NBA News Roundup, Sunday, July 21st: Update on Bradley Beal's future, Kyle Korver makes free agency decision and more

The 2019 NBA offseason is now well underway, and most of the in-demand free agents around the league have already been snatched up. At this point, the remaining pool of available talent is pretty shallow and consists primarily of veterans looking to extend their careers via minimum deals.

However, teams have already started to look towards trades, and several major moves could still be in the works. So, with plenty going on around the NBA, here is all the latest news and rumors you need to know for July 21st.

Bradley Beal set to decline Wizards contract extension; New general manager set to make decision on trade

Bradley Beal appears set to turn down a new contract with the Wizards

Over the past 12 months, Bradley Beal has continually been linked with a trade away from the Washington Wizards. However, the franchise is believed to view the 26-year-old as a star that can be built around, and the Wizards have refused to enter trade talks with interested teams such as the Miami Heat.

New Wizards General Manager Tommy Sheppard is keen to sign Beal to a new long-term deal, although Chase Hughes of NBC Washington is reporting that the shooting guard is likely to turn down a new contract:

He will have to sort out Beal's future, which could take a turn later this month On July 26, the Wizards can officially offer Beal a contract extension worth approximately $111 million. But there is a long list of clues that suggest he will not take the offer.

Beal is currently under contract until 2021, although if the All-Star demands a trade, the Wizards may opt to trade an unhappy player while his market value is at an all-time high.

Kyle Korver to join the Bucks

Kyle Korver spent much of the 18-19 season with the Utah Jazz

Kyle Korver has been linked with the likes of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Los Angles Lakers over the past week, although ESPN is reporting that the veteran is set to join the Milwaukee Bucks:

Free-agent guard Kyle Korver has agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. Korver labored over a decision between the Bucks and 76ers, but his history and relationship with coach Mike Budenholzer played a significant role in his ultimate choice

Korver was among the most coveted free agents remaining on the market, and the Bucks have added one of the NBA's best three-point shooters. The 38-year-old sits third on the all-time list of three-pointers made and his career percentage of 43% is among the highest in the NBA. Korver played under coach Mike Budenholzer in Atlanta, and the veteran is expected to offer shooting from the Bucks' bench.

Anthony Davis believes Chicago is the 'Mecca of Basketball'; would consider playing for the Bulls

Anthony Davis will link up with LeBron James in Los Angeles next season

Ahead of free agency, Anthony Davis completed a blockbuster trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. Davis will be joined in Los Angeles by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George -- both of whom signed for the Clippers, although the 26-year-old believes that Chicago remains the basketball capital:

Chicago is the Mecca of basketball and you can quote me on that.

Davis grew up in Chicago idolizing Michael Jordan and the All-Star remains open to the prospect of playing for the Bulls:

I mean, (this is) definitely hometown, If the opportunity ever presents itself and when that time comes, I’d definitely consider it.

Davis will become an unrestricted free agent next summer, although the former Pelicans man is expected to re-sign with the Lakers or head to New York with the Knicks.
