Bradley Beal has been a common topic around the NBA in recent seasons, as the Washington Wizards have struggled to get things going in the Eastern Conference, meaning he's been unable to even have the chance to lead them to have a deep playoff run. Not even with Russell Westbrook on the team, they could do it, and after Russ left the team, the situation has gotten worse. 

The Wizards are reportedly confident that they can be competitive with a Big 3 of Beal, Kyle Kuzma, and Kristaps Porzingis, but the rest of the league doesn't think the same. In fact, it seems like Beal doesn't think his team is in a position to compete in the East.

Talking with Marc J. Spears of Andscape, Beal explained that he's been patient with his team, but at some point, people get tired and tend to change their minds about their situations, including himself. 

I’m patient, but there comes a time where you have to be a little selfish and draw a line in the sand, for sure. So, I have thoughts in my head but at the same time I stay in the moment. I stay engaged with what we have and what we do and don’t get caught up in noise and just go from there, take it a day at a time, control what I can control.

This is concerning for the Wizards, who still see Beal as their leader for the present and future. However, if they don't bring the right pieces to build around him, the shooting guard will get tired of that, and he's already followed by other teams in the NBA, including the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bradley Beal Compares His Loyalty To Stephen Curry And Damian Lillard 

Beal still thinks he should remain loyal to the Wizards, as he's trying to win it all with this team. He even compared himself to Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard, two loyal players in the association. 

[Me, Steph, and Dame] all think the same [about loyalty]. It’s just our commitment to want to win where we’re at, and there’s nothing wrong with that at all. We’re just trusting the organizations that drafted us.

Bradley has been linked with a move away from D.C. for a while now, and even though he signed a massive contract extension, the shooting guard might be getting tired of this situation and perhaps decide to force a trade in the offseason, like Kevin Durant did last year and how Kyrie Irving ahead of the 2023 trade deadline.
