My understanding is that beal opting out pretty much closes the door on the possibility because we would need a sign and trade and that would hard cap the team. It may (or may not) be possible theoretically but in that theory, the team is mostly gutted. So not worth it or even realistic.
This doesn’t make sense for either side. Why would Washington want to let him walk for nothing vs agreeing to a sign+trade? Also, there are no contending teams that I can see under the salary cap for Beal to sign with. Doesn’t add up.
The cap and the apron are not the same thing.
