Patrick Beverley seems to be annoying off the court as he is on the court.
There was serious consideration to boycotting the rest of the NBA players and meetings in place to try to come to some middle ground but that is when it got heated.
Michele Roberts, the executive director of the players’ union, asked to have the floor to speak about the financial ramifications of leaving Orlando.
While she was going over the numbers, Clippers guard Patrick Beverley abruptly interrupted her, saying he disagreed with her logic, sources said. Roberts kindly reiterated that these were potential losses the players would suffer, and Beverley interrupted again.
Roberts asked politely if she could continue with her point, and Beverley responded, “No, I pay your salary,” sources said.
This caused an uproar with Paul, Haslem and others, who intervened and told Beverley that disrespect would not be tolerated, sources said.
More highlights from the meeting.
- Everyone was mad at Bucks and George Hill for making the decision without consulting them.
- Udonis Haslem was concerned about young players losing money.
- If LeBron left the bubble the season would have been over.
The players plan on playing but it seems like the Bubble season is holding on by a thread at the moment.
