Bradley Beal suggests where his future may lie
Beal didnāt expand very much on what the future may hold for him, but he seemed tosuggest that a new deal with the Wizards looks probable.āItās fair,ā Beal saidon Thursday when asked whether he is leaning toward staying with the Wizards, per ESPN. āItās fair.ā
However, Beal made clear what things he will consider to stay in Washington. āHaving a winning environment, a group of guys that are committed to winning, buying into what Coach wants, buying into what the organization needs,ā Beal said. āObviously, I play a factor into that too. I have to be better ⦠but being around the group of guys, who want to win and who will buy into what we need to do, that is important.ā
Itās obviously a big decision for Beal but he seems to be comfortable with the Wizards, as he even sees a silver lining to his injury. āAs crazy as this sounds, this is a blessing in disguise too,ā Beal said. āBecause I can see the team, I can see our young guys develop, I can see Coach [Wes Unseld Jr.] continue to develop too. I can see us grow as a team. I donāt have to rush to a decision, I donāt have to rush to anything.ā
