As soon as the Free Agency opened, Bradley Beal signed an XXL contract with the Washington Wizards. $251 million over 5 years, the biggest possible deal for the 29-year-old guard. A choice that raised questions regarding the intentions of the native of Saint-Louis.
Indeed, for many observers, Beal favored money over sports. And for his part, the player made a revelation: he studied his options on the market before extending with the formation of DC. Obviously, his leads were limited…
“Of course, I was human and I thought regarding leaving. I asked myself questions regarding the possibility of seeing something else in other teams, seeing my options. I really did.
And like I said, the market was as it was, so it wasn’t very promising. I mightn’t necessarily go where I wanted to,” thus let it be known Bradley Beal for the JJ Redick Podcast.
A very interesting confidence. Between the lines, we understand that no contender for the NBA title had the intention of recovering it by lining up a huge check. Faced with this situation, Bradley Beal therefore chose continuity in Washington. By signing the biggest contract of his career.
