“Definitely going to bring y’all that championship,” – John Wall
John Wall just signed a 4-year, $170 million contract extension with the Washington Wizards. He then went on to promise the city a championship. Sorry, Washington. That’s a laughable statement, that is unless Washington made some amazing moves this off season that we all missed.

NBC: All-Star point guard John Wall and the Washington Wizards have agreed to a $170 million, four-year contract extension that will start with the 2019 season, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Friday night.
The people confirmed the terms of the agreement to the AP on condition of anonymity because the Wizards have not officially announced the deal.
The extension includes a player option for the final season in 2023, and a 15 percent trade kicker, according to one of the people.
“Re-signed with the Wizards, man. Signed my extension. You know where I want to be. I love being in D.C. I love the organization. Love my teammates. Love the amazing fans,” Wall said in a video posted on Twitter. “Just had to think it out with my family and friends and made the decision.”
