Hate to see how some fans don't care to see loyalty in the NBA.
When players do that they are accused of being greedy and only caring about money.

That's because he's actually a star player who can impact a teams W/L record. Not like some stat padders on trash teams that I won't mention. Would love him on the Lakers.

I agree
He hasn’t spoken at all about wanting to the leave the team...is actually trying to stay loyal and build with the wizards
And fans want him to pull a Paul George etc

There's no proof of loyalty or lack thereof either way. Beal signed a a two-year, $72 million contract extension that begins in the 2021-22 season with a player option for 2022-23 that makes him ineligible to be traded until after this season. If he stays the 2 years, he'll be eligible for a supermax contract with Washington at $266 million over 5 years or a inferior 4-year $198 million deal if he signs elsewhere. That's $68 million dollars less to sign with another team.
So: (1) it's pointless to demand a trade knowing he can't be traded; and (2) after this season, if he believes he's a supermax candidate, then why would he leave $68 million on the table by demanding a trade beforehand?

Where do you want to see him play?
He’d be great in Philly. Something around Tobias + Josh Richardson? Crazy money but Washington would have a more complete team with Wall, Harris, JRich.
