The Houston Rockets made what felt like a lose-lose trade when they traded John Wall for Russell Westbrook. However, they moved on from the triple-double machine after trading James Harden was dealt to Brooklyn.
The Rockets knew, at that time, it was going to be a long-term rebuild. The oft-injured Wall opted to not play despite being healthy, planning to be traded. However, given his contract, it seems there weren’t many takers.
Wall will now return to the organization and seemingly wants to play for Houston, despite the Rockets having the worst record in the NBA.
