The Washington Wizards will have two important tasks this offseason. First, they will have to find the best player available with the 10th pick in this year’s draft. And second, they will have to convince guard Bradley Beal to sign a contract extension, assuming he opts out of his player option.
If Beal opts out of his current contract, he can sign up to a five-year, $245-ish million contract with the Wizards, or a four-year $180-ish million contract with another team. That doesn’t mean that Beal is signing for those absolute amounts with his next deal, but I’m sure it would be awfully close.
