After joining the Rockets, John Wall played only 40 games for the Rockets, and with the departure of James Harden and the Rockets' focus on developing young stars, Wall made an agreement with the team not to play, and the Rockets promised to find a suitable home for Wall.
According to the US media Shams-Charania, the Clippers are currently the team that is more interested in Wall:
The Rockets have recently received calls from several teams about a possible trade for Wall, but those teams can only continue to monitor Wall's situation due to contract restrictions, the sources said. But the team that was really interested in Wall earlier this season was the Clippers, the sources said. ”
The Clippers are also suffering from injuries to leonard and George, and it is unclear whether they will ultimately push for a deal involving Wall.
On the other hand, there has been news in recent days that the Rockets will be willing to promote a deal involving Westbrook to exchange Wall in the event that the Lakers send out a first-round draft pick. According to the US media Mark Stein, if the two sides can indeed push for the deal, the Rockets will immediately enter the negotiations and try to buy out Westbrook's contract:
It's important to note that Westbrook still has a $47 million contract next season, and buying out such a contract won't be a simple task for any team.
Finally, according to the US media Kelly Iko, the Rockets are more likely to promote small trades before the trade deadline, and players like Daniel Theis, Nuwaba and DJ Augustine can attract the attention of some teams:
For the Rockets in the rebuilding phase, the trade to push the players will undoubtedly allow them to move forward with the rebuild, and this will be what the Rockets management wants to see.
