This article has errors. Wall is a RFA in 2014. He can sign the qualifying offer ($9.7 million) and leave as a UFA in 2015. He is NOT a Restricted Free Agent this summer. He is on the last year of his rookie deal that will pay him $7.4 million for 2013-2014.

And factor into that the recent history of the Wizards when it comes to allowing players such as Chris Webber, Richard Hamilton and Ben Wallace to leave, blossom and help other franchises become successful.

“An organization’s history is leverage,” one NBA agent told CSN Washington. “In negotiations, you use that. Definitely. And this kid has kept his nose clean on top of that."

In losses to the Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons last month, for instance, Wall shot a combined 4-for-21 and had 14 turnovers. He had six turnovers in Monday's loss in Charlotte to kick off a four-game road trip. But Wall will point to how others benefit from his presence:
• Rookie shooting guard Bradley Beal didn't become a legitimate Rookie of the Year candidate until Wall’s Jan. 12 return.
• Forward Trevor Ariza, a career 32.1% shooter from three, is making 38% since Wall’s return.
• Martell Webster, a career role player in his eighth season, is shooting 48.2% from three-point range with him in the lineup.
• Emeka Okafor had five double-doubles before Wall. He has 14 with him.

Teammates who expect to win matter, and he is surrounded by ones who can score. During a fast-break against the Phoenix Suns last week, Wall pushed the ball. Beal and Webster fanned out to the corners. The middle of the floor parted like the Red Sea as defenders went to chase them from the three-point line. Wall finished with a dunk.

"In the past everybody was coming to me. it makes it easy for me. I can finish," Wall said. "And if I know people are coming at me I got shooters to find.

“The two (previous teams) I had, they weren't bad guys. We just didn't have a lot of guys that were used to winning, and had that kind of mind-set doing it as a team and trusting each other. Having consistent, knockdown shooters is making my job a lot easier. Then my job is to keep knocking down my jump shot and making their jobs easier.”

Wall already has urged Leonsis to keep Webster, who is playing on a one-year, $1.6 million deal. The Wizards, however, don't have a lot of wiggle room under the salary cap. Ariza and Okafor, who account for $22.3 million for 2013-14, could exercise their player-options and leave as free agents.

Wall seems certain about his future.

"Nah, I don’t plan on it," he said of only signing a one-year deal and testing the market after next season. "I like it here. This is the city where my dad was born and raised. I want to give something back and start it here. I don’t like to follow. I like to lead my own way."

Deal is based on potential obviously...

I think the Wizards are right in the playoff hunt if he played the entire year though.

damn, you just made me a John Wall fan. I want him to do it now.

By the end of next season, the Wiz will be way under the cap & with them signing Wall to a max deal, they cannot afford to fukk up the team they surround him with. Huge time coming up for the franchise in the next 2 years.

Well, you got to remember. When Ernie Grunfeld took over in 2003 for Michael Jordan, he went out and signed Gilbert Arenas away from Golden State. He gave him 6 years $66 million. The 2008 deal for $111 million over 6 years and giving Jamison $50 million over 4 years was :snoop:

So, this isn't surprising.

I'm sorry, if you are not able to get your team to or close to the playoffs, don't get selected to the All Star team or don't have enough Star Power to get TV Networks to televise your team's games nationally. You don't deserve a MAX contract.

And I'm not just shytting on John Wall, this should apply to all the teams in the league.
