Bradley Beal and his commitment to the Washington Wizards: “I’m a...

The top scorer from last regular season is one of the most sought-after players in the current NBA due to his salary and performance. However, he has constantly reiterated his loyalty to the capital project and his intention to fulfill his contract.

At the end of the 2019-2020 season, the next objective on the calendar is free agency, and with it the movements in the market, whether of players in search of a new destination or those with a contract that can be transferred. One of the ones that has received the most attention in recent months is Bradley Beal who has completed an excellent campaign with the Washington Wizards, perfectly supplying John Wall and staying close to being able to fight for the last ticket to the Playoffs in the context of the Orlando bubble.

Beal has signed the best numbers of his entire career, managing to be the title of top scorer at a rate of 30.5 points per night with 45% in field goals and 35% in triples. Despite these numbers, he was not included in any of the best quintets of the season, nor did he attend the All-Star Game in Chicago.

However, his performance has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the league, as many are closely following his progression and his name has appeared in various transfer rumors over the past year. Despite all that, Beal says he remains faithful to his team, the Washington Wizards, with whom he signed a contract extension on October 17, 2019 for two years at a rate of 72 million dollars. This renewal would keep him attached to the capital franchise until 2022, having an option to extend it one more year with a player clause.

Recently, the escort went to the podcast On the Road with Buck & Phil where he declared that finishing his career in Washington is his primary goal. “That would mean the world”, he expressed. “I’m a loyal guy. I want to be here. I’m here. I’ve signed my extension. And that will mean a lot to me. Being able to finish your degree in one place? Today is not something usual,” ended.

It’s not just that Beal wants to stay with the Wizards for as long as possible, it’s that he wants to help the franchise rebuild the project by attracting players who will pack the team in its challenge to achieve success. “My ultimate goal is to win. I want to win and we have to win. And I know we can win.”, he acknowledged. “I know it’s a place where we can win and I know it’s a place where we can get guys to come here to win. But we have to prove it on the court.”

The Wizards will not have it easy, who after Wall’s injury suffered in 2018 have not found the way to rebuild with a squad at the height of their star, straddling the young and competitive veterans.

At 26, Bradley Beal is one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA today, having surpassed the 11,000 points without even having reached a total of 600 games, something that only Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Gilbert Arenas, David Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Derrick Rose have done in history.
