Here’s a sports riddle for you: if somebody offers you $111 million, do you hesitate to sign the contract? The answer, believe it or not, is yes.

Welcome to the wonderful world of former Chaminade standout Bradley Beal. He’s still under contract to the Wizards for a couple more years but the team would like to lock him up to a long-term deal.

Washington’s general manager said they’ll offer the full max extension allowed – 3 years, $111 million. The comes out to $37 million per season. Beal’s agent, who was also Kurt Warner’s agent, said they’ll need some time to consider the offer.

Here’s why. If Beal has a big year and makes the All-NBA Team, come next summer he could be eligible for a different deal. One that could be worth $254 million over 5 years.

And good for Beal, who has always handled himself well. But that NBA money is absolutely crazy! A quarter of a billion dollars at stake for a man who just turned 26.
