After several flirtations over the years, the Bulls are finally poised to sign Patrick Beverley to shore up the point guard position for their stretch run.
"I am Chicago. I’m from Chicago. I bleed Chicago. I really think I can help the city. I think I can save the city,” Beverley said in a 2019 interview with the Chicago Tribune. “I inspire already. And I’d be a great inspiration just walking around the city of Chicago, knowing I’m from there, knowing that someone made it out and you can go and do the same."
Beverley, 34, started 45 games for the Lakers this season and is known for his ebullient personality, trash-talking defense and toughness. Beverley played in Greece and Russia for three years before latching on to the Houston Rockets for the 2012-13 season. "I feel like any team I’m on, I can help take that team to the playoffs,” Beverley said in that 2019 interview with the Chicago Tribune. “Just me, my attitude, what I bring defensively, my grit and grind, my ability to playmake, rebound and make shots, the leader I am, I’m excited to see what door opens."While Beverley isn't a prototypical point guard, his ability to push pace, defend and playmake while not taking shots away from primary scorers projects to be a fit.
The Bulls have plagued by lapses and inconsistency all season, losing five games this season in which they led by 16 points or more. Currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, they need a jolt.
