The Washington Wizards have decided to make the best offer they can to shooting guard Bradley Beal.
Beal, who has been the subject of various trade rumors throughout the NBA offseason, has been made a priority by the Washington front office, who will try to do all in its power to keep him in DC through the summer of 2024.
The University of Florida alum’s current contract with the team only runs through the end of next season, at which point he would be due to hit the free-agent market.
If he were to accept Washington’s upcoming contract extension offer, he would be set to earn $111 million over the final three years of his deal.
Beal could, however, wait to sign an extension until next summer, which would run for a length of 4 additional years and be worth $155. If he were to earn All-NBA honors, that supermax extension would be worth a gargantuan $254 million over five years.
The 7-year NBA veteran has never made an All-Pro team, but he has made the Eastern Conference All-Star squad the last two seasons. He averaged 25.6 points per game on 48% shooting in a career year last season.
