    KPJ will be the starting PG by middle of next season.

    Just who KPJ needs to mentor him.

    I'm ok with that

    He's underrated on this board. Is he overpaid right now? sure..

    Yeah, I sorta agree. If we can get assets for him, great; if not, let KPJ learn from him. People have blamed Wall for the skid and that's just not fair. Wall has averaged 20+ PPG, his three ball has been okay, he's played good defense, and his TS%, while low, has been much better than Westbrook's.

    I think JW would be a tremendous 3rd option.

    Allow him to make plays and distribute the ball to two other elite level players, surround him with scorers...

    Why not? He'll be good for 16/7 a game two years from now.

    And, veteran leadership will be key during the rebuild.

    This is a false trail to drive up Wall’s value. Wall hates small ball and hates that his butt-buddy ain’t here. We need to ride this all the way down. Can’t tank half-way.

    Got a feeling most teams are just offering a bag of cheetos and maybe a twinkie or two for him. Rockets are going to try to get as much as possible from him. I'm ok with that. It's not like this team is championship bound next year.

    Hahaha. I mean. They have to say this because what an absolutely horrendous contract. Hilarious when you consider the reason tilman exiled CP3.

    B-b-b-b-b-b-ut trust tilman and stone

    If Jrue holiday doesn’t re-sign with Milwaukee this off-season, I can totally see MIL going for Wall in a deal. They will have no picks to go find a PG and there will be no PGs near Jrue level available this offseason. Also, a Wall/Giannis pick and roll combo is pretty solid..

    It's not everyday you find out that you're responsible for three billion deaths. He's taking it pretty well. We're judging Wall on things that he havsn't even done yet.

    Rockets might have traded multiple lottery picks to downgrade from an All-NBA PG to this scrub lmao

    In other words, the teams interested saw the pricetag and turned away. Also known as, "Sticker Shock."
