Dallas Mavericks fans can hear from free agent guard Patrick Beverley on the rumors that he is coming to Dallas and his tweet to Luka Doncic here.

Dallas Mavericks fans love a free agency rumor this time of year. The Mavs are going to have cap space this summer and a desire to build around Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis.

Supporters have seen plenty of rumors already. From the Mavericks being interested in Kemba Walker and Khris Middleton to their desire to sign Tobias Harris, the rumors have been heavy.

Not often do fans get to hear directly from the player, but that happened on May 11.

Mavs in on Pat Bev?

Patrick Beverley has been linked to signing with the Mavericks during free agency this summer. The original rumor came out of a Marc Stein interview on the Ben and Show show. Fans can listen to the full interview here or read more about the rumor by clicking this link.

Beverley further ramped up the speculation by sending a tweet to Luka Doncic. Supporters can read that story here.

Beverley in his own words

Pat Bev did a Q&A with NBA.com on May 11 where he hit on a myriad of topics including the Mavericks free agency rumors. Here is a link to the entire conversation. Fans should read the full article for context.

He is an honest player that genuinely seems interested in playing for the Mavs. Beverley would help the team on both ends of the floor. He is not ready to make any decision yet. The Mavericks will have to bring a competitive offer to the table too. It should be interesting to see how it all plays out in July.

Final thoughts

Dallas Mavericks fans got an answer from Patrick Beverley on his tweet to Luka Doncic and the free agency rumors. Apparently, Luka followed him, so Pat Bev sent the emoji-filled message. The guard seemed opened to joining the Mavs this summer if Dallas made him a strong offer.

The Mavericks are going to be looking for ways to spend that cap space this summer. Expect them to shoot for the All-Star talents first, but securing Patrick Beverley and others would be a stellar consolation prize.

It will be a wild offseason of rumors and news, so keep checking back to The Smoking Cuban frequently to never miss a second.
