According to Patrick Beverley himself, he is very much open to playing for the Milwaukee Bucks next season. The feisty veteran is going to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, which means that rival teams who are interested in his services will be free to pursue Beverley to the best of their ability.
At this point, however, the oddsmakers believe that Pat Bev is destined to run it back with the Bucks in 2024-25.
Milwaukee Bucks Favored to Re-Sign Patrick Beverley
The general belief right now is that Milwaukee is the frontrunner to re-sign Beverley to a contract extension this summer. The bookmakers believe that the Bucks have a significant advantage over opposing teams such as the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers:
The Milwaukee Bucks are the favorites to win the Patrick Beverley sweepstakes this summer, per @BovadaOfficial

Miami Heat +850
Los Angeles Lakers +850
Phoenix Suns +850
Golden State Warriors +850

You have to note that these are some pretty early odds, and this could all change in an instant. At this point, the Bucks cannot rest on their laurels if they’re serious about re-signing Beverley to an extension.
Patrick Beverley Hints at Bucks Exit
In a recent episode of his podcast, Beverley stated how much he enjoys playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the squad. He also hinted, however, that he is very much open to signing with a different team:

There’s no guarantee that Beverley will be back next season, so the Bucks better act fast if they are indeed interested in retaining the services of the former All-Defense guard.
