The Chicago Bulls have an offseason full of decisions in front of them. Arturas Karnisovas has made it clear that he wants to compete for a playoff spot with the current iteration of the roster, and if that’s the case, they will need to improve the roster around the edges. That may involve adding players from the outside, but it also means retaining the important players who are free agents this summer.
One of those guys is Patrick Beverley, who Chicago acquired at the deadline. He immediately made an impact. Beverley started in all 22 games he played for the Bulls, and they went 13-9. Now, he’ll be an unrestricted free agent, but some recent news indicates that, at the very least, he’s likely not planning on returning to Los Angeles.
According to Realtor.com, Beverley just recently rented out his home in California for $23,000 a month. The listing appears to have been snatched up already.
Beverley spent the first portion of this past season with the Los Angeles Lakers before being moved at the trade deadline in a deal with the Orlando Magic for Mo Bamba. He was then bought out by the Magic and subsequently signed with Chicago.
With Lonzo Ball sidelined, the Bulls need as much help at the point guard position as they can get. Beverley isn’t necessarily a traditional one, but his defense and three-point shooting make him a valuable asset.
Add in the fact that he’s a tremendous veteran leader and vocal presence on the floor, and the Bulls should absolutely look to bring him back this offseason.
