The Wizards have made a habit of re-signing their key players, so how will paying Bradley Beal one of the largest contracts in NBA history work out?

Bradley Beal will make $50M a year. The NBA’s highest paid player. He has won 3 playoff games in the last 5 years. – 7:31 PM

Bradley Beal re-signing all but ensures he will be the Wizards/Bullets’ all-time scoring leader. He’s only 1,320 points behind Elvin Hayes and is likely to pass him this season.
h/t @Chris Miller for that note – 7:16 PM

I think an interesting question now that the Beal deal is done is whether it will create some natural urgency for the Wizards in the trade market, now and in the years to come. He’s entering his Age 29 season, so there’s a logical window to capitalize on. – 6:38 PM

Everything pointed to Bradley Beal returning to the Washington Wizards on a Supermax $251M Contract. With being near the organization, especially in the last month, the team felt confident in retaining his services. – 6:33 PM

The Wizards re-signing Bradley Beal continues a yearslong trend of the organization keeping players they want to keep. They have essentially batted 1.000 in re-signing their own players, from stars to key role players. – 6:07 PM

Will be interesting to see the fine details of Bradley Beal’s new contract
Presume he gets the same player option in the last season and 15% trade kicker that Otto Porter Jr. and John Wall had – 5:32 PM

I wonder if the Wizards will even use the full MLE (or 15th roster spot) because if Bradley Beal re-signs for the max, they may not be able to stay under the $150.3M luxury tax with two minimum contracts barring further moves. – 8:11 PM

Chase Hughes: NBA free agency begins today at 6 p.m. While all eyes are on Bradley Beal’s decision, I’m told Thomas Bryant is likely to sign with another team and is expected to have multiple suitors. That would leave the Wizards in the market for a third center. -via Twitter @ChaseHughesNBCS / June 30, 2022
Wizards All Star guard Bradley Beal declined his $36.4 million player option but has not requested a sign-and-trade to another team. The Heat would have interest in Beal if he asked to be traded to Miami. But as of Wednesday, he had not. -via Miami Herald / June 29, 2022
