New team, same Patrick Beverley.
Less than two weeks after the Los Angeles Lakers traded away the veteran guard, he is already plotting his revenge as the newest member of the Chicago Bulls. InHe was blunt when asked how he will feel about playing his old team:"Knock them out of the playoffs."Beverley only played for the Lakers for half a season.
Beverley will likely not get a chance to directly eliminate the Lakers, as they have six games after they faced his Bulls consecutively on Mar. 26 and 29, but they will almost certainly be in a position where a loss or two would be very bad news. The Lakers currently sit in 13th place in the Western Conference at 27-32. They are two games behind the 10th-place Oklahoma City Thunder for the final play-in spot, with the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers between them. For an outright playoff spot, they are 3.5 games behind the sixth-place Dallas Mavericks.for Mo Bamba was only one of the moves the Lakers hoped would turn around their moribund season at the trade deadline.
Early returns have been solid so far, going 2-1 since Feb. 9 with their lone loss coming without LeBron James, but they obviously still have some ground to make up.
