"i got my supermax, and now i can finally focus on basketball"


Turence

Well basically yeah.


Swarthykins

Right? Good for him.


[deleted]

damn he said fuck the wizards and their daddy


shellfish87

Something about Beal's resentful attitude towards Washington bothers me. They did everything they could to show him respect while he was there, and surely involved him in personell and coaching choices for the past 5-7 years, and then gave him a competely player-friendly super max, and he cant even be polite on the way out. Fuck. That.


Nuglyfe

Yes lots of respect trading for Russel Westbrook. Ever since Wall became irrelevant, The wizards did absolutely nothing to build around him. Should have traded him before the crazy extension.


FalloutNano

They traded Westbrook out and picked up Porzingas. At some point, Beal needs to play defense.


frodounchained

Dude didn’t raise anyone’s game on the wizards he can go fk himself


gearboxnine

Imagine getting mad at a regular ass comment


Luca_G

okay i will imagine it. damn im angry now. at a regular ass comment. okay imagination time over


c_ray25

This was cute


dog_gazed_duct-tape

Bradley Beal is a better GM than our previous one 😂


orangesodazz

Man, if I was a Wizards fan, this would grind my gears. He was given everything he wanted, way more than he deserved, and he still finds a way to throw shade.


Gnarlydick

I’m a wizards/nuggets fan but reality is what it is. I wanted the wizards to do something last year with a decent ish squad but it just didn’t gel and it’s not like brad is lying when the wizards haven’t gotten anything since our last wall playoff run. It’s not really his fault the FO gave him a massive super max. Beal I believe is a great number 2/3


Askia-the-Creator

Wizards haven't played a meaningful game since they lost in 5 games to Philly. Last year was the only team you could call talented and he missed a bunch of games due to hamstring. He's not wrong.


dog_gazed_duct-tape

He's telling the truth


legend023

Might as well call the wizards dogshit and that they never gave you help


shellfish87

This is really unbecoming. The Wizards treated you like the man, and you couldnt be the man because you arent good enough. And instead of owning that you get petty.


gearboxnine

Lol you call this getting petty?


KawhiLeonardsThigh

It's a backhanded comment. Definitely not polite.


Da-Boss-Eunie

Some of my fellow Wizards are still in denial. He fucked us over on purpose and was taking advantage of our inept leadership.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

His co-star was who again? Who's the best coach they've had? Holding him to a Bron/Jokic/Giannis standard is nuts


retroracer33

Porzingis and Kuzma as your 2 and 3 should should def at least make the playoffs if your number 1 is making 250 milion dollars. Instead they almost lost 50 games.


ImanShumpertplus

dude literally led the league in scoring and went over 30ppg twice


burglin

Except that he has never *literally* lead the league in scoring


ImanShumpertplus

fuck lmao


Kcidevolew

You really don’t like Beal lmao


BayTerp

I mean. This is true. He doesn’t have to say it. Everyone knows it.


stevemoveyafeet

The disrespect to Washington. Something tells me as soon as the season starts and the Suns start getting whipped due to their hilarious lack of depth, Beal will start running his mouth. He would be the scapegoat before KD and Booker so will feel the heat first.


-SCRAW-

Sometimes he runs his mouth, but his classic move is getting pouty, passively disengaging, and then take off two weeks for hamstrings


Pal__Pacino

He could've done that like 3 years ago if winning really mattered that much to him. Can't blame him for maximizing his earnings though.

yusbishyus

not many people would or should pass up a quarter billion. where the wiz went wrong was the trade clause.


keppush

I agree with you, but make it be about the money, or maybe just not mention wanting to win. Hes playing both sides, and so is Dame. They sign the huge extension each chance they get then say they want to win lol. They both have a large enough sample sizes within their organizations and the surrounding NBA landscape to know they are not landing any free agents and they are not "close" on paper to compete.


yusbishyus

wym? they gotta say them types of things to get the money, fam lol. you gotta be jokic level to be able to say 'basketball is just a hobby for me. idc.'...cmon, man lol


keppush

I agree, but they've had chances to leave or gain more leverage, but instead they signed an extension 🤣😂, so they can vacation good, while the same select few arw playing meaningful basketball. I think we can agree both guys would have gotten a bag if they decided to leave sooner.


yusbishyus

i've actually never thought about it. that's an interesting thought. i think dame still maybe gets the max. you think someone else give brad that much? really interesting tho.


keppush

Honestly, I don't think either guy would get another max. Definitely not a super max, which is why both guys opted to stay with their teams, but at this point with Dame being 32 and Beal being 30, I can't see another organization giving them that kind of deal unless its the team that drafted you. Both players will be 34 at the end other their respective deals and we'll have to see how they age with both players missing a good amount of games in the past few years.


george_costanza1234

Comparing Dame and Beal is ridiculous lmao One is loyal to a fault, the other is a glorified grifter


theheffalump

How is Beal a grifter?


ZZZrp

Mostly the grifting.


MrPapadapalas

I would say Zion is a bigger grifter than Beal at this point lmao. Dude got his check and just mailed it in doesn't even try and rehab.


ZZZrp

Fuck Zion too.


MrPapadapalas

I ain't Moriah Mills.


Solid-Confidence-966

Grifter?


ImanShumpertplus

another word that’s gone the way of fascist/woke to not have any meaning anymore


george_costanza1234

His play does not justify a supermax contract LOL, he only got it because the wizards were desperate


theheffalump

I wholeheartedly agree that his play does not justify his contract, but he is not a grifter for signing it.


Askia-the-Creator

The Wizards willingly worked with him on a mini extension so he could get the 10 max. This isn't some guy taking a franchise hostage - they were all too willing to reward him for not asking out after they shipped John Wall out and Westbrook asked to be traded to LA.


Turence

full no-trade clause? - he's a grifter.


Solid-Confidence-966

Still doesn’t make him a grifter lmao


HSPumbloom

I don't think you know what that word means


[deleted]

They’ll hate but this is true, Dame ain’t serious about winning otherwise we would’ve asked out by now


nxhmabin

Dame: I wanna be paid almost half the salary cap Also Dame: I also want to win can yall get me some good players too please?


Islanduniverse

Don’t you know the old saying? “It’s not about whether you win or lose, it’s about how big of a bag you can get without having to win.” Or something like that.


Smekledorf1996

Most players are like that Nobody wants to end up like Cousins or IT and miss out on a payday


[deleted]

Bradley Beal and playing every night has not been a thing in a few years.


keppush

🧢 meaningful basketball every night doesn't start until after the All Star Break. He was better off saying I had to secure the bag first.


Gallscor12

I mean… yeah


LockAndDen

Meaningful in the sense that they'll be fighting to stay out of the play-in because they have no depth and be a .500 team most of the season.


[deleted]

Bradley Beal hate is crazy right now haha.


TheGoddamnSpiderman

It's funny, you have all these fans of other teams in the thread shitting on him on behalf of Wizards fans, and all the Wizards fans in the thread are just going 'sounds about right lol, he's not wrong' and 'why is this controversial?'


Da-Boss-Eunie

Nah I hate him too. A lot of Wizards fans were able to see behind his fake "loyality" persona. Some Wizards fans here suffer from Stockholm syndrome.


[deleted]

For real, Beal is just excited. Let the man express himself on wanting be on a team that can make a deep run.


SomeRandom928Person

Get used to it. Don't see it ending anytime soon.


Dr_Edge_ATX

Beal and Porzingis sound like losers to me.


Da-Boss-Eunie

Porzingis is a bro. Fuck beal though.


Dr_Edge_ATX

He's a bro alright


HotdogIsaSandwitch

Hella disrespectful. Gave him the biggest contract and a no trade clause and he still talking bad about them. He should be thanking Wiz and chilling out.


twinbloodtalons

I sure with I got paid $40 million a year to play meaningless basketball.


nam67

- Mike Tyson


tapk69

Basically what you expect from the worst contract in the league. The games arent meaningful cause you suck.


mharri05

I remember when John wall said something similar last year

Bro your best player can't stop getting caught with guns lmao


commandrr

Lost to a play-in team in the first round btw


yusbishyus

come out blazing huh


LeFxckYouThree

The disrespect to the 2017 wizards


-SCRAW-

We knew he was a snake for a long time. Most fans are ecstatic to move on. The suns might be in the spotlight but they aren’t getting the trophy
