Bradley Beal Will Opt Out of $36.4M Player Option; Will Enter Free Agency; Pelton: Expected to re-sign with Wizards

[Blame Rasho]

And one year later will kindly request a trade to another team.

You got to get that trade kicker in contract as well

Yes, it's a business and everyone thinks about money. Some, however, are on the very extreme end of obsession. I would never want Bradley Beal on my team, he just doesn't care about basketball in comparison to money as much as 99% of the NBA.

These FOs are so bad - Beal needed to be traded way before $50 million a year was even considered.

There are guys you could bring in like Gary Harris that give you most of what Beal gives, for basically nothing compared to $50 million.

Seriously, what is going on with this? Who are they even fighting with? Who even has max cap space to offer Beal other than Detroit? Just say - sorry bro, you opted out. 4 years - 100 million sounds right.

[edmunder_prc]

Wizards on the same level of Kings in terms of Management.
$50M a year for Beal.

No one has money to offer him - WAS bidding against itself about 20 million more a year than he deserves. Open mark, UFA, no one is giving him even $40 million a year.

What's Beal make open market? Who even has the cap space and bids? I would be pissed if DET offered $35 million a year for 5 years. He's washed up and in year 4 and 5, he will likely be awful.

FOs make the NBA terrible.

So sorry WAS fans.

The Twitter guy strikes again.

I think it's safe to say Beal plays this out for a first year then if they can't compete he starts to get grumpy and eventually traded 2-3rd year into the contract. The usual modern day NBA superstar.

Also we already had a thread about this but gotta get those and 1s I guess.

There's no need to be insulting and make the trade hostile. -b

You think they would have realized with Wall previous contract that maybe giving every possible cent to a player who isn’t a MVP level player isn’t a good idea.

It won’t take that long.

Wizards should've traded him 2 seasons ago. He was never that guy, never will be that guy and this supermax just anchors the franchise. I can't even see the Wiz being a homecourt team any time soon.

Superstar is funny. How many teams are going to want a $50 million SG that isn't a great 3 point shooter or defender? Desperate franchises will offer poo poo platters for him in 2 years.

Not too suprising. Thee's not many teams that have enough salary cap room to get Beal anyway,tho he could've just wanted a 1-2 year deal if that was the only reason,instead of a 5 year deal. It appears he cares about having a huge paycheck than he does about winning. I don't see the Wizards contending anytime soon.

[VeggieBurger]

My dark horse team to get KD.

[MagicFan12345]

I guess Bradley cares about money more than winning

Re: Bradley Beal is expected to re-sign with Wizards.

Shocking!

[life_saver]

One would think that Wizards would have learnt from their mistake of giving supermax to Wall..

[dockingsched]

That extension is a crucial step towards Beal inevitably requesting a trade while also being paid, so do your thing Bradley.

No he is not better than prime Klay

No he isn't better then prime Klay. That's an asinine statement.

That said he can be a championship 2nd option. Depends who the #1 is. Middleton was a championship 2nd option and they're on a similar level offensively.

But 2nd option is different then 2nd best player on a title team. He's WAY to bad of a defender for that

Prime klay is a hall of fame player. Beal is a quarter step behind.

Klay is nothing special. A 3rd fiddle on a championship team. Beal could have did Klay’s role and more on those stacked Warriors teams
