    I think this trade will be talked about til the deadline
    Both players want to move . . .and want to play
    no other teams is willing to play ball and be anywhere near fair
    Every other team is gonna try to Eat the 6ers and Rockets' cornbread

    I point out that Wall would not sit a whole yet this summer
    when this news came out . . .. Like someone above said
    IF he sits 2 more yrs ., . .his next contract will be worse than DanUel House's contract
    His pride won't allow for that
    He is probably truly expecting 20 Mil a year after this contract
    and any team giving it to him is foolish

    I don't care about Wall, just how the young players view the situation and how it can cause a cancer to grow...

    ‘reports say’ he is the opposite of cancer; until I hear something to change that I support what is going on

    Wall made a $131,000 today, I think he may pick up a basketball for another $131,000 tomorrow. The craziest thing is he gets a raise next year to $141,000 a day. I think it its save to assume he is okay with whatever, as most would be if placed in the same surreal situation. His checks really cash and really keep coming. He is by most standards the most fortunate man alive. Why would he not ride it out, so he can play basketball and worry about his next contract, please.

    I hope he finds happiness in helping others because he really could make a difference for many. It’s amazing how level head he comes across in interviews.

    I think he'll be back within the 1st few games unless Rockets go on a season's best win streak of 3 games...

    Ya... if he starts being a pain in the ass they send him home. I honestly don't want to see Wall influencing KPJ. You can see alot of Walls game being oozed into KPJ. There is a reason why Harden saw Wall and so no chance at competing.

    Don’t see it as an issue. He’s been super professional

    if there aren’t any takers at some point in there season, it may be in the interest of both parties to showcase him a bit. Either way I think he’s fine. He doesn’t want to injure himself playing on a team like this and jeopardize what’s left of his career

    Will Tilman jump off a bridge if he can't trade Wall and John opts in on that final year
    of $47 million......while sitting out again next season.

    The each playing nicey-nice might end.
