The Rockets in order to tear down the rebuild almost threw off all the valuable players in the team last season, the current veterans are only Left Gordon and John Wall, in fact, Gordon is not short of home, with excellent three-point shooting ability and defensive ability, if the Rockets choose to trade Gordon it is easy to send him out, but Wall, now it seems very likely to fall in the hand, after all, the huge contract of 91.7 million US dollars for two years makes the rest of the league prohibitive, because the injury Wall fell too quickly from the peak, Now he is no longer the leader of the team who can lead the team to victory, and he has become a trainer for the Rockets to develop new players!
In 2010, Wall was selected by the Washington Wizards as a champion, and after entering the league, he showed great talent and won the honor of the best rookie in the Eastern Division for three consecutive months in 2011, and in September 2012, Wall suffered an emergency fracture and was suspended for about 8 weeks, but this injury did not have a great impact on himself, and in 2013, the Wizards renewed the champion early with a five-year, $80 million contract, which is also the third-largest contract extension in the history of the Wizards It is clear that Wald's performance has made the player management very satisfied. In 2014, Wall was named an All-Star, playing as a substitute in the Eastern Conference, and Wall also participated in that year's dunk contest, with the classic dunk of the Leap Wizards mascot, Wall won that year's dunk contest championship.
In 2012, they selected Bradley Beal with the third pick in the first round, and the combination of Bill and Wall became the core of the Wizards' lineup for a long time, but the combination of the two people always overpowered Bill and was the big boss of the team, but although this pair of combinations often led the team to the playoffs, it never touched the championship. In 2017, the Wizards again issued a 4-year, $170 million super top salary contract to renew Wall, after the renewal of Wall played a phenomenal performance, repeatedly refreshed the Wizards' team history record, but unfortunately the good times did not last long In the 2019-20 season, Wall received a season reimbursement for left heel surgery, and as a result, during the recuperation period, Wall broke his left Achilles tendon due to accidental fall, the recovery time was extended again, and The career of Wall, who suffered two major injuries in a row, underwent a qualitative change in his career.
In 2020, the Rockets reached a deal agreement with the Wizards in order to send away the team' Westbrook and the Wizards, Wall and Westbrook exchanged owners, Wall did not have the original explosiveness and tolerance after returning from injury, in April 2020, Wall again missed all the remaining regular season games due to a hamstring injury, and at the end of the season, Wall and the Rockets reached a settlement and said that they could peacefully break up and part ways, and before they were sent away, Wall would no longer play for the Rockets, but was only responsible for the cultivation of young players. It can be said that the current Wall is the happiest player in the league, with an annual salary of up to $40 million, does not need to play just to cultivate new people, the Rockets do not have any way, Wall's big contract makes all teams prohibitive, after the big injury, Wall is more suspicious than Westbrook, the Rockets want to send away Wall at present, it may be difficult to do it without peeling off the skin.
I have to say that the impact of injuries on athletes is too great, Wall from the leader of the team to the current freshman trainer has only experienced two seasons of time, the Rockets' treatment of Wall is to think about how to digest the big contract on Wall, the Rockets do not accept the buyout, the transaction is the only way out, it depends on what kind of escort chips the Rockets are willing to give in order to send away Wall, for the championship team, Wall's significance is not great, the most important thing is the hidden danger of injury, For the rebuilding team, Wall's age is obviously not appropriate, the current choice in front of the Rockets is relatively narrow, depending on what kind of choice the management will eventually make, for Wall, after the end of this big contract, I am afraid that there will never be a team to issue a big contract, if you play well, you can get tens of millions of annual salaries or millions of annual salaries is already a good treatment.
After Wall left, Bill became the new leader of the Wizards, and this season's Wizards have played a phenomenal performance, and now they are in the first place in the East with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, while the Rockets have experienced a wave of 11 consecutive losses, and the two former teammates are now in a real situation.
