John Wall continues to sit out due to disagreement with Rockets over potential role, according to reports

Former All-Star Point Guard John Wall told Houston Rockets that he wants to start playing for the team again soon, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Wall hasn’t competed this season while the team tries to facilitate a trade to a more competitive situation. However, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Tuong will continue to sit out due to disagreement on the role. Wall is said to want to start games and compete for that role while the Rockets prefer it if he comes on from the bench.

So far, however, with the massive contract and Wall’s thick history of trauma, there have been no buyers in the commercial market yet. While teams will certainly be interested in Wall if the two sides agree to buy him out permanently and he becomes a free agent, no competing team will give up what it takes to get him on the property. and salary.

That left Wall languishing on the bench all season. And while the initial deal makes sense in the short term, sitting out for a month is one thing; that’s another way to do so throughout the season.

Wall is clearly the team’s best player, but the Rockets are in the early stages of rebuilding and have two promising young bodyguards at Jalen Green, the #2 overall pick, and Kevin Porter Jr. The team’s main priority is to play and develop that duo, and Wall will have to accept the back seat. So far, it doesn’t seem like he wants to do so.

Without Wall on the field this season, the Rockets have been a disaster. They recently ended a 15-game losing streak, and currently have the worst record in the league at 3-16. The result is, Head coach Stephen Silas is said to be on the hot seat, although he is predicting the situation with confidence.

Bringing Wall back into the mix, even if only as an extra to the bench, is sure to help stabilize things a bit in Houston. He won’t be alone in bringing them back to the knockout stages at this stage of his career – the Rockets don’t even want that to happen, to be honest – but his skill and veteran presence It will solve some of their biggest problems such as revenue and criminal inefficiency.
