On February 10, Beijing time, according to ESPN, some team stars hope to push Bradley Beal away from the Wizards! But Beal wanted to stay on and work with management to build a competitive roster, and he made the Wizards his home.
Previously, according to the official announcement of the Wizards, Bill underwent surgery for a torn interosseous ligament in his left wrist and was reimbursed for the season! Sources revealed that Beal has the right to jump out of the contract at the end of the season to become an unrestricted free agent, and if he makes this choice, the Wizards intend to sign him to a 5-year, $241 million contract!
According to Wizards reporter Chase Hughes, Beal has been considering a maximum-salary contract all season, but he has not made it clear that he must get it. Beal's agent has met with team management and is preparing to reach an agreement by the trade deadline.
If they choose to renew their contract with the Wizards, Beal has the right to sign a five-year, $241 million maximum contract, or a four-year, $180 million contract if signed with another team.
Teacher Su Qun, a media person, said: "Bill decided to have surgery on his right wrist and be reimbursed for the season. He could be a free agent in the summer or start a $37 million contract next season. The Wizards' only initiative was to exchange him for someone else in those two days. Some fans left a message saying that Bill was not a good deal after the operation, and Teacher Su replied: "Yes, I just want to renew my contract in advance without talking." ”
More fans speculated that Bill may not have needed surgery, but the renewal was not negotiated, and he decided to go to the operation in an instant. It is worth mentioning that Bill has missed 4 consecutive games due to a wrist injury, and medical experts have also said that the recovery time of this operation usually takes 4-6 months.
So will the Wizards really trade the Bill? Stein reported that the Wizards would most likely not send Bill away unless the latter applied for a trade on his own. The team hasn't received any news right now that Beal doesn't plan to stay with the team.
So far in the season, Beal has played 40 games, averaging 36 minutes per game, with 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 0.9 steals, a significant drop in scoring compared to last season. This season is reimbursed, and the team is expected to let Kuzma play a more important role!
Some netizens said that in the same period of wizards, Wei Shao's ability to lead the team was significantly better than That of Bill. Previously, according to Wizards reporter Chase Hughes, if Westbrook is sent to the Rockets and reaches a buyout, the Wizards intend to sign him back! The reason given by the team is that Beal, Yamura, Garford and Westbrook played well together, and the Wizards had a higher winning percentage last year.
Speaking about his injury season reimbursement, Bill issued a statement saying: "Although my wrist received intensive rehabilitation, it is clear that I cannot return to normal levels to compete. It's frustrating to end the season this way, but we all think it's the best decision and I'm looking forward to coming back with 100% health. ”
According to reporter Jake Fischer, the Wizards have communicated with Dinwiddie about parting ways, in which Horton Tucker plus the draft pick may be able to attract the Wizards to send Dinwiddie.
This season, Dinwiddie averaged 12.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. The salary is $18 million for the 2022-23 season and $18.9 million (10 million guaranteed) for the 2023-24 season. Given his current performance, it would be difficult for the Wizards to send him away.
With the trading deadline approaching (closed at 4 a.m. on Feb. 11), do you think Bill is worth a big contract worth 241 million for 5 years?
