Beverley hasn’t been in the league this season, but when he was asked what team he would like to play for right now, he said he would like to suit up for the Phoenix Suns because he wants to see how Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal prepare, per NBA Central.
Beverley started his NBA career with the Houston Rockets during the 2012-13 season, the same season the Rockets traded for James Harden, and he spent each of his first five seasons with them.
He was then traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2017, and soon afterward, he got to spend a couple of seasons playing with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
The 6-foot-2 guard played for five different teams in his last three seasons, and each of those teams had at least one bona fide star.
The Suns assembled what many consider to be a superteam in 2023 by trading for Durant and Beal, but they have struggled to stay healthy over the last season and change, and coming into Monday’s game versus the Denver Nuggets, they have a disappointing 14-13 record.
If the regular season were to end today, they wouldn’t even reach the play-in tournament.
The Suns are just 24th in defensive rating, so perhaps they could use someone such as Beverley to harass opponents on that end of the floor.
