Bradley Beal Stays with Washington Wizards for $251 Million Contract

Bradley Beal rejected a player option for one year worth $36 million and signed a new supermax contract worth a total of $251 million. Beals had a wrist injury last season and underwent season-ending surgery in February. He averaged 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game in 40 games last year.

Bradley Beal has been accepted by Washington Wizards since he was a rookie. Beals has signed a $251 million contract.

Beal is one of the best players in the league, but he plays for a team that will never have a legit shot at winning the title. The Wizards do not attract top-end free agents these days. Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Kuzma, Will Barton, and Monte Morris were brought in via trades. Denver Nuggets acquired Kentavious Caldwell-Pope from the Wizards in exchange for Barton and Morris. Wizards also selected Johnny Davis from Wisconsin with the #10 pick in NBA Draft. Beal underwent surgery and sacrificed a half of a season so he would not have lingering wrist injury the remainder of his career.
