Even though Russ's value is sh**t, we can still play him, that would be better than a player that is likely not being able to play anymore and 1 heavily protected FRP. Unless Russ refuses to play for the Rockets anymore, which would be very unprofessional for him, I can't think of a reason why the Rockets made this trade.
Wall has a few videos of pickup games this offseason...A few weeks ago he ran against Harden. Maybe it might just be Harden, but Wall blew right past him evenrytime they matched up...lol
I believe he is a better fit next to Harden. I think also other players will benefit with Wall having a lot more control in his offence compared to Westbrook. The question is Walls health, can he come back to even 90%of what he was? And can he play more than 75% if a season?
