John Wall is a funny man. Too funny, sometimes. Like when discussing his next contract, for instance.
The Washington Wizards' point guard will be able to explore restricted free agency after next season. Just as the Denver Nuggets did with Ty Lawson and the Golden State Warriors did with Stephen Curry, though, the Wizards will hope to iron out an extension before then.
But will it be a max extension? Or should he amble his way into restricted free agency, will a max contract be waiting for him?
Wall himself believes there should (will?) be.
When asked by Zach Lowe of ESPN's Grantland about his impending contract, Wall didn't hesitate in assessing his market value:
Have you started thinking about your contract extension talks yet?
I haven’t started thinking about that.
Really? The deadline isn’t that far away.
That’s true. Look, I’m just enjoying D.C. This hasn’t been going the way we wanted it to, in terms of winning, but I think we are building something here.
Do you feel like you deserve a max contract? That you’re a max guy?
