Sixers, Beverely Agree on Contract – Veteran point guard Patrick Beverley agreed to a one-year, $3.2 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, per Chris Haynes of B/R and TNT. The 34-year-old is the exception to the rule when it comes to teams going bargain-hunting in the buyout market after the trade deadline. Beverley was sacrificed amid the Los Angeles Lakers‘ midseason reset, getting sent to the Orlando Magic in February. In 45 games with the Lakers, he averaged 6.4 points and 2.6 assists and shot 40.2 percent from the field. The Magic waived Beverley a few days after the trade, and he signed with the Chicago Bulls on Feb. 21, bringing the Windy City native back to his hometown. His numbers to finish out the year weren’t all that impressive. He shot 39.5 percent from the floor, including 30.9 percent on threes, while averaging 5.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
