During a fan Q&A in Charlotte for All-Star weekend, Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal said he's “all about loyalty” and wants to retire with the Wizards.
With Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall expected to miss the majority of next season after tearing his Achilles tendon, some believe Washington should tear the roster down this summer and embark on a rebuild.
Beal, though, says he wants to stay in the nation's capital and finish what he and Wall started.
Bradley Beal gets asked in a fan Q&A in Charlotte if the Wizards should blow the team up.
His response: “If I can retire in this jersey, I will. I’m all about loyalty.”

Bradley Beal has spent his entire career with the Wizards. The franchise drafted him with third overall pick in the 2012 Draft, and the sharpshooter is now one of the best two-guards in the NBA.
Beal made his second All-Star team this season. The 25-year-old is averaging 25.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game and shooting 47.2 percent from the field, 34.9 percent from beyond the arc and 81.5 percent from the free-throw line.
The Wizards enter the All-Star break with a record of 24-34, good for just 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings. The franchise acquired Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis at the trade deadline from the Chicago Bulls with the hopes that the two players will help the team go on a playoff push during the second half of the season.
Beal signed a five-year, $127 million deal with Washington back in 2016.
