The contract will pay him $251 million over five years and cement him as the cornerstone of the franchise that drafted him third overall in 2012.
His ability to get to the basket no matter who was on the floor with him or standing in his way made Beal one of the most sought-after players in the league. His low-key personality, which made it easy to imagine him fitting in alongside any number of the NBA’s megawatt stars, made him even more desirable.
But Beal maintained he wanted to remain loyal to the team that drafted him, help Leonsis build a winning organization and give back to the only city he has ever played in as a pro. “It’s love that I’ve received from day one,” Beal said at the court unveiling. “The city has accepted me since [I was] a rookie, and here I am going into year 11 and it’s the same love, if not more. I’ve always just tried to pay that back in one way or another, community outreach, and that’s something I’ll always take pride in. Because that’s something that has a more lasting impact than basketball.”His scoring average dipped last season, falling to 23.3.
