In the hours before the trade deadline, Patrick Beverley saw himself traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Milwaukee Bucks. A day after this move was made, his new team is set to take the floor against the Charlotte Hornets.
Patrick Beverley is available to make his Bucks debut tonight against the Hornets. Thursday marked the second straight year Beverley was dealt at the deadline. Last year, the LA Lakers traded him to the Orlando Magic for Mo Bamba. He was everntually bought of his contract and joined the Chicago Bulls.

Patrick Beverley was assured he wasn't getting traded
After breaking the news of his own trade, Patrick Beverley hopped on his podcast to discuss his change of scenery. During the episode, he dropped some information that many found interesting.
Leading up to the deadline, Beverley went to Philadlephia 76ers GM Daryl Morey and asked if he was being traded. He was told no, which has now proven to be false. This intercation was capped off by his co-host calling Morey a liar. Fans quickly began drawing comparisons to James Harden, who made a similar remark during the offseason after he requested a trade.
