Patrick Beverley is set to be acquired by the Lakers

According to reports, the Los Angeles Lakers are going to strengthen their defensive capabilities.

According to reports from ESPN and The Athletic on the evening of Wednesday, August 24, Patrick Beverley, who has been named to the All-Defensive Team three times, would be traded from the Utah Jazz to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Talen Horton-Tucker.

Stanley Johnson is reportedly going to be in Utah as well, as reported by ESPN.

Beverley would be returned to the team that chose him in the second round from the University of Arkansas in the 2009 draft as a result of the trade. Beverley was never able to play for the Lakers since his rights were instantly traded to the Heat; yet, he was also never able to play for the Heat.

In the beginning of his professional career, the 6-foot-1 guard played for teams in Ukraine, Greece, and Russia.

Beverley made his long-awaited debut in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in January 2013 with the Houston Rockets, where he played for a total of five seasons. Four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers followed before Beverley spent last season with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
