The Rockets have been actively shopping point guard Patrick Beverley, a source with knowledge of the situation told Sporting News on Tuesday.

Beverley, who averaged 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists last season, has been open to a trade away from Houston leading into this offseason, the source said, and has consulted with the team about the possible move. The Rockets could get a deal done before Thursday’s NBA Draft.

Beverley was originally brought to the NBA by the Rockets in 2012, while he was playing for St. Petersburg in Russia. He had been the Eurocup MVP for Spartak the previous season. He became the Rockets’ starting point guard the following year, and has held that spot since.

Last year, when the Rockets hired coach Mike D’Antoni, Beverley told Sporting News he considered seeking a trade, under the assumption that D’Antoni — known for his quickfire offense — would not welcome Beverley’s defense-first style. But after speaking with D’Antoni, who committed to Beverley as his point guard, he decided to give the new coach a try.

In April, D’Antoni said the team thrived off Beverley’s ability to make the big play. “He’s invaluable when he gets on the bus in the morning,” D’Antoni said. “There’s definitely no analytic number for that one.”

Beverley enjoyed playing for D’Antoni, he said multiple times last season. But other factors, the source said, have led the Rockets and Beverley to explore trade possibilities.

Beverley, a likely choice for one of the NBA’s All-Defensive teams, is entering the third year of a four-year, $25 million contract with Houston, and is scheduled to be paid $10.5 million over the next two years. The Rockets have been planning to pursue first-tier free agents this summer, and could be willing to move Beverley if it helps create cap space.
