Patrick Beverley Lands in Minnesota, Traded Twice in Two Days

Before Patrick Beverley could even pack his bags to go to Memphis, the 6'1 guard found out that he would instead be heading to the Twin Cities.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies to acquire Beverley. Minnesota will send Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernangomez to the Grizzlies in exchange for Beverley according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Memphis completed a trade with the LA Clippers on August 16th that saw Beverley, Rajon Rondo, and Daniel Oturu go to Memphis in exchange for guard Eric Bledsoe. Now, without an actual three-team deal, the two trades have turned the deals into the Grizzlies receiving Rondo, Oturu, Culver, and Hernangomez for Bledsoe.
