    ...what's your favorite John Wall moment in his official second stint with the Rockets? John Wall is this generation's Aaron Brooks.

    If I could use one word to describe John Wall's two stints with the Rockets, it would be:

    He was a consummate professional. Hoped he retired a Rocket.

    Remember that time when Wall single handedly tanked the season so we could get Green? GOOD TIMES!

    Not many players averaged 20 and 7 for their entire rockets career.

    We needed a veteran PG and we got one. We would be fools to not extend him for a lifetime contract.

    You know what? F**k John Wall. He was offered a bench role last year and said no because he wanted to compete for the starting job. He takes his money then goes on a podcast trashing the team. Now he's used as dead weight and is on the street. So f**k him - he can compete for a job in the Big 3 now.

    We need to interview him so he can say how the Clippers did him dirty.

    The Rockets will be unwatchable without Wall's contribution:

    It's what happens to players who rely on other-worldly athleticism. They get injured and/or old and suddenly have nothing to fall back on. Westbrook and Wall are two sides of the same coin.
