A fan wrote to Beverley on Twitter that he should ignore the report and wasn't going to be traded. Well, he responded by tweeting: "Naw I wouldn't say that!!!"

When another fan said he should come home, Beverley wrote: "I know right. That would be dope."

Beverley, born in Chicago, has a cap-friendly contract as he is set to make $5.51 million in 2017-18 and $5.02 million in 2018-19, although the final season of his contract is not guaranteed.

Beverley, a five-year NBA veteran, has spent his entire career with the Rockets.

In 2016-17, Beverley averaged 9.5 points, 4.2 assists and 5.9 rebounds.
