Patrick Beverley

The Lakers are set to acquire veteran guard Patrick Beverley from the Utah Jazz for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson.

“I feel like every situation that I’ve been in is almost like a learning experience, and being on the ball, off the ball is just an experience that you need,” Horton-Tucker said after the season. In the 2013 playoffs, Beverley went to steal the ball while Westbrook was stopping to call timeout, injuring Westbrook’s knee in the process. Beverley, 34, played in 58 games last season with the Minnesota Timberwolves after spending four years as an emotional leader for the Clippers. He started 27 games and averaged 6.7 points. Beverley has had some durability problems, playing more than 60 games only once in the past five seasons. During that period, Beverley embodied the Clippers’ toughness and fearlessness, helping them remain a playoff contender.

So, in this instance, one move has nothing to do with the other. Utah acquired Beverley from the [Minnesota Timberwolves](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/timberwolves/) in the [Rudy Gobert](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/rudy-gobert-HoB7w4Z5ROZnzHO4/) trade this offseason. As of now, he’ll likely come off the bench, backing up Westbrook, but that would likely change in the scenario that the Lakers trade Westbrook. He was the No. Westbrook would miss the remainder of the playoffs and the Thunder lost in the next round. As Westbrook slowed to call for a midcourt timeout, Beverley attempted a steal and sideswiped Westbrook, tearing the meniscus in Westbrook’s right knee in the process. He can start or come off the bench, shape-shifting to the needs of a given lineup. Beverley — at 34 years old — fits the Lakers, and 21-year-old Horton-Tucker fits the Jazz. The Lakers and Jazz have been linked in recent weeks due to Utah’s impending fire sale, and Beverley was one of the popular trade candidates. But Beverley has the skill set that the Lakers were looking for. Beverley averaged 9.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 58 games last season with the Timberwolves. [Stanley Johnson](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/stanley-johnson-m1sAGyzX1qXm8fbR/) is also heading to Utah in the deal, league sources told The Athletic’s Tony Jones.

The Lakers are acquiring veteran point guard Patrick Beverley from the Utah Jazz in exchange for guard Talen Horton-Tucker and forward Stanley Johnson.

However, the Lakers became more open to the idea of trading Horton-Tucker when he became their only tradable asset during last season's free-fall. The Lakers obviously made this move in an attempt to contend this season. Los Angeles had previously resisted the idea of trading the 21-year-old Horton-Tucker, The veteran guard is a three-time All-Defensive Team selection and is an experienced playoff performer, having started 54 of his 65 career games in the playoffs. The 34-year-old guard previously played for the Clippers for four seasons from 2017 until 2021 before he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves last offseason. To top it off, Beverley seemed to potentially hint at a looming trade to the Lakers on Aug.

He was included as part of the Rudy Gobert trade in July that sent the center to Minnesota in exchange for Beverley, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro ...

In 60 games last year, Horton-Tucker averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 26.9% from deep. The deal will mark the second time this offseason that the veteran Beverley will be traded. He has one year remaining on his contract, and will make $13 million next season. He averaged 9.2 points and 4.6 assists per game while shooting 34.3% on three-point attempts. Horton-Tucker, 21, was a second-round pick in 2019 who developed into a role player during the Lakers’ championship season in 2020. This will be Beverley’s third different team in as many seasons.

After his lone season with the Timberwolves, the 34-year-old out of the University of Arkansas was dealt to the Jazz as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Rudy Gobert to Minnesota. A career 37.8% shooter from long range on volume, and a committed defender (more on that in a minute), the self-proclaimed "Mr. Johnson emerged as a surprisingly-important midseason addition to the Lakers last year. [tweets](https://twitter.com/jovanbuha/status/1562652801192185856), this will open up the Lakers' salary space next summer, with L.A. His ability to frenetically defend both forward spots endeared himself to a very old Lakers team desperate for energy on that end of the floor. Should Pelinka not find a deal he loves in time, Beverley at present is a better fit for this Lakers roster than Westbrook, and would make more sense as a starter should the latter player remain on the team into the beginning of the season. Adding a competent, experienced point guard in Beverley addresses a huge need for the Lakers, and frees up team president Rob Pelinka to look beyond positional need in any future hypothetical Brodie trade. The Lakers went 33-49 during Westbrook's first (and quite possibly last) season with his hometown team in 2021-22. Earlier this week, Charania [hinted](https://www.si.com/nba/lakers/news/lakers-targeting-patrick-beverley-and-bojan-bogdanovic-in-utah-trade-talks-ee21) that the Lakers would be interested in trying to add Beverley or another valuable Jazz vet, Bojan Bogdanovic. [Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3536939/2022/08/24/jazz-lakers-patrick-beverley-trade/) also reported that a trade is imminent. [that one](https://www.si.com/nba/lakers/news/lakers-rumors-insider-notes-only-variable-holding-up-a-russell-westbrook-trade-ee21). [Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34455979/los-angeles-lakers-finalizing-deal-acquire-patrick-beverley-utah-jazz-sources-say) reports that L.A.

L.A. is adding a veteran who could help energize the rotation and do the little things needed to win.

But his shot is suspect, and he needs to keep learning the basics from a lot of reps. [Austin Reaves](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/austin-reaves-tXhYjgbjhuu4Ro1r/), [Lonnie Walker IV](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/lonnie-walker-iv-2sfXhCJcdZ77aJbu/) and maybe [Kendrick Nunn](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/kendrick-nunn-rjceJWYw6Ch2xsmM/) as the main guys. Horton-Tucker is a good-sized wing with long arms and some talent with the ball. [Kevin Durant](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/kevin-durant-ho6h1sijyi2PAURU/) [has decided to stay](https://theathletic.com/3532140/2022/08/23/kevin-durant-nets-amick/) in Brooklyn, the [NBA](https://theathletic.com/nba/) hits us with a trade. As for Horton-Tucker, the Jazz need to get back to their roots as a talent-developing organization. Beverley isn’t the type of guard to break down a defender off the dribble and create for others, but he makes smart, simple plays with the ball most of the time. They’re hoping Horton-Tucker is still young enough and with enough potential to feel like they’re getting a draft pick here. [Russell Westbrook](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/russell-westbrook-6Eb0XPY16UzzJWbc/) on the same team is objectively hilarious. They even refused to include him in a trade last year for [Kyle Lowry](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/kyle-lowry-DC86wFvd82ETJxge/) at the deadline. The Jazz are jettisoning a veteran received in the Horton-Tucker was a nice wing for them, but his role and consistency were constantly in flux.

Beverley is known for his intensity and defense, two areas the Lakers struggled with last season as they missed the playoffs. The hard-working 26-year-old was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise disappointing 2021-22 season for the Lakers. Now he will have a chance to prove himself in Utah. The Lakers need players who can knock down their shots, and Beverley is solid from three-point range: across his entire regular-season [according to ESPN](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34455979/los-angeles-lakers-finalizing-deal-acquire-patrick-beverley-utah-jazz-sources-say).

The Lakers were hesitant to move Horton-Tucker in the past, but in Beverley they got a player who is better equipped to contribute to a team under a lot of pressure to make a playoff run. The Lakers were high on Horton-Tucker for quite some time, and now the Jazz will hope that he continues to improve. Horton-Tucker could prove to be the better player in the long-run, but the Lakers are in win-now mode, and that's why the move was made. Stanley Johnson is a serviceable role player, but it remains to be seen just how big of a role he'll have in Utah. He averaged 10 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 25.2 minutes per game for the Lakers last season -- numbers that could possibly improve in an expanded role on a rebuilding Jazz team. It will be interesting to see how well Westbrook and Beverley are able to coexist in the locker room, as the two have had He's not the type of player that needs to have a lot of plays ran for him to be effective, which is good because the Lakers already have a couple of those. [Russell Westbrook](/nba/players/1622555/russell-westbrook/) is no secret and now that Beverley is in town they have someone who can take his place in the starting lineup. Danny Ainge started a tear down with the Gobert trade and there was no reason to keep Beverley around as they join the race to the bottom and expected No. But with the Jazz embarking on a rebuild -- star guard [Donovan Mitchell](/nba/players/2842760/donovan-mitchell/) may be traded at some point this offseason as well -- Beverley was a prime candidate to be rerouted to another team. A veteran and one of the toughest perimeter defenders in the league, Beverley makes much more sense on this Lakers roster. With both of those players now seemingly staying in Brooklyn, it will be interesting to see if the proverbial dam breaks and more moves follow this Beverley trade.

Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson are headed to Utah in the deal.

For now, the Lakers have $34MM in cap room for the summer of 2023, per ESPN’s Bobby Marks ( [Twitter link](https://twitter.com/BobbyMarks42/status/1562684327837958145)), which will be a factor the team considers as its weighs additional trades.

The former second-round pick had an up-and-down 2021/22 season for the Lakers, averaging 10.0 PPG, 3.2 RPG, and 2.7 APG in 60 games (25.2 MPG), but struggling to score efficiently, with a modest shooting line of .416/.269/.800. Horton-Tucker is still only 21 years old, so the Jazz presumably view the athletic wing as a player with some untapped potential. [Donovan Mitchell](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/mitchdo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-) remains a trade candidate, and the Jazz would likely be open to discussing deals involving veterans like [Bojan Bogdanovic](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bogdabo02.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-), [Jordan Clarkson](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/clarkjo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-), [Malik Beasley](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/beaslma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-), [Mike Conley](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/conlemi01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-), and [Rudy Gay](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/gayru01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-) as well.

The former lottery pick was selected No. He did average 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.0 steals, last season, but suffered per-36 declines in each of those categories from the year before. Because the Lakers were, as usual, in a tight situation up against the cap, they initially could only sign THT to a two-year deal. Then, when Charania leaked the news that the first Lakers vs. Clippers game of the 2022-23 NBA season take place on Oct. Horton-Tucker was an intriguing prospect after playing a single season at Iowa State, and was the youngest player in the 2019 NBA Draft. Horton-Tucker, meanwhile, increasingly found himself supplanted in the rotation by the likes of low-cost free-agent signee Malik Monk, and even undrafted rookie Austin Reaves. However, his defensive toughness and versatility soon endeared him to the Lakers coaching staff, and after fulfilling three separate 10-day contracts with the team, he was signed for the remainder of the season — a deal that included a team option for 2022-23, which the Lakers picked up ahead of free agency. No picks will be included in the deal. [first-year Jazz coach Will Hardy](https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/07/06/who-is-will-hardy-meet-shot/) will get at least one season to see what he can do with Horton-Tucker — the third season of the guard’s contract is a player option. It didn’t work out that way. However, the progress he showed as a sophomore — averaging 9.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steals per game — put the Lakers in a tough spot, as they risked letting him leave for nothing after the season, as a former second-round pick.

The Los Angeles Lakers acquired guard Patrick Beverley from the Utah Jazz for Talen-Horton Tucker and Stanley Johnson.

Beverley is on a one-year, $13 million contract, and after next season, the Lakers will have just four players signed for the 2023-24 season (James, Davis, Damian Jones, Max Christie), giving the franchise an opportunity to rebuild the roster next summer.

When Westbrook and the Thunder met Beverley and the Rockets in the first round of the 2017 NBA Playoffs, the script had flipped.
