It was reported the other day that the Heat are one of the teams considering recruiting John Wall, but Wall's move to the Heat is based on a buyout contract with the Rockets, which is still unlikely to become a reality.
According to us media mark Stein, wall and the rocket have reached an impasse when discussing a potential contract buyout, which also means that the Heat and Clippers are unlikely to sign a player like Wall in the free agent market at this time:
"If Wall becomes a free agent, the Clippers and Heat are among the teams known to be interested in Wall, but it's unrealistic for Wall to reach a buyout contract with the Rockets, who has $44.3 million this season and a $47.4 million player option next season, a contract that's almost identical to Westbrook's."
Wall hasn't played a single game for the Rockets this season and wasn't efficient overall last season, so with this contract, any team pushing for a deal involving Wall would be extremely risky.
On the other hand, according to Open Air Stand reporter Jack Fisher, the Heat are also a team interested in Christian Wood, and the Rockets want a "substantial return" through Wood's trade:
Even if the Heat are still suffering from injuries, they can still have the top record in the Eastern Conference at the moment, which is a very good choice for Wood if he can join the Heat.
Finally, Kevin Porter Jr. missed team training due to non-COVID-19 illness, but Rockets coach Stephen Silas said Potter will return to the game tomorrow:
"I think he'll be free tomorrow, this time the disease is not infected with the new crown virus, he is just sick, I hope he can be ready tomorrow."
Kevin Porter Jr. is also a very anticipated young player in this Rockets team, and the team also needs him to continue to be healthy and perform on the court.
