Still at the Rockets to this day, trade-deadline-the-latest-rumours-ben-simmons-myles-turner-dennis-schroder-we-take-stock-3-weeks-before-the-gong/” title=”NBA Trade Deadline – the latest rumours: Ben Simmons, Myles Turner, Dennis Schroder… we take stock 3 weeks before the gong!”>John Wall hopes to return to the NBA courts shortly. Nevertheless, the franchise refuses to let him go… and the leader has no intention of giving up his emoluments: an additional problem for the player, who must find the time long.
It’s been a long time now that John Wall has not walked the floors, in agreement with the Rockets. The franchise began a long reconstruction, in which the point guard did not really have a place. Its goal ? Finding a trade to potentially help a team towards the title.
Except that since then, this soap opera has not progressed much. Wall waxes the bench, and Houston lives a rather difficult season, with few victories. Quite naturally, the former Wizard asked to come back: his staff refused. As the deadline approaches, some fans are hoping this episode can come to an end.
The John Wall case at an impasse
But as always, it is the leader’s contract that is the problem. With almost 90 million to be received over the next two years, no one really wants to recover Wall. It can be useful, but not at this price. Only solution ? A potential buyout, where the interested party would have to give up a good part of this money.

If he really wants to find the floors, at least as soon as possible, Wall must find an agreement with his leaders to terminate the contract. But according to Bleacher Report, via Jake Fischer, he doesn’t feel like it right now. We have to believe that this soap opera will have an outcome next year, and not before.
John Wall seems stuck in Houston with no desire to take any buyouts, sources say.
Next year, in his last year of contract, Wall can hope to be traded, but not before. By waiving the buyout, it seems in any case clear that he should not land on the floors for a while.
John Wall stuck in Houston, yes, even if the point guard is not ready for everything to leave either. He’ll have to wait until next year, and that’s the best-case scenario. Fans are still hoping for a miracle.
