Bradley Beal can finally join a winner

Another player set to become a free agent is Washington Wizard’s guard, Bradley Beal.

Reports are already stating Beal plans on opting out of his deal to sign a five-year max contract with Washington. This would land one of the NBA’s highest scorers a deal worth close to $250 million dollars, something that few people would turn down.

And still, it’s worth questioning if Beal will listen to any other offers.

Matching the max contract that Washington can offer is impossible but plenty of other teams will be interested in signing Beal. Will the opportunity to finally play for a winning franchise sway Beal into joining a different team?

In this event, the Warriors could find themselves with another threat to face. Beal is a flamethrower who can score from all levels. Whatever team steals him from the Wizards would put themselves in a position to compete with a top-tier offensive weapon.
