The Wizards made Bradley Beal the most powerful player in the NBA with a five-year max contract that includes a no-trade clause. Will they regret it?
At this stage in his career, still without a proper support system as the face of a perpetually flailing organization that’s never really stopped splashing its arms, Beal’s five-year max is this anticlimactic mark of hopelessness, an appendix both sides were resigned to accept.Now, on top of that, he’s the only active NBA player whose front office needs permission to pick up the phone and say his name, which begs a couple questions and begets some fair criticism.
—is probably their second-best player. They won’t have meaningful cap space for another couple years—when Beal may start looking for greener grass—and can’t trade a first-round pick until 2028.not to warrant a perk that’s hardly ever given out for completely understandable reasons. The most pertinent being—apologies for yelling—THE WIZARDS ARE BAD AND VERY LIKELY TO TRADE BRADLEY BEAL SOMEDAY! And when that day comes they are all but guaranteed not to get the best package possible because Beal can nix whatever destination he doesn’t like, severely damaging Washington’s foothold in any negotiation.
In other words, the Wizards just made someone who has never reached the conference finals and last won a playoff series in 2017 the most powerful player in the NBA. Instead of trading him for a haul and setting out on a genuine rebuild, they buckled under the weight of their own futile obsession with the fringes of relevance someone that talented ostensibly opens the door to. The writing was on the wall several years ago.
Now, some might call Beal’s contract the worst in the league, but that characterization feels too general . Instead, few are more destabilizing, because the team that offered it was too narrow minded to detect the other hands they had to play.
