Logan Rapp: Last question: Gun to your head, is Patrick Beverley re-signing or is someone going to steal him away?

Matt Chong: He’s coming back, baby. Pat’s making us all sweat a little, but he loves this city, his teammates, and the Clippers fans. Get the man his money and bring him back into the fold, Lawrence Frank.

Nate Jacobo: Someone is going to steal him away, there are teams looking at his postseason and ready to offer him a nice payday, teams like Dallas, Chicago, Phoenix and Indiana all have the cap room to add this culture setter. I would love to have Pat back though!

Randi Geffner: My heart says he stays.  My head says he will have to follow the money.  Let’s hope the money is thrown at him in L.A.

Logan Rapp: I think there’s a napkin deal already in place with Pat getting the MLE. Ballmer will not be concerned about paying more. That front office’s concern is only about timing for cap space. But Pat’s gonna have his fun and see what he can see. Dallas definitely wants him, but Mark Cuban… not the brightest billionaire in the bunch.

Nate: This is Pat’s first official free agency of his prime so yeah he’ll definitely have a lot of suitors this summer.

Logan Rapp: All right, before we go, I just wanna throw out one more video from the Clippers’ Twitter. Shouts to the social media team that has improved by leaps and bounds over the last couple of seasons. Now all they need is a joke writer to start fighting the Kings for the throne.

Matt Chong: I see what you did there.

Nate: They are actually hiring a Social Media Manager to run the LA Clippers account. You should apply Logan.

Logan Rapp: I might!
