This is a decision that has been awaited for several weeks. Without the slightest surprise, the back of the Washington Wizards Bradley Beal declined his “player option”, estimated at $36.4 million for next season. A news announced by ESPN journalist Adrian Wojnarowski.
A logical choice for the native of Saint-Louis. Indeed, the 29-year-old now finds himself eligible for a maximum extension, valued at $248 million over 5 years, with the DC franchise. Of course, he can also choose to leave, with a maximum contract of 4 years with another team.
Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal has declined his $36.4M option and become a free agent, his agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN. Beal is eligible to sign a 5-year max to return to Wizards – or sign elsewhere on a 4-year deal.

Despite many contenders within the League, however, Beal seems set to stay. In addition to his attachment to Washington, the player obviously wants to hit the jackpot. And despite his desire “to win”he should trust the project set up by his leaders around him.
Very quickly after the opening of the Free Agency, Bradley Beal could therefore receive his big check at the Wizards.
