Patrick Beverley Trade Rumors: Rockets Reportedly Shopping Guard Ahead of Draft

Adam WellsJun 20, 2017

With two days to go before the 2017 NBA draft, the Houston Rockets are reportedly shopping veteran guard Patrick Beverley

Per Sean Deveney of the Sporting News, the Rockets are "actively shopping" Beverley to possibly create salary-cap space to pursue free agents, and he's helping to consult the team about a potential move. 

Beverley has been the subject of trade rumors and speculation for more than one year.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported in Feb. 2016 the Rockets were making calls prior to the trade deadline to gauge teams' interest in acquiring Beverley. 

ESPN.com's Calvin Watkins reported last February the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers expressed interest in trading for Beverley, though nothing ultimately came of those discussions. 

Beverley is owed $5.5 million next season with a player option for 2018-19, per Spotrac. The 28-year-old averaged 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 67 games last season.
