After a summer filled with uncertainty, Bradley Beal agreed to sign his extension with the Wizards. In more specifics terms, it is a one year extension with a player option in the second year. Now, regardless of the trade Beal campaign or how some may feel about the extension, the one person who deserves a lot of credit is, Wizard’s General Manager, Tommy Sheppard.
After a roller coaster ride that led to Sheppard getting the permanent GM position, it was clear that the biggest hurdle that he would have to jump is attempting to keep Beal around long term.
