On January 25, Beijing time, according to US media reports, more details about the Houston Rockets and John Wall's transaction were exposed, and recently, the Rockets were asked by several teams for Wall, but Wall's contract amount was too large, and these teams simply looked at Wall's situation. In addition, several teams are also discussing a deal with the Rockets about Wood.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the season, the Clippers were very interested in getting Wall, but the Clippers' goal before the trade deadline is not clear.
In addition, the rumors that the Lakers want to exchange Wall with Wei Shao, the report also confirmed. However, the Rockets are not very interested in Westbrook, but the team is only interested in solving Wall's problems. In order to be able to reach a deal, the Lakers must base more chips on the Rockets, and possibly pull in a third party.
According to sources, the Rockets want to get the Lakers' 2027 first-round show, but it is not known whether the Lakers are willing to put this first-round pick into the deal.
For Tucker, he may have caught the Rockets' attention before then, but now his 3-year, $30 million contract, coupled with his poor performance, makes the Rockets not interested.
After the Rockets' Wall deal scandal leaked out, multiple teams even traded the Rockets' Christian Wood, with the Heat being one of several teams more interested in making the deal. However, for this transaction, the Rockets will not trade Wood before the closing date of the transaction, unless the other party gives a very surprise offer.
For the Rockets, the team has also been offered by many teams, but the limitations of his contract situation, coupled with the vague market value of Wall, and more importantly, this season, Wall has not yet played for the team, so It is difficult for Wall to be traded by the team.
Today, Wall has two years left on his current contract, earning $43.85 million a year this season and a player option the following year.
