    Over a million dollars a game. He must be really good!

    I’m down for that. He is definitely the most mature of the young core. I am never worried that he will turn the ball over on drives. He’s got a good handle too.

    While making sure he doesn't pick up a massive injury.

    I find it so odd that this is even controversial. Almost none of us wanted to see Wall in the lineup before the season began. I guess now that we're 1-10 you guys are desperate enough to try anything?

    I just don't care. We have to pay somebody. It's whatever. He'll be gone next year. And we all knew as soon as they announced it that it was more likely that he was gone next year than this year, right?

    Paul drew a contrast between the situation with Simmons and that of Rockets guard John Wall, another of his clients, who is being paid by Houston while sitting out the season, even though he is healthy enough to play. “John is able to play, but Houston is OK using the (Collective Bargaining Agreement) to pay him not to play,” Rich Paul said. “So which way is it? John is perfectly healthy and ready to play, and it’s OK in the CBA. We are being professional with both instances, but how can it go both ways? John and the Rockets have been professional about their situation, and we are also expecting the same with the 76ers.”

    JVG was wrong. One must always choose the lesser of two weevils. It's the right move, it does no harm, and only good. Wall's game is atheletic, not a thinking game, so he cannot mentor the yutes. He can only take away time from their learning and growth.

    Ridiculous quote from Rich Paul. The difference is the Rockets don't want John Wall to play and Wall has agreed to sit out. The Sixers want Ben SImmons to play but he is refusing to do so. Those situations couldn't be any more different.

    Fair… Will he make Green play better than KPJ does though? Will he be able to not turn the ball over 82 times a game?

    Playing John Wall would interfere with the Tank.

    He ruined the season for you? How exactly did he ruin the season? Him being out has resulted in so much success ?

    Play him instead of KPJ and we'd have won a few games.

    Beautiful. Keep attempting to develop KPJ.

    Keep John Wall in bubble wrap until he is expiring.
