The NBA is over for Patrick Beverley for now, Patrick Beverley will now play for the Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv.
The Patrick Beverly news was a bit out of left field but he said they gave him everything he asked for so he couldn’t say no.
I'm surprised to read today that the contract which included everything he asked for was only $2,000,000 per year for 2 years. His last NBA contract had to be for significantly more than that, right? I'm pretty sure that's below the veterans minimum in the NBA. I guess that means not a single team in the NBA was interested in signing Pat Bev. That, or the Israeli's are giving him some incredible perks outside of his compensation, which is more likely in my opinion than no team in the NBA wanting him for the league minimum.
Edit: Looks like I'm not the only one who thought Embiid wasn't making the expected effort in these exhibition games.

But I guess he decide to go on Europe and continue his journey there.
By the way this is good article to read about that news
