    I'm gonna root for anyone that can play. So mainly Wood. Wall is on load management why would u cheer for him if he can't even play.

    Wall doesn't suck, i just think placing my hopes on a dude who hasn't played in 2 years to take us to the playoffs after harden is gone is just setting u up for disappointment.

    Kevin Durant is a generational talent. He could go out there on one leg and drop 30 points because he has unlimited range and stands at 7 feet tall. His game will age well, and he will still be unstoppable. Defensively is where he could take a step back.

    That’s an answer a leader would provide to the media that’s hunting like wolves for a new James harden story to run with. He’s had some obvious media savvy since coming here TBH; saying all the right things.

    I can see why he feels the way he does though - 13 still wanting out basically means he thinks Wall/Cousins can’t help him win a chip.

    Wall thinks he’s still got juice, and after seeing Durant tonight, I think he might too!

    James is great at not being a leader

    Wall and Cousins have been the players most disgruntled with Harden, and they didn’t hide it, league sources say. This should come as no major surprise after Wall and Cousins publicly blasted Harden following Tuesday’s loss. But there was animosity between Wall and Harden from the beginning of their relationship, league sources say. Wall still sees himself as a player who can be the face of the franchise and felt like Harden was holding him and the team back from reaching their potential, league sources say. As the days passed, the annoyance across the team only grew.

    Time to trade Wall (hell even Boogie if necessary) - neither are the future of the Rockets and both now have some positive value.

    I don't think Wall has any value yet, even with his decent good play to start the season. I think you'll have to at least give him until half the season so teams are convinced.

    Of course this was true, everything bad that came out has been true.

    Agreed that contract length alters value.

    But still believe it depends more on team need and if they believe one piece away to seriously contend or move from bottom of playoffs to middle/top.

    Trade deadline will be interesting but teams realize that this shortened season may require an earlier move.
