    There is no solution on this team and if KPJ never played on this team again I would not really care I just think people have some unreal expectations on the player and this team.

    Do I really need to? Wall is an actual point guard, has better handles and is more skilled than KPJ.... Has also actually been in The NBA how many years? Enough to be an all star 5 times.... These are the guys the rookies coming in to the league look forward to playing with, all their young life they have played with players who have tons of talent but aren't cut out for The NBA.... Up to now playing alongside KPJ for Green is all he has known. Playing with an all star point guard that at some point was considered a franchise players is not.

    Wall is not in Houston to compete for the franchise player spot, like I said earlier. Its a job, he can create better looks for Green and Sengun. He is a former star guard who still has a lot in the tank and is a proven NBA player. Wall is not deferring to anyone, he can go out and get his while also helping develop these young guys. If he can't do that then hell nah don't play Wall.... But if he accepts those terms I think it would help....

    They didn't just give up on him. He was there over a year and incidents kept piling up to the point they told him to stay away from the teem

    Wall already proclaimed himself the franchise player really WTF.

    Wall is selfish guy who has got traded from the Wizards because he could not get along with a star 2 guard and has refused to play for the Rockets and has demanded a trade, why the hell do you think he would accept those terms?

    He would be doing everything in his power to showcase himself for another team, you are delusional to think it would be anything more.

    So where is this Wall is refusing to play for Rockets coming from? Am I missing something? He was wanting to come back a few weeks ago and Stone said it was a mutual agreement. I'm either missing something or you are speculating.

    You said what I said just with more words. They gave up on their pick after one year

    Dude if you actually think he has not been refusing to play or that it's ok if it's a "mutual" agreement you are silly.

    Why do you keep ignoring his history of being a selfish player and how would that affect him playing with Green?

    So if Wall did accept those terms and wanted to help develop Green and Sengun you would be against it? You don't think Wall would provide anything positive for the young guys? IF he wanted to, not saying he would or he will...

    The point being the Cavs thought they could rehab him too. They knew him more than the Rockets did and look how it turned out, He was a cancer to the team so much so they asked him to stay away. The rockets have little invested in him. Why keep him when he is doing the same thing he was doing on the Cavs team is my point.

    Wall has shown he is not a team friendly dude. Did u not watch a season of him playing for us?
    He's more of a ball hog than Harden ever was but at least harden can actually hoop. Wall is way past his prime especially coming from serious injuries.

    Dude just stop there is nothing in his history that he would accept those terms so why are you dealing with in fantasy.

    If KPJ accepted terms to never be an issue would you accept those terms?

    I think he is providing stuff for the young guys currently by helping in practice what is your point, we know what kind of player he is and that he would do everything to spotlight himself so he can get on the next team.

    At least KPJ didn't retire at halftime like Antonio Brown so he's got that going for him.

    Both of yall are wrong, keep making $hit up to fit your narrative. And then leaving all the facts behind because those get in the way. Wall can still play, not for what his contract says but he can still play. Not wanting him to play so we can draft higher I understand but to think he will be a determent to the young guys is insane. Wood is a negative, KPJ is a negative...... Not Wall....

    You really don't need to lie to try and prove points, this is demonstrably false. Beal and Wall were super tight, according to Beal. It's like people think they can just make **** up and it'll stick...

    https://www.nbcsports.com/washingto...nal-goodbye-john-wall-and-playing-against-him

    "
    Throughout the years, there was constant speculation about whether they liked each other. Various reports suggested they couldn't coexist because their egos clashed.

    Beal decided to bring that up himself despite not being asked by a reporter.

    "A lot of people tried to break us apart, a lot of people tried to pull us apart and put us against each other. It was always crazy because whenever we came together and had those conversations, it was the total opposite. The rumors and the noise, it was the total opposite," he said. "

    Delusional. It's like u blocked out last season of wall shtting the bed. There was a reason why we called him tank commander. Bc he was actively being a shtty player that led to us racking up Ls.

    The org decided it best to sit him out bc he was negative influence on the rookie development bc he such a fking me first type of player.

    The org would rather sit his ass on the bench and pay him to not play that speaks volume of how bad wall is. He probably is better than kpj at distributing the ball but not by much.

    You do know that a huge part of talent evaluation is mental and emotional fortitude right? There's a reason hot heads and people with rap sheets slip in the draft.

    And? R we gonna b the franchise that repeat mistakes and fail to develop any players like kpj? Cause sooner or later we r gonna take a wild chance on a player like that. Don't b surprised if we give up also then for not addressing the org structure.

    So you actually believe that.

    If they were actually tight he never would have been traded.
