John Wall gets fresh start with Rockets. Here's what he can expect
The Houston Rockets provide a change of scenery for John Wall.
As the point guard looks to re-establish himself from injuries that sidelined him the last two years, Wall is joining a Rockets team that is in transition. The 30-year-old was traded to Houston on Wednesday in exchange for Russell Westbrook, but more changes could be coming for Houston.
The Rockets have undergone a tumultuous offseason in which they’ve hired a new coach, traded a franchise star and may trade another.
Former MVP James Harden reportedly wants out of Houston, which has declined so far to give into his demand. But the saga will loom over Houston as long as Harden is there, making for an awkward fit with Wall.
