Bradley Beal and the Wizards are reportedly at an impasse in contract-extension negotiations and now we know why.
via J. Michael of CSN Washington:
Bradley Beal has made it clear. He thinks he’s a max player, and that’s what he wants. I’ve talked to people on both sides all offseason about this. It seems to be Bradley Beal’s decision. The Wizards are willing to make him an offer an extension. But they’re not going to offer him the maximum extension right now simply because they don’t have to.
The Wizards are taking the right approach.
Beal might be worth a max contract next summer. More likely, he’ll probably command one from someone. So many teams will have max cap space.
But wait until then.
