So far this season, the Houston Rockets' record has been 11 wins and 31 losses, ranking fifteenth in the West, it is not difficult to see that this season is another year of running, but fortunately, the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic have given the Rockets the bottom, and their record will not be particularly ugly.
The Rockets are still mainly to cultivate young players this season, so most of the time they appear on the court are a group of young people, but in their lineup, there is a player with an annual salary of 43.85 million, he has not been able to play, has been pressed on the bench by the Rockets, and has not played a single game for the team so far this season.
Since the departure of James Harden, the Rockets' performance can be said to have plummeted, and the team's record has formed a huge contrast. In the 2019-20 season, the Rockets also played in the playoffs and fought with the Thunder in seven innings to advance; in the 2020-21 season, Harden left the team, and the Rockets became unable to play, and even the playoffs could not enter. Last season, the Rockets chose to trade Westbrook to the Wizards in exchange for Wall, and at the same time signed Wood and others, fans thought that the Rockets' record this season would improve, but Wall's continued absence made the team's record plummet. However, the Rockets are now mainly developing young players, and the team hopes that Wall can give up time to Green to grow.
Now the Rockets' attitude toward Wall is not to trade or buy out, to sit on the bench and receive nearly 44 million in salary, and never to give Wall a minute to play. The arrogant Wall also chose to continue to be tough with the Rockets, not to play without giving the identity of the starter, and the Rockets are not accustomed to Wall, that is, not to give Wall the starter, which is also the source of contradictions between the two sides. Now that the Rockets are in a state of flux, it is still no problem to eat Wall's huge salary, but if they want the young players in the lineup to grow, they should introduce some high-quality players to guide young players, rather than choosing to fight with Wall to the end.
Wall averaged 20.6 points and 6.9 assists per game in 32.2 minutes per game last season. Presumably, this is one of the reasons for Wall's arrogance. It's just that the Rockets are already in the rebuilding phase and have the core team in the backcourt such as Jaylen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., Armony Brooks and Josh Christopher, and they are running to practice this season, so it doesn't make much sense for the team to continue to let Wall play.
Now Wall only has two ways to go, either with the Rockets management, coaching staff to the end, continue to "waste years" in the Rockets and get the salary of the current big contract, or is a grievance, accept the conditions of the Rockets as a substitute player and return to the game. These are the two paths in front of Wall, and it seems that Wall most likely chose the first one, and there is no news about Wall's compromise, so there is a high probability that Wall will not fight for the Rockets for the next period of time.
