    It's a real damn shame they didn't come to blows and injure each other so they couldn't play.

    Wall is just not my favorite guy.
    He is so arrogant.

    Did House try to blame Wall for something? Seems to be his MO ask Tyson Chandler.

    I like Westbrook is a player and teammate better but Wall is better for the direction of this franchise. Westbrook usage is still way high . We complain about wall(and rightfully so) but it’s not the Wall show out there. With Westbrook it would become the Westbrook show, and we wouldn’t be In t he position we’re in to get a top 4 pick. Westbrook here would be treadmilling. I’m in DC and he hasn’t been spectacular but he would have us around .500 basketball.

    intersesting enough Bradley loves Westbrook and says he’s the best teammate ever. When other star players say that about you it says something. I remember when wall went down with injury for the wizards the teammates were saying thing were better like ball movement and they liked how the team played with Wall out.

    Nope.

    KPJ and Wood would be bystanders to the Russ show, even more than they are now.

    This is the most believable rumour I’ve ever read on here

    You guys know Westbrook would be putting up 50 shots a game if he was here instead of wall right.

    Also WB dipped before Harden did, he wanted no part of the rebuild

    So he fled for perennial powerhouse - the Wizards. God we're in a bad way.

    And he went to a team that has won 4 more games than the Rockets without the injury problems the Rockets have had....

    If we still had that godawful chucker he might be averaging 50 points per game on 56 shots per game but the Rockets wouldn't be remarkably better off for it, they could easily be worse off for it.

    Wall is kind of terrible but give me him over Westbrook any day of the week.

    Westbrook has “led” the Wizards, in the East, to a record 11 games BELOW .500 and you think he would have this sorry collection of injury prone talent around .500 in the tougher conference?

    Westbrook would be driving this tank just as effectively as Wall.

    More complimentary pieces in Boston than Washington. Westbrook has been better than wall this year.

    It seems to me Wall has been getting the message the last few games. He broke down the defense yesterday a ton of times and passed out to the 3 point line. He could easily have had another 5 assists if anybody could shoot. Still would rather see KPJ get the minutes, but if Wall continues to distribute when Wood gets back, he could still be a valuable player. Don’t get me wrong, I would still love to unload him, but that ain’t gonna happen. We won’t be in the lottery next year if the roster stays relatively healthy. This is not a contending line-up but it is probably a playoff team:

    Wall
    Wood
    KPJ or Gordan
    Tate or Olynk
    Rookie if Get top pick or Wilson or KMJ

    Gordan or KPJ
    Brown
    House
    Wilson
    Rookie
    Rookie
    MLE vet

    Doesn’t reflect any trades we might make with all our Picks, House, Bradley, etc.

    But more importantly, without Wood you cannot have a Wall for the House to stand.

    Protected by Stone gates, which without Wood, one cannot have a Wall for the House to stand
