Just a few months ago, John Wall was finding himself with some issues within the Houston Rockets organization. Overall, it was clear that he didn’t really want to be there. The team was going with a much younger group of players, and at the end of the day, Wall got the short end. In the media, Wall was very adamant that his time with the Rockets was “beyond trash.” Furthermore, he noted that he would never want to play for an organization like that again.
In the off-season, Wall was able to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers. This made him the starting point guard for players like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. However, Wall hasn’t been playing all that well. Subsequently, the Los Angeles Clippers have been looking for a way to get rid of Wall. There has been speculation that he would either be traded or be bought out entirely. Well, today is the trade deadline and it seems like the Clippers have found a trade suitor.
John Wall Back To Houston
Unfortunately, for John Wall, that trade suitor just so happens to be the Houston Rockets. This trade involves three teams, including the Clippers, the Rockets, and the Memphis Grizzlies. This was a deal that they had been looking to make for a while, and while they aren’t getting a huge return for John Wall, they can now go out and pursue a new point guard. There have been numerous reports suggesting that they would go after Russell Westbrook. Russ is currently on the Jazz, although they would rather just buy out his contract. Having said that, Westbrook could prove to be a great fit for that team.
Overall, this is a very sad situation for Wall whose future is now up in the air. He certainly won’t be happy to find himself back in Houston. Overall, it remains to be seen what he is going to do next. Hopefully, Wall finds a new NBA home that isn’t Houston, sooner rather than later.
