According to reports, the Lakers were close to signing John Wall before the 2022 trade deadline, but because the Lakers refused to give up the 2027 first-round draft pick and were unwilling to absorb more salaries, the deal was ultimately not promoted smoothly.
However, according to Greg Swartz, a reporter for the Open Stand, the Lakers may still sign several players this offseason, including Rockets backcourt John Wall:
"Players like Dragic, Ibaka, Jeremy Lamb, Tristan Thompson, Thaddeus Young and John Wall (with a buyout contract with the Rockets) should all be in the lakers' spotlight this offseason."
Wall's assumption of becoming a free agent in this offseason is whether he can reach a buyout contract with the Rockets, and for now it seems that the Rockets still want to promote a deal involving Wall.
On the other hand, the Rockets ushered in a game against the Suns on February 17, Beijing time, and core center Christian Wood and core backcourt Kevin Porter Jr. could not play this game for the Rockets:
For the Rockets, Wood and Porter are certainly the most important parts of the team, although there are still many young players in the Rockets who can help the team in the game against the Suns.
Finally, the famous Jenhei Skip-Belles discussed former Rocket superstar James Harden in a show, and in the past two years, Harden left the Rockets and nets and eventually joined the 76ers, which also caused outside dissatisfaction. On this show, Baylors slammed Harden's bad position as a teammate:
"James Harden left his second team completely in two years and I've dealt with him because he's a bad guy when it comes to basketball. I'm not saying in life, I'm talking about it as a team. ”
During his time with the Rockets, Harden could not succeed with either Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, and there were many claims that Harden was a personal problem, at least Skip Belles.
