The purpose of the Houston Rockets trading Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards in exchange for John Wall was twofold: The Rockets could ship out an unhappy player, but also bring in a new guy who star James Harden might be interested in playing with.
It doesn’t seem like that second part is going to happen.
ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Monday morning that Wall’s arrival from Washington has changed nothing for Harden. He’s “unmoved and uninterested” in forming a partnership with Wall and still wants the Rockets to trade him so he can get a “fresh start” with a new team.
