The only way I would give Beal his money is if he was willing to hold off for 1 yr and help Washington clear cap space to sign a player like Lebron, Harden, etc...Paying Beal 50m to be the #1 option is just stupid........Could you imagine LeBron signing with Washington.....Their ticket sales, merchandise sales and value would go through the roof.....Their owner(s) would definitely spend on the luxury tax....and they would be a legit title contender.
I want Lebron to finish his career with the Lakers, but Washington could be an option.
