The Rockets have reportedly agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Wizards for John Wall and a 2023 projected first-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic's Shams Charania.
At its core, this high-profile trade mirrors a swap of super max extensions. Both players have three years and roughly $131 million remaining on their near-identical contracts, with each player holding an option to opt into the third year for $47 million.
Reports of Houston and Washington discussing this deal started circling two weeks ago, and while no details were revealed at the time, Charania reported that the Rockets were seeking more assets.
