The Houston Rockets have clearly prioritized defense over the last few seasons. That explains why they've apparently had some interest in reuniting with Patrick Beverley.
Any fan who watched the team during Beverley's tenure knows what I'm talking about. There's effort, and then there's Patrick Beverley. You could have been watching the NBA for 30 years. If you count him as the most dogged perimeter defender you ever watched, that's reasonable. Now, Beverley is saying that he almost signed with his original NBA team this offseason.
Beverley didn't play in the NBA last season, but he did suit up for the Bucks and 76ers in 2023-24.
