    No way Wall ever suits up for this team.

    If you’re not excited about this deal it’s because you’re still in denial that they traded for Russ in the first place.

    given that they did... I assume you watched last season?? At his best in the regular season it still didn’t look “right”. It still looked mostly like empty stats being pushed by pure athleticism.

    There’s lots of other deals I would have preferred. Those weren’t available.

    ASSUMING John Wall is healthy he’s a clear better fit next to Harden. He’s an upgraded shooter and defender. He fits the style better and doesn’t take as many ****ing insane mod range turnaround jumpers.

    if he’s not healthy... well at least he’s not Westbrook. Who when he wasn’t at his best for a month last year was horrible and was especially so in the playoffs where horrible is too kind a word.

    The fact that it proves to the dummies that thought he was washed and shut them up. Everything tbh

    the reports are saying Hou-Was GMs hadn’t spoken in weeks until re-engaging today. So it’s probably his not reporting that caused it.

    I get it but come on. He’s saying he won’t show up so we’ll trade a 3rd team all nba player for a guy who hasn’t played since 2018 and gives us no cap relief???
    You always have a choice if you’re Stone. He has no balls and really choked this up. What happened to “we’re willing to get uncomfortable”. What a load of crap.

    You're the only one. I feel like this team is going to be very similar the first year Chris Paul Rockets team that almost made the Finals.

    Wall is a far better playmaker, defender and shooter then Russ.

    I disagree, a healthy Wall is an upgrade to Westbrook as far as elevating a team.
