Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards would be smart to offer a contract extension to starting shooting guard Bradley Beal, but they made an ever wiser decision to delay the negotiations. Although Beal deserves a new deal and the Wizards are almost certainly going to pay the Florida product whatever he wants, the front office properly exploited the [...]

Bradley Beal, much like his back court sidekick John Wall, has clearly mapped out his goals for this season. Entering his fourth year in the league, Beal finds himself in an odd position. He’s looked like a dominant offensive scorer at times, and a slightly inefficient chucker at others. He’s flashed dominant defensive promise, and [...]

John Wall is already a starting point guard. He is already an NBA All-Star. Now he’s ready to become a league MVP. And a Hall of Famer. The explosive floor general spoke extensively with Basketball Insiders’ Alex Kennedy about his offseason, his Washington Wizards’ immediate potential and aspirations, and his own individual goals. As always, [...]

Bradley Beal is ready to get paid. But the Washington Wizards aren’t ready to pay him. CSN’s J. Michael provided some late-summer updates on the Wizards, one of which detailed the 22-year-old’s extension demands. Here’s what he said: “Bradley Beal has made it clear he thinks he’s a max player, and that’s what he wants. [...]

Kevin Durant free-agency rumors are beginning to percolate. Which means it officially must be summer. Much ado has already been made over his impending foray onto the open market. This speculation is nothing new. But there’s something about his free agency being less than one year away that’s fueling the conjecture fire. Maybe it’s because [...]

Bradley Beal is going to get paaaaaaaiiiiiid. Just not right now. After finishing up his third NBA season, the high-scoring shooting guard is eligible for an extension this summer.

Paul Pierce may be ready to hang up his laces and retire his NBA playoffs time machine for good. Or he may not be ready. Following the Washington Wizards’ Game 6 loss and second-round playoff exit at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks, a series and season that ended with Pierce getting off a potential [...]

Despite the loss in game four against the Hawks who evened the series, the Wall-less Wizards provided a valiant effort by almost completing a big comeback. If only Paul Pierce knocked down the game-tying three-pointer giving them a chance to possibly win. But it wasn’t meant to be, as the Hawks came out with the [...]

John Wall is tough. So tough, Washington Wizards head coach Randy Wittman cannot think of another player he’s been around over the last 30 years who has been tougher. But before anything else, some context: The Wizards announced on Thursday that Wall suffered five non-displaced fractures in his left hand. The announcement came one day [...]

Yes, the Washington Wizards jumped out to a 1-0 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks. No, they won’t be basking in that victory for long. Or at all. As they prepare for Game 2 in Atlanta, the Wizards push forward, cautiously no doubt, knowing that both John Wall and Bradley Beal. First we have Wall’s [...]
