The Rockets are nearing the end of the season, the Rockets will go to the 9th of this month to challenge the Raptors, then return home to play a game with the Hawks, and then the Rockets will end all 82 regular season games this season, Jaylen Green and his friends have not made it to the playoffs, which means that they will end the season and go directly to the offseason.
However, the Rockets still have a lot of work to complete in the offseason, such as some inspection work before the draft conference, and the lottery ceremony before the draft conference - the Rockets are likely to draw the lottery, as well as the renewal and trade of some players, which are all things that the Rockets management needs to complete. One of the most important things was the handling of Rockets star point guard John Wall.
We know that before the start of this season, the Rockets and Wall reached a "no-play agreement", and in 80 games this season, the Rockets did not let Wall play even for a second, and it can be seen that the Rockets basically have no hope for Wall. At present, the Rockets No. 1 position has famous players such as Porter Jr. and Schroeder Jr., as well as 20-year-old newcomers such as Daisyn Knicks, so Wall is not needed at all.
The Rockets have also tried to trade Wall this season, but no team is willing to take over, which is why Wall waited for a season with the Rockets. So where does Wall go this offseason? He was going to go or stay, and now there seems to be a saying.
On April 7, Beijing time, according to michael Scott, the Rockets' Wall will implement his player options for the final year of next season, that is, Wall will not give up his annual salary of up to $47.36 million next season, even if he can no longer play for the Rockets, but such a large contract, Wall will certainly not let go easily - this is also common sense, understandable.
Further information pointed out that the Rockets side had anticipated Wall's choice, so the Rockets' operation in the offseason was that the team continued not to want Wall to return to the game next season to play for the Rockets, they would find opportunities to trade Wall, and in this summer's offseason, it was the time window for the Rockets to send Wall away. But whether there will be a team that will take over Wall's big contract of more than 47 million in the last year is unclear.
In addition, it is said that if Wall cannot be traded, then the Rockets and Wall will discuss a buyout! After all, there is still a final year left in the contract, and if Walsong mouths, the Rockets will not have a problem buying him out. If he becomes a free agent, Wall will have the right to choose his new owner. But then again, if Wall doesn't want to be bought out, the 32-year-old former All-Star point guard is likely to stay with the Rockets for another year of "doing nothing" until his contract expires next summer before becoming a free agent.
