One contract signed in this free agency that stands out is the five-year $251M one for the Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal.

It is not the massive amount of money that stands out but the fact that Beal's contract consists of a no-trade clause. He is the only player in the current NBA to have a true no-trade clause.

The contract also has a 15% trade kicker and a player option in year five.

The Wizards guard becomes only the 10th player to have a no-trade clause in the league's history joining LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and John Stockton.

Beal has spent his entire 10-year career with the Wizards, which drafted him with the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 draft.

Last season the 3-time NBA All-Star averaged 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game.

However, 1.91-meter tall guard only played in 40 games this past season as he had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist in February.
