Fans reacted to Beverley’s post.
@TheMidRangeNews: “We been knowing Pat Bev, there’s no way the Knicks seem their playoff run and ain’t got rid of Julius, they just better and look more cohesive without him.
Minny’s decision to break up the roster is questionable but let’s not act like they ain’t win this trade value-wise, Donte is a stud, and that Detroit 1st very valuable with the new CBA.”
@GeeBaby_1997: “Why would Minnesota do that????
And why not send Rudy”
@BronGotGame: “They ain’t even let KAT know after he gave them 9 yrs 🤦🏽♂️”

He finished last year with averages of 21.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per contest while shooting 50.4% from the field and 41.6% from the three-point range in 62 games.
As for Beverley, he played 12 seasons in the NBA.
