Bill has the opportunity to sign a five-year, 246 million super contract with the Wizards, and if the signing is successful, Bill will receive nearly $50 million in cash from the Wizards each year.
Beal is different from most players.
Most of the star players in the NBA chase fame and fortune, but different stars have different priorities when chasing fame and fortune, some people want to win more, some people want data, some people want honor, and Bill's idea is very simple - ask for money.
The NBA has a "designated veteran maximum salary clause", specifically tailored for veterans who have "not changed teams" and have "played for ten years" in the league, and they can get the highest salary under the salary cap range.
Bill, on the other hand, was prepared for the contract.
In the Wizards' full ten seasons, whether Wall is messing up or management is messing up, Bill has always been deaf,
This season, Beal only played 40 games to be reimbursed for the season, rumors about him are rife, but he constantly emphasizes: he does not want to go, he wants to stay, he wants to sign this contract.
It can be seen that Bill has a desperate desire for this contract.
As soon as the news came out, the fans were discussing the issue of "unworthiness".
In fact, from the perspective of fans, it is often the first feeling to see whether it is worthy or not.
For example, if Curry wants to take 50 million, no one will feel unworthy, and most people will naturally think that he is of course worthy;
If Lillard were to take 50 million, people might frown, but on closer inspection, it does make sense.
When people say that Bill is going to take 50 million, many fans will immediately blurt out: Give this contract, the Wizards really can't get up.
What does it mean to really not get up? This means that What Beal has achieved so far, combined with his performance in the minds of fans, is not enough to convince the public.
On the one hand, it is the ability to lead the team, after Wall was injured, The best result of Beal to lead the team was a first round, compared to the 50 million stars of this level, completely unable to take the hand;
On the other hand, there are personal honors, and the Bill honor pool has only three All-Stars and a three-time lineup, and then it's gone.
This is very embarrassing, he does not belong to the league's first-line strong players (the league's top ten), the strength is about the top twenty in the league, the level of second-tier stars.
This kind of star as an auxiliary, when a second or third boss is a hope to rush to the championship, but if you expect him to lead the team to win the championship as the boss, you can only use the word to describe - dementia.
Looking at the Wizards salary space, although they ate into The Boshen's contract in the middle of the season, with an average annual salary of 30 million+, there is still a distance from the salary cap.
It does seem flexible, but once Bill's contract is signed, the two men's combined contract of more than 80 million will directly lock the Wizards' salary cap.
That is to say, the next Wizards will play with Bill + Bozin as the main body.
What level of team is this? Let's put it this way, last year's 077 under the gods, with the wave god is also a round of travel level, as for Bill? The picture is too beautiful to imagine.
Bill is now 28 years old, and it is not realistic to expect him to tap his potential upwards.
After all, as strong as DeRozan, it was only after changing teams many times that the super evolution was completed.
Now there are two paths in front of the Wizards:
Directly tear down the rebuild, maybe the gang in hand can also get back some positive assets to renew Bill, that basically, the Wizards will be in this state for the next five years.
Five years later, Whether Bill will be able to stay or not I don't know, the general manager will certainly not be able to stay.
