Thursday's Wizards Links: Wall, Beal still need to figure out how to work together

It’s bickering, not beef, but John Wall and Bradley Beal still need to figure it out: On Wednesday morning, many players on the Washington Wizards' roster woke up inside a five-star hotel overlooking a marina in California. An idyllic setting for team bonding — and a world away from Washington, where news of discord between the team’s two best players has once again bubbled to the surface. During a televised special on Tuesday evening, John Wall and Bradley Beal separately shared candid comments to CSN Mid-Atlantic’s Chris Miller. -- The Washington Post

Wall, Beal admit tension: What it means (and doesn't): The alarm that immediately comes after candid comments by John Wall, about his complex on-court relationship with Bradley Beal, is to be expected. There is cause for concern, but going overboard this early in the process isn’t warranted either. Wall’s comments aren’t really new (and Beal has hinted about it plenty, too, if you listen carefully). This was the first time, however, that Wall faced them head-on with CSN's Chris Miller and on the record about Beal after a summer in which he had surgeries to both knees May 5 and his backcourt mate signed a $128 million max contract. -- CSN Mid-Atlantic
