Bradley Beal Has No Idea If He'd Accept Supermax Contract Extension from Wizards

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal could be eligible for a supermax extension if he makes an All-NBA team this year, but he said he has "no idea" if he would accept one if offered, per Fred Katz of The Athletic.

The 25-year-old has two more years and about $56 million remaining on his current deal, but a new extension could add $194 million over four years beginning with the 2021-22 season.

While he wouldn't be able to get this type of money elsewhere, he refused to say whether he would sign a proposed deal.

"I have no idea. ...I try not to (think about it)," he said. "I'm not gonna be naive to it. I know about it. But ...I haven't even gotten that far, because I need to figure out what we're gonna do in this offseason, where we're going, which direction we're going."

This is less certainty than he had during the All-Star Break about remaining in Washington.

"If I can, 100 percent, I’d die in a Wizards jersey," he said in February.

Beal has raised his game to another level this year, averaging 26 points, 5.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game, which would all be career highs. Unfortunately, the Wizards have struggled to a 31-45 record and will miss the playoffs for just the second time in the last six years.

The money would be good if he signed the massive extension, but the guard will have to choose whether he wants to remain in Washington for the long haul.

John Wall being under contract for at least three more years could also play a major role in his decision.
