Charles Barkley, a well-known player and current NBA analyst, criticized Rockets guard John Wall on a show because the latter did not play any games for the Rockets while earning a whopping $47 million a year.
The Rockets' record in a few games at the beginning of the season was not ideal (1 win, 3 losses), of course, considering that the Rockets are already in the rebuilding stage after the promotion of the trade involving James Harden, they will even be the bottom team in the league for the next few years, so it is not surprising that the Rockets can only have such a record performance at the beginning of the season.
What's more, the Rockets already have young players such as Jaylen Green, Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr., and John Wall is indeed not a player for the future of the Rockets, and his presence will affect the growth of young Rockets players, which is why the Rockets have to reach an agreement with Wall to try to promote the deal and do not have to play.
Still, Rocket star Charles Barkley has something to say:
"This guy can get $100 million sitting at home, and I'm working like a dog here."
While Charles Barkley is indeed the one with a good reputation among NBA analysts, Barkley's annual salary as an Insidethe NBA analyst is reportedly $1.5 million. You know, Barkley's "job" is largely to watch the ball game, analyze the game with his own experience, and talk about some controversial topics as a celebrity, in the process Barkley can earn millions of dollars, to be honest, this is definitely a very good job.
So what kind of future will Wall have on this Rocket? To be sure, the Rockets will do their best to promote the deal involving Wall, but Wall is no longer the team with the top salary, so it will be difficult for the Rockets to promote Wall's trade.
