    Good stuff. Looks like Wall will be a big locker room leader.

    I like this guy to build around in the event of Hardens departure. If he stays fit he and Woods could be a couple of nice foundation pieces.

    We need leaders on this team and it looks like John will be one of them. I like having a “true” PG on the floor to help get guys where they need to be. CP gave us that when he was here. Russ didn’t do that cause he is not a real PG.

    It’s obvious this year’s team is going to be a big problem for singular vs. plural. Here’s A refresher on what we’ve got now:

    Singular Wall
    Singular Wood
    Plural Cousins

    All the remaining incumbent players are still singular, except Clemons who is plural.

    John is such a good looking guy and a great public speaker. I can listen to him talking all day.

    The part about wanting to extend his career was encouraging. Those are the kind of words I wanted to hear from Westbrook.

    Everyone's already said it because it's evident, it jumps off the screen - Wall looks and sounds like a leader. Maybe he's just a more polished speaker because he had to develop that quality in a market like D.C., I don't know, but it's just a different vibe you don't get from Harden in interviews. I really hope Wall can stay healthy.

    Main reason John Wall is a Leader.
    Has helped lead D.C in underprivileged neighborhoods.
    He helps children in Hospitals, literally has friendships with kids on a personal level.

    So much community work. Houston Kids need him.

    For years I appreciated John Wall the player and person. Great person and a Great Leader.

    What I found confusing is the seemed genuinely upset about the trade. Not that he didn't want to come to Houston but more so he was happy in DC. I thought all the reports was suggesting Wall was disgruntled in DC and wanted out. Which is it?

    I liked Wall's enthusiasm and he looked quick/sharp in that highlight.

    He wasn’t upset about the trade. He just had a lot of people there he had to say goodbye to
