NBA Free Agency: 5 Things to Know About Patrick Beverley

The Rondo experiment went down in flames two games into the playoffs, so the Dallas Mavericks’ search for a long-term solution point guard continues, as it has ever since Jason Kidd left. Devin Harris has shown himself to be a capable and versatile backup for both guard positions, but the Mavericks will likely look to find another starting point guard this offseason.

Patrick Beverley would seem to fill many of the roles the Mavericks are looking for in a starting point guard, but there are a lot of moving parts that would have to align for him to end up with the team.
