    Much respect and why should he give money back? The Rockets traded for him and are accountable for him not playing last year.

    We the Fans of the Houston Rockets are most thankful that Wall has gone!
    I wonder will this increase how much we have to use to play the players,,
    especially the Free Agents we might be interested in? Y

    He's going to get that $7 million back from the Clippers as their MLE. Win, win.

    Nah. We’re over the cap regardless. Only have the TPEs to spend. Tilman pocketed $7m, and we opened up a roster spot. That’s pretty much it.

    my lasting memory of Wall will be when he played some of the worst basketball I’d seen in awhile in that road game against the Wolves

    he definitely had Wolves gear tucked underneath his jersey…that was some elite level sabatoge

    This is the conclusion to a chain of events that started when Harden and CP3 couldn't find a way to work out their differences (and no coach or GM stepped in to force them to).

    CP3... Westbrook... Wall.

    Done. Finito.

    The new era has officially begun.

    I wish him well. He should have swallowed his ego and played off the bench for Houston.

    In just two years, the reconstruction of the team is going very well. Stone's work has been almost perfect in terms of draft selections; something we never saw with Morey (it's also true that he never had Stone's picks in his hands).
    The good thing is that some people already understood that there is life after Morey and Harden.

    This is actually insane. He quite literally hit the lotto.

    If they are in it, then that means some pretty bad things about a lot of the players on the team.....I thought Green was supposed to be the next Jordan?

    I get that it'll be a young team, but with this much talent if they don't win AT LEAST 30 games, basically everyone should be fired.

    We hit that lotto, in my opinion. Wall is out of our hair. The Wall has come tumbling down! Had he played, we likely would have missed on Jalen Green last year and Jabari Smith this year. It took balls for Stone to just sit Wall, when he was healthy and could have played, and probably played well. It must have been awkward as hell for Silas, having Wall, an All Star, sitting around. Crazy!

    This is GREAT NEWS!! I'm a happy camper tonight. :cool:

    Happy birthday, Derp!

    “Tank” or not, we’re going to be in the lottery again next year.
