It's so crazy to me. I see people here talking about "the Rockets clearly believe Wall is healthy". Why? What if they don't care if he's healthy? What if they'd actually prefer he isn't so they can collect insurance and Tillman can save 100 million dollars over the next three years? This was a money saving move with a heavily protected pick thrown in to save face. AND I HATE RUSSELL WESTBROOK! Just not as much as I hate Tillman Fertitta. He can eat a whole bag of dicks.
I wanted to keep him and try to trade him later on this season, or at the end of the season. John Wall + a very heavily protected FRP does not get me excited. That said, maybe we had no other option. Maybe we had to choose between two terrible options. But no, I don't like the trade.
If Russ wasn’t going to play and we were going to try and compete with Harden then this was the only way. We were screwed the second we traded for CP3. I thought WB was a good trade because he and Harden could work it out where CP3 and Harden couldn’t plus health. I was wrong. Wall hasn’t played NBA competitive basketball in two years. That’s scary, I don’t care how much you hate WB.
John Wall is Westbrook with no Achilles. He's not a good fit next to Harden and hasnt played basketball in 2 years. Yay?
I was very excited when the Rockets acquired Westbrook and we all see how that turned out. I've never been a fan of John Wall and he has been injured forever. If Wall can return to form, then it's a good trade because Westbrook was not coming back anyways.
Read about how heavily insured Wall's contract is. If he doesn't play they are making claims on insurance.
Cp3 2.0. The team is now same as western finals, Only Small forward Ariza position needs to upgrade will be perfect. Cp3 = wall Caplea = Cousions and wood Tucker Harden Ariza ? Sign a backup on guard and a good small forward will be perfect.
Wall can ball on D and is the greatest assist guard when he was on the Wizards. #1 pick too. Health is the question.
I’m mixed on yes and wait and see.......but I voted yes. I do feel John Wall is a better fit next to Harden. This article points out some details. Examples of Ast% and USG%. https://hoopshabit.com/2020/11/27/washington-wizards-trades-john-wall/5/
It does to Tilman and thats why this trade was made. To save money if he goes down and we probably expect him to go down sometime in the future. Cash in the pocket baby.
