Beverly wanted to return to Bucks and asked for a raise. One thing failed him

Patrick Beverly will become a free player during the offseason this year. He said that if it was up to him, he would prefer to return to the Milwaukee Bucks next season. In a podcast called Pat Bev hosted by Beverly himself, Beverly mentioned his idea of returning to the Bucks, and said that if he re signed with the Bucks, he expected his annual salary to rise slightly.

Beverly said in the program: "I like to play with Portis, Lillard, Brother Alphabet and Middleton, which is cool and feels great. I want to stay in Milwaukee, I want to see what will happen here, but you know I also played well in the playoffs, so there should be some salary increases, but this is a business problem."

The 35 year old defender signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers last summer, but was traded to the Bucks in February this year in exchange for Cameron Payne and a second round draft right. But the problem is that Beverly may not be able to get what he wants from the Bucks. Although he has performed quite well in this year's playoffs, with an average of 8.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and a three-point shooting rate of 36.4%, his outstanding performance on the field has been covered by his irrational behavior outside the field.

The former Defensive Team of the Year winner for a while quarreled with a Indiana Pacers fan at the end of the sixth game of the Eastern Playoffs, and snubbed an ESPN reporter for not subscribing to his own podcast when he was interviewed, so he was also criticized on social media.

Because Beverly was involved in various controversial behaviors, the league imposed a four game suspension on him. If he stayed in the NBA in the new season, the suspension of these four games will be immediately executed. For this reason alone, the Bucks may not continue to keep him.
