    If he plays for our team, I'll give any player a chance.

    Heck, I don't even like House, but I cheer for him most games.

    Wall has had issues with alcohol abuse but we got John Lucas on staff so who knows.

    If he's healthy, i'm optimistic.

    Hands down definitely the better playmaker which Harden needs. Westbrook made too many costly turnovers and risky passes. At least Wall has better IQ which will benefit the overall team than just Westbrook rushing down the lane and missing layups

    I'm assuming you mean instant upgrade next to Harden when Harden is sitting on the bench next to Wall wearing a suit. There is no way in hell this man is going to have a full healthy season and you people are delusional if you really expect him to play more than 30 games this season.

    westbrick wasn't going to play a full season either. I'll tip jar bet he plays more than 30 games. that's easy money

    You sure? He played 41 in 17-18 and he played 32 in 18-19 and 0 in 19-20.

    And also, can somebody please name a single player who missed damn near two full seasons to injuries and came back at even close to what they were previously? The closest I can come up with is Grant Hill and while he certainly came back to have a productive career he was still a shadow of his former self.

    Remember Steve Francis.....

    .....when he came back to Houston in 2008?

    That should be your baseline

    I'm interested in seeing him play. Are the injuries he's had the kind other athletes (in recent years) struggled to recover from? Does he rely on explosive athleticism like Westbrook?

    Don't like the trade right now, on paper we got worse, but I'll definitely give Wall a chance.

    If he stays healthy, plays well and peforms in the playoffs then fans will definitely be forgiving.

    Load manage him and if he needs knee braces, ankle support etc do what you need to do.

    We definitely need to build the bench ilke Dallas then, unheralded players who contribute.

    If he’s healthy like everyone is saying he is... I don’t see how any one can think he’s not a better fit than Westbrook.

    Wall is a better defender and isn’t a drama Queen. 20 and 9? Plus almost 2 steals a game? And a better 3 point shooter? How wouldn’t this be an upgrade??

    but once again it boils down to health.
