Seems like a classic case of the truth leaking out before the player was ready to announce. Beal didn’t deny anything.

Unless the 76ers move Harris and Green for no money than it will be near impossible for them to get far enough under the tax apron to be able to do a sign and trade.

Why are you guys surprised. He was never gonna opt in. Doesn’t mean he’s leaving

Wizards GM should get fired if he offers this

Agreed, we shall see. I don't even want Beal, but I know that Embiid wanted him over Harden, and they have the same trainer, and Morey was said to be star hunting this summer as well. Just find it amusing, that Philly wasn't listed as it was one of the places Beal was connected to.

It is to the point where both sides should move on. Wizards arent winning with him. Time for them to move on

I honestly have no clue what they're doing/building in Washington.

If the Wizards are smart, Wizards should move on from Beal

I mean I know it won't happen, but wouldn't it be funny if he opted out expecting that supermax and the Wizards were just like "nah, we'll be fine"?

Meh, that would not mean anything since another team could give him the supermax

3rd option? He had a down year but literally averaged an efficient 31ppg the previous 2 years

Who says that they can't win with him. He really hasn't had a chance since Wall got hurt. The roster was trash for the most part

Way better actually.

He's still going to make the Wizards sweat because a person can easily change their mind.

Not with a 34% 3PT% over the last 4 seasons. He shot only 30% this season. That's definitely not good enough for someone like Beal. Needs to be closer to 40%.

Klay's career AVERAGE is 41%. Boom goes the dynamite.

It smells like chapter 3 with first two Arenas and Wall
