Bradley Beal: We're Going In The Right Direction, But Still Have Improvements To Make
Bradley Beal reaffirmed he's not asking to leave the Washington Wizards in the near future. Beal said the Wizards are "going in the right direction, but still have a lot of improvements to make".
In a wide-ranging podcast appearance, Beal spoke of his commitment to Washington as being something he's proud of. He also said things need to continue to improve if he's to stay long-term. Beal also realizes he's got something special as the franchise centerpiece for the Wizards.
“Honestly, realizing that a franchise is willing to build around you. It’s not always like that everywhere. Like, if I go somewhere else, they’re just not going to build around you. They’ll build around what they have," Beal said. "There’s nothing absolutely nothing wrong with that, but if I have the chance to create my own legacy and make it work here with the team that drafted me, then why not give it a shot? It it works, it works, If it doesn’t, I can say ‘At least I tried.’ That’s just who I am. That’s my blessing and curse, my loyalty. We’re transitioning, we’re going in the right direction, but we still have a lot of improvements to make.”
