Marquee summer move: Extending max extension to Bradley Beal
The Washington Wizards are coming off back-to-back disappointing seasons. After falling one game short of clinching a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Wizards simply having been the same team.
And, now, with John Wall coming off a torn Achilles injury, they may never be. The hope for Washington this summer is that Bradley Beal signs his contract extension. However, they shouldn’t bet on it happening.
Not because Beal doesn’t want to be a Wizard, but because it really doesn’t make much sense for Beal to sign an extension this summer. Nevertheless, the Wizards need to prove to Beal that they’re headed in the right direction. If not, we could have another disgruntled star to hit the trade block sooner rather than later.
