At a time when NBA stars join forces to form super teams, Bradley Beal went the other way and signed an extension with the Wizards through 2022.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis had big nights and took the fourth quarter off as the Lakers rolled to a 125-103 win over the Wizards and went to 17-2.Just look at the Lakers , the team that steamrolled Washington 125-103. It’s impossible, this week of all weeks, to not think about finding greener grass.
And then there’s Anthony Davis, who arose from the boos in New Orleans to dominate for a second straight game, brutalizing whoever was unlucky enough to try to stop him on Friday. He’s here because he knew New Orleans wouldn’t give him a chance as good as the one he’s got in Los Angeles.There’s a financial incentive to stay. If Beal does, he could actually become the highest-paid player in NBA history. And the Wizards are unquestionably Beal’s team.
It’s not a lock that it’ll work even if Beal eventually decides it’s time for him to leave. Chris Paul forced a trade to Houston, and within two years, he was gone. But if Beal had foregone the extension, he’d have been the best player available on the trade market, the kind of talent that could’ve turned a team like Denver into a favorite on the level of the Lakers and the Clippers.
