The NBA is in an age when star players are dictating the balance of power in the league, prompting huge moves even if they’re still under contract. Bradley Beal has been on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Despite the Wizards finishing last season with their worst record since 2012-2013 and appearing to be in rebuilding mode, Beal has continued to express his preference to stay with the team. But as the Wizards prepare to offer the 26-year-old Beal a contract extension next week, that loyalty will be put to the test.

Beal, who has two years and just over $55 million left on his current deal, can officially be offered a three-year, $111 million extension on July 26, but The Washington Post reports there’s belief he could leave the team.

“He’s out of here,” one source told the paper.

Beal has drawn serious interest from around the league after making his second All-Star Game last season and becoming the first player in Wizards history to average 25 points, five assists and five rebounds.

“Whether or not [Beal] stays there, I really couldn’t tell you,” an Eastern Conference senior executive told the paper. “But I know that there’s a lot of teams out there that would love him.”

The Wizards have had a vacancy at general manager since firing Ernie Grunfeld in April. Tommy Shepard has served as the team’s interim president of basketball operations, guiding them through a free agency during which they re-signed center Thomas Bryant, traded Dwight Howard and let 27-year-old point guard Thomas Satoransky depart to the Bulls, favoring younger players with one or fewer years of NBA service.

Washington’s front-office vacancy likely won’t be resolved by the time Beal receives the extension offer, and that uncertainty will affect Beal’s decision.

“I’d be naive to say I wouldn’t be [interested in extension talks],” Beal told The Washington Post in June. “Washington is where I’ve been the last seven years, going on eight. It would be great to play in one place forever. But at the same time, you want to win and make sure you’re in a position to do so. I’m definitely going to evaluate who we hire as the GM and who we pick up on the team. All that plays a factor.”

With John Wall expected to miss all of next season as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles, the Wizards likely will be a lottery team again.

If Beal turns down his extension next week, the Wizards will likely be forced to shop their prized guard to avoid losing him for nothing. With the Thunder trading Paul George to the Clippers and Russell Westbrook to the Rockets, and the Pelicans shipping Anthony Davis to the Lakers this offseason, Washington will have plenty of precedents to follow.
