Tim Legler has been obscured for years

[@justincha4973]

An average player like Beal getting a 250 max sound great after picking up the check after a losing games and losing seasons.

[@DBE.S.O510]

Wow he really dosen't care about winning a nba🏆 that's wild

[@TheDimondpick]

Bro is collecting half a billion over his career if he gets a a few years in after this contract, absolutely insane bag.

[@AIRiddleRoom]

If you don't think Bradley Beal will force his way out of Washington, you haven't been watching the NBA the last 5 years

[@ABattocchi]

I disagree with Tim Legler and Kendrick Perkins. I think Bradley Beal has a chance to win in Washington with the Wizards. Kristaps Porzingis is a very talented big man, and they have some nice players around both of them. Don't forget the Wizards traded for Monte Morris from Denver. They drafted Johnny Davis from Wisconsin. They still have Kyle Kuzma, Rui Hachimura, Daniel Gafford, and Corey Kispert. It's not out of the question they could win 50 games this year. That hasn't happened since 1978-79.

[@warrenfuhreal8456]

Lol bro I don’t think you really know basketball that much I’m not saying your comment is stupid but porzingis is trash that’s why he got traded from Dallas for spencer dinwidde who’s making a better impact on the mavs. Kyle Kuzma is not even that good wizards ain’t a winning team haha. You’d be a legend if they actually did it but highly doubt they will 😂😂

[@ABattocchi]

@@warrenfuhreal8456 Porzingis was an All Star with the Knicks. What makes you think he can't be with the Washington Wizards? What about Johnny Davis? We still haven't seen him play in the NBA. You could always trade young talent for a 3rd star to go with Beal and Porzingis. My point is that moves could still be made to contend.

[@BrothaMan98]

He doesn't have a chance because Beal isn't a #1. He can't lead a team to the playoffs

[@YettisBack]

Beal is a genius. If i was an nba player this is the best route. No stressing about championships, no playoff runs, just get his points and his money.

[@Manboy007]

the media is so bias to wanting stars to go to big market teams, so your telling me a team with beal and kristaps cant make the playoffs?!?? like they just want all these stars to go to the lakers, celtics, heat, warriors, sixers. like they are really questioning his love of basketball becaue he want to win in dc? like what? this is ridiculous . stuff like this is what really makes me think the nba is riggged for big market teams and this whole thing is fake

I’m all for player empowerment. Beal might be losing on the court, but he’s definitely winning off the court.

the second wall got injured beal just started playing for stats and money. 0 zero motivation for winning

[@brainmt]

I just think the difference between someone getting paid 251 million over 5 years to someone making 250k over 5 years is just too much. It almost makes me not want to support or consume professional sports. But at the same time I want people to get max earning potential.

[@ReallyGotMotion]

That thought has never ever crossed my mind. If you love sports why be insecure about what others make? Like 10 owners by themselves makes more than the whole leauge.

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Bro', how are you a grown man pocket watching what the next man is getting? 🤔🤔🤔. It's not your money, so why do you care? Just enjoy sports for what it is: entertainment. Don't be so melodramatic about it all.

[@aineshbalaga1216]

Brilliant move by Beal. He doesn’t wanna get caught up in this super team nonsense and he’d probably have to take a 50% or more pay cut just to join. Wizards low key have something going for themselves. They got Avdija, Hachimura and Porzingis. Just start playing Avdija a lot more at PG and they should pretty much be good. Hopefully Washington can develop these guys pretty well moving forward.

[@TriquetraDs]

Bruh they also got kuzma

Respect to Beal. He doesn’t want a worthless ring won by stacking the deck on a big market team like so many other lame stars.

[@violetjane7152]

He’s happy in Washington, and it’s his team. Hopefully they’ll be really good next season. You never know. The grizzlies surprised everyone.

[@rickcole4089]

Bradley Beal is the new Carmelo Anthony. Melo, with the Knicks, took the money instead of going to a contender. Beal did the same. Players like that are just sad.

[@R-V1]

Nah Melo had way more playoff runs than Beal

[@MrElephantBeach]

A lot of people in the comments talking about loyalty. It's not like he's taking some hometown discount so they can go out and get other players. In fact he took MORE money than any other team would have been able to pay him. It's loyalty to money if anything. And he sees how easy it is for stars to demand trades so that's always an option.

[@gadd-00]

These people talking about Beal shouldn't stay with the team that gave him his shot at success, are plain stupid. Success doesn't always mean the grass is greener on the other side. It don't always mean championships. He has shown loyalty and for that he's a Legend. Note this though, they will trade him rather than pay him. So I hope he gets a chip

[@marquiseruffin645]

This is a business.

[@lajaunescott9273]

I have a lot of respect for him. He didn’t bail like the rest of these soft players. It’s up to the organization to give him help since he is willing to stick around.

Man I swear this why I don't mess with most NBA fans and media cause YALL WANT IT BOTH WAYS! Y'all look at a Dame and Bradley that STAY with they team say they want to win and "do it the right way" but as soon as they get paid what they deserved now they don't wanna win and need to get traded?!?!?!? Like make it make sense! But then folks clown a KD and Bron and diminish they rings when they do exactly WHAT YALL WANTED which is put themselves in the best position to win titles. I really think most of y'all don't even know what y'all want

[@rusty9508]

Anti Mamba mentality

[@2Tall2ActSmall]

When players leave bad teams they’re disloyal, ring chasing or taking the easy way out but when they stay with teams they don’t care about winning or they’re all about the money. No matter what he did people are gonna have negative things to say.

[@swaveyion9453]

He secured that bag with the wizards because nobody else could offer that much money. If he wants, he can force a trade in about 2 years and still be young enough to be coveted by title contending teams. Either by buyout, trade, or just simply cutting him, he will still get paid the garunteed part of that contract. Even if he never leaves, winning a ring isnt everything. Especially in todays NBA where superteams are always being made every other year. Way too many variables to bank on to win a ring when you can just get garunteed life changing money instead, because life goes on even after basketball. Smart man

[@markblue6464]

He’s trying to make some noise for us and I appreciate it we’re one player away from being a threat

@@goonshroomz6976 right! Ok k from DC never been a fan of the home teams because the front offices are trash. As I got older I decided to become a Wizards fan & have been a loyal fan for the past 8 years. I really wanted Brad to go, I watched him mature in to the player he is today & watched him suffer thru John Wall's tyranny & the incompetence of the front office. It breaks my heart that he just didn't leave. I know $50mil is a lot but TIME is PRICELESS.
