This week, Washington Wizards starting shooting guard Bradley Beal said he will be asking for a max contract once negotiations begin July 1.
"I want to be valued the right way," Beal said. "I feel like I’m a max player, and that’s what I’m looking for. If Washington can’t meet that requirement, then I may be thinking elsewhere. I’m pretty sure that they probably won’t (let me go). At the end of the day, that’s where I want to be. I think a deal will probably get done, but you just never know."
According to Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post, the Wizards are expected to give Beal the five-year max.
