General manager Tommy Sheppard called guard Bradley Beal “a tremendous cornerstone” for the Washington Wizards and said that even if Beal makes the Hall of Fame someday, he’s a better person than player.
The All-Star is no doubt appreciated in Washington. The big question that still lingers is how long he’ll remain in town.
The Wizards offered Beal a three-year extension in July, but on a podcast published Thursday Beal said he hasn’t deliberated on whether to sign it quite yet. He has until Oct. 21 to sign, but if he declines, he still has two years left on his contract.
