23 season?
To return to the championship of 2020, Los Angeles Lakers needs many important pieces around the current stars.
They need good defensive players with stable throwing rates, ready to assemble into their systems and fulfill their responsibilities. In parallel, it needs a little more stubborn to be able to withstand the terrible pressure of one of the "most" teams in NBA.
So who will be the right name? Lakers said it was Patrick Beverley, who currently belonged to the payroll of Utah Jazz, the Rudy Gobert blockbuster exchange.
According to many big news sites, the home team Crypto.com and Miami Heat are two collectives pursuing Patrick Beverley. They contacted to show interest to the Utah Jazz's governing team and are preparing for the negotiation process.
Most fans have understood Beverley's personality and play. He has the ability to defend the outer ring at a pretty good level and has the carelessness to live well in the Los Angeles environment.
In terms of less attention, Pat Bev owns a 37.8% throwing rate in a career. If he joined the purple yellow army, he would immediately become the player with the highest success rate of the team.
So is there any barrier between Lakers and Patrick Beverley? According to Bleacher Report, the answer is yes and that is Talen Horton-Tucker.
Los Angeles Lakers is looking for the service of Patrick Beverley and in return, they will have to put a good enough name on the negotiating table.
Horton-Tucker is the name that Utah Jazz shows interest, but similar to the previous times, Lakers will not be ready for the young talent born in 2001 to leave.
"It seems that Lakers is still affected by the trend of not daring to sacrifice too much in exchange for quality pieces," Branch's Jake Fischer journalist said.
“The clear evidence is that at Trade Deadline 2021 when Kyle Lowry was able to set out to La. Lakers at that time did not agree to let Talen Horton-Tucker enter the negotiating table, so the deal was broken.
Another example is that the team does not accept to sacrifice 1 more round of round 1 to trade Russell Westbrook to get Kyrie Irving recently, making the negotiation with Brooklyn Nets go to a dead end. "
There will be a lot of things to do for Patrick Beverley to go to Los Angeles Lakers. But if this deal takes place, this will be an interesting contract that the Crypto.com home team owns.
The philosophy of the new head coach Darvin Ham focused on the defense. In attack, LeBron James and Anthony Davis need as many hands to throw 3 points as satellites as possible. Therefore, there are not many names more suitable than Beverley at this time.
