Really? Sure, he played on average teams at best but individually he's easily top 10 passing point guards of his career. It's always very easy to tell which people don't actually follow the NBA as a whole when they post comments like this. Go actually look at the numbers, he's in a VERY small number of people to average over 10 assists a game in that timespan, and he's done it multiple times. What the **** do you expect, every number 1 pick to be Dream? He's more than held up his end of his draft position, y'all are just too idiotic to understand that because of one season playing with us under the worst NBA coach ever.
Did we ever think this "mutual agreement" of sitting out the rest of the season and "mentoring" the players would work? I'm glad the Rockets are not caving in to this spoiled brat. Let him rot and sit around his $40+ million that he's making this season while we develop a team here.
We don't need to win. We need to tank. Unfortunately, Silas is still trying to figure this team out. Chemistry has to be built with this team for the future moving forward.
Wall could end this in 5 minutes. All he has to do is decline his player option for next year. He can't have things both ways. He cannot expect to get 40+ million dollars next year and expect the Rockets to give up draft picks just to facilitate a trade. The KPJ experiment is not working. Give Wall an ultimatum. Play or decline your option for next year.
We MUST tank. Get a top 3 pick, get rid of Silas, Wall, Ego, House, Wood and start over. A well needed catharsis
Honestly, between SIlas' coaching and the talent gap this team has relative to the rest of the league, having tank commander on the floor wouldn't hurt, especially in terms of player development for Green, Sengun, JC, etc.
John wall is doing us and himself a favor. We all know his body won’t hold up. Better to sit there and shut up and think about tomorrow. He’s a trade chip next season.
It doesn't really matter what Wall thinks, if he wasn't a massively overpaid scrub, they'd trade him, but no one would even allow us to dump him on them. Just keep cashing them checks as the next Gilbert Arenas.
Which is why I think Wall sees his career as over. His choice is basically between getting the rest of his contract paid for, or playing in the NBA again. If he stays here and gets paid to sit for 2 years, nobody is giving him a contract after that time. 2 years is way too long to be out of the league at his age. His other option would be to sacrifice money in order to play enough that he has a contract after this one.
he won't be sitting for 2 years. at some point next year hell be traded in his final year. Then after that he'll sign min deals to play wherever to ring chase. wall's career isn't over. There's plenty of teams that will sign him for cheap. They just obviously don't want him at supermax
Who's trading 47m for an expiring contract? Make the math work, seriously, go find one team who can match that salary anywhere in the league? I'd love to see a single trade proposal that would actually work, because as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist. That's the big problem with all of these theories, the money doesn't work for any team in the league. You either have to give up more players than we can take in, or your actual superstars.
this is 1 of the weirdest situations they won’t do a buyout, and they want to trade him, but won’t play him making it less likely he’ll get traded he goes to practice and will do whole pre-game workouts and shootarounds just to chill on the bench once the game starts Why even have him around the team?
someone will. the only thing that matters is it's a massive expiring deal. and teams across the league have plenty of guys on their roster who they regret giving big contracts to. lets not act like there isn't a list full of players on bad contracts. being an expiring is significantly different than sitting on a multi year super max.
