The seasoned Patrick Beverley, a former Los Angeles Lakers guard, has hinted that he wants to play for the Golden State Warriors and is arguably one of the top players available on the buyout market.
Beverley didn’t have a great run with the Lakers despite starting a major chunk of games. He averaged 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists — his lowest numbers since the 2012-13 season. But he does still have the defensive prowess that he was always known for, plus his legitimate locker-room leadership qualities.
Beverley was traded to the Orlando Magic for Mo Bamba, who was picked 6th in the 2018 NBA draft. However, the former was waived by the side just days after acquiring him.
On Thursday, the 34-year-old interacted with fans on Twitter and shared his two cents on joining his old team, the Minnesota Timberwolves. Also, up for consideration were the Houston Rockets, Chicago Bulls, LA Clippers, and Golden State Warriors.
While speaking about the Warriors, Beverley liked the idea of playing alongside the team’s defensive powerhouse, Draymond Green.
Patrick Beverley On What It Means Playing For The Golden State Warriors
One of the more elite units in the West, although their current season suggests otherwise, the Golden State Warriors have been a target for most players.
It’s no surprise that Beverley wanted to join forces with the likes of Green, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson. In his tweet, the guard said it would be a player’s dream to suit up with Golden State.

For now, Beverley’s future remains uncertain. And safe to say, he would be a great fit with the Warriors, adding more teeth to their defense as they stake their claim for a playoff berth. The younger and rebuilding teams in the league could use a man like Beverley.
The Warriors are a far cry from the consistent unit that they were last year. They are placed seventh in the Western Conference standings with a 29-29 record, and only time will tell if they can steadily climb the rungs as the regular season comes to an end.
