The Houston Rockets and John Wall were always an interesting combination. He was traded by the Washington Wizards to Houston in a trade that also included former MVP guard Russell Westbrook.
Since then, it was clear that the Rockets weren’t going to be a long-term home for Wall. After former Wildcat teammate DeMarcus Cousins was bought out of his contract, it felt like the time was ticking for Wall.
However, given his max-value deal, there was never going to be a buyout. The Rockets are now trying to find Wall a new home, but it may be difficult given his production compared to his contract.
