Bradley Beal agrees to return to Wizards on max contract

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
The Wizards re-signing Bradley Beal continues a yearslong trend of the organization keeping players they want to keep. They have essentially batted 1.000 in re-signing their own players, from stars to key role players. – 6:07 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Bradley Beal will stay forever at Wizards. The new 5-year, $251M deal remains him in DC and keeps the leader in the team. Big deal for the Wizards! #DCAboveAll6:07 PM
Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Nikola Jokic and Bradley Beal now become the only players to ever sign a $250+ million contract. Insane. – 6:07 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96

Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo
Bradley Beal will re-sign with the Washington Wizards on a five-year deal worth $248 million, league sources tell me. – 6:01 PM
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
All-Star guard Bradley Beal has agreed to a five-year, $251 million maximum contract to stay with the Washington Wizards, his agent Mark Bartelstein of @Priority Sports tells ESPN. – 6:01 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Will be interesting to see the fine details of Bradley Beal’s new contract
Presume he gets the same player option in the last season and 15% trade kicker that Otto Porter Jr. and John Wall had – 5:32 PM

From PM: Heat gets meeting with Brunson. And Heat updates on Tucker, Beal, PF options, more: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col…9:04 AM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
I wonder if the Wizards will even use the full MLE (or 15th roster spot) because if Bradley Beal re-signs for the max, they may not be able to stay under the $150.3M luxury tax with two minimum contracts barring further moves. – 8:11 PM
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
NEW: Heat reportedly gets meeting with Jalen Brunson. Plus Heat-related updates on P.J. Tucker, Beal, free agent power forwards, more, with free agent floodgates sent to open in less than 24 hours: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col…6:46 PM

More on this storyline

 

Chase Hughes: NBA free agency begins today at 6 p.m. While all eyes are on Bradley Beal’s decision, I’m told Thomas Bryant is likely to sign with another team and is expected to have multiple suitors. That would leave the Wizards in the market for a third center. -via Twitter @ChaseHughesNBCS / June 30, 2022
Wizards All Star guard Bradley Beal declined his $36.4 million player option but has not requested a sign-and-trade to another team. The Heat would have interest in Beal if he asked to be traded to Miami. But as of Wednesday, he had not. -via Miami Herald / June 29, 2022
NBA Central: “Bradley Beal has indicated all along that his loyalties and wanting to see it through in Washington.” – @Adrian Wojnarowski (h/t @The Jump ) pic.twitter.com/f1xVtfwPsp -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / June 29, 2022
