Former point guard John Wall has become a "burden" that the Rockets can't shake off. Wall actually did well last season, when he had just recovered from a 2-year injury and was transferred to the Rockets without much preparation, and played a season with the Rockets. The Rockets had a poor record last season, but it had little to do with Wall, after all, the decision to rebuild the Rockets, which began to rot, Wall could not change the situation of the Rockets at that time.
Unfortunately, this season, Wall no longer plays for the Rockets, although he has always insisted on training, and often appears on the training ground with the Rockets teammates and fights, but it has to be said that Wall, who is almost 32 years old, is no longer young. In particular, Wall does not play official NBA games for a season, and if the body management is not good, it can be immediately seen in his body shape.
In the rockets' last game against the Eagles not long ago, Wall was on the home of the Houston Rockets again, when he was very fat. Now the Rockets' bench forward Kenjan Martin Jr. also posted a photo with Wall and Walter on his social media, and the two Rockets' rookies and veterans are in the same frame. But from the comparison of the size of the two, we can clearly see that martin, who is only 21 years old, is strong and strong, and although he looks a little thin, he is very strong.
Look at Wall again, Wall, who is slightly shorter than Martin Jr., but "completely beats" Martin Jr. in terms of body shape, at first glance, Wall's body size is one size larger than Little Martin! Wall looks the same as he was when he appeared at home for the Rockets not long ago, still in a bad fortune, looking a little fatter than Martin Jr. There are 3 people in this photo posted by Martin Jr., martin jr. is centered, and on the left appears to be Martin Jr. and Wall's friends, while Wall is on the far right of the photo.
Martin Jr. wore a simple white T-shirt and black trousers, while Wall wore a light-colored suit, but it didn't hide his out-of-shape figure in the slightest. From the strong, fast star defender last season to the bloated middle-aged uncle a year later, Wall has no games to play, and it is estimated that he is not disciplined enough and lacks training to become like this.
We know wall will execute the final year of his contract with the Rockets, and according to sources, Wall has decided to execute the player option for the last year of his contract. With an annual salary of $47 million next season, the Rockets will have to give Wall every point — whether he can play or not.
All along, the Rockets wanted to try to trade Wall or buy him out. Now it seems that the out-of-shaped Wall is more difficult to trade, and some teams that were interested in him earlier are unlikely to accept a former star who has become fat and slow.
For the Houston Rockets, the best thing to do is to wait another year, wait for Wall's contract to expire, let him become a free agent and leave the team directly, is the best policy.
