    If I can fetch rotation assets + picks for John Wall, I'd trade him with no hesitation.

    We don't have a choice. His is the worst contract in NBA history. So yeah we will give him a chance.

    It doesn’t matter how well John Wall plays. This trade was idiotic. Could have gotten more.

    The answer is an obvious yes.

    Or were you expecting No let’s not and give up on the season?

    My concern is not his ability its the fact that he has played 73 games in 3 yrs.

    Even though Russ's value is sh**t, we can still play him, that would be better than a player that is likely not being able to play anymore and 1 heavily protected FRP. Unless Russ refuses to play for the Rockets anymore, which would be very unprofessional for him, I can't think of a reason why the Rockets made this trade.

    Wall has a few videos of pickup games this offseason...A few weeks ago he ran against Harden. Maybe it might just be Harden, but Wall blew right past him evenrytime they matched up...lol

    I'll give him many chances, but will his Achilles give him a chance?

    I believe he is a better fit next to Harden.

    I think also other players will benefit with Wall having a lot more control in his offence compared to Westbrook. The question is Walls health, can he come back to even 90%of what he was? And can he play more than 75% if a season?
