Daily News | Patrick Beverley says James Harden was a factor in picking the Sixers, and he wants him to stay
They are close friends and were Houston Rockets teammates during Beverley’s first five seasons in the NBA. Their mothers are best friends.. But that doesn’t guarantee the guards will reunite. Harden and the Sixers have been working together to find a new team for the 10-time All-Star via a trade.Advertisement
“One of my decisions coming here was because James Harden was here. So I hope he stays. Hope that everybody can kind of work something out and put that behind us and kind of move forward. I think it’s important.” Beverley, who turns 35 Wednesday, received a one-year deal for $3.1 million. Reserve center Mo Bamba, who also signed Sunday, got a one-year contract for around $2.3 million.The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder is one of the league’s biggest antagonists and has been widely considered the heart and soul of almost every team he played for.
Beverley was a 38.2% shooter from three-point range in his first nine seasons. However, he shot 34.3% with the Timberwolves during the 2021-22 season. Beverley shot 33.5% last season in 67 combined games with the Lakers and Bulls “I mean you put all that on one team. You add, obviously, the new coaching [staff] You add the dog mentality of me and P.J. Tucker around young guys to kind of mold them on how to be pros in this league. I think a lot of teams in the NBA wish they had what the Sixers have.”However, he’s aware of the Sixers’ history of second-round exits. Their last three seasons concluded with three straight losses in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
