John Wall "liked" proposed article trade recently

No way we give a 1st round pick for this trade. We would still have 3 more years of Morris/Kennard with his trade which is about $32M/year. Certainly the contracts may be easier to get rid off, so not a terrible option.

 

The only way he'll ever be in a Clippers uniform and team up with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard is to accept a buyout at a grossly reduced amount.

 

I could see them adding a first because the need to get off Wall could also include just not having him around.

I mean... he "CAN" be a solid veteran teacher and leader, but i don't think that's what he wants to be on a crap team at this point in his career and i don't blame him really. And even if he has his good guy persona on all year, he still doesn't seem to mesh well on the court with guys like KPJ... Cade or Green would need usage, etc.

Whereas the other guys being received are more role player types that would more likely benefit the youngins.

Make it something like the worst pick the Rockets have in year x

 

Morris doesn't seem like the kind of teammate I want young players around.

 

How about....

Wall and the #24 pick for Rondo, Beverly, Kennard and Ibaka?

I don’t want any part of that Morris contract.

Rockets can buyout 3 out of the 4 players as soon as they land in Houston if they chose to do so. Or, they can try to re-route them to a playoff team and keep their #24 pick. Maybe NOP would like Rondo, Beverly, Ibaka and House for the #10 pick. Or, the Knicks could be willing to give up #19 or #21 for some of those players.

 

i liked it as well.

thank you tank commander for your loyal service. it'll be so weird seeing wall in another team's uniform after going thru so much together.

 

The only thing I ask myself, how desperate will the Clippers be. You know Kawhi's tendencies of missing a lot more time then typically needed to rehab an injury. He's for the very least going to be out through December, possibly longer. Is it really worth it to bring John Wall in next season if they aren't really looking at contending. Losing Kennard/Morris/Beverley is a lot of production for the regular season out the window to only be replaced by Wall and whatever tax MLE option player may be available.

 

John Wall still believes "I am a Franchise Player". Thinks Terminating his Player Option isn't a Option.

 

Given that the YMCA has posted WANTED posters of him at every location and banned him for life, yeah.

And guys......."The Spun"? Makes Bleacher Report sound like 60 Minutes.

 

I would do it. A late first is worth not having him around, especially in a rebuilding phase. His attitude seems toxic, we have a lot of young guys.

Can let those guys expire and wait for contenders to make offers for them. We'll get a late pick or two back, I'm sure.

 

Worst trade proposal ever.

 

I'd do it IF you replace with Bucks future pick with this year's 23 or 24. Some decent, usable assets in that trade. Let's say we go with Green in the draft...

KPJ / Beverly
Green / Kennard
Tate / House
Morris / KMJ
Wood

 

How a about wall and for their pick this year and their 2nd the following year and they keep those players don't want any of them at this point in there careers.

 

You have to include them to match salaries.

 

kawhi's out for the year. will be interesting to see what the clippers do.

 

So minus the two untouchables (Kawhi/PG) someone took the only 6 or 7 currently eligible trade pieces LA has and came up with this deal. Got it.

While I hate Walls contract do I really want Morris at 4 years 15mil per? And as @JD88 pointed out, not sure I want Morris around the young guys either.

Need a third team to take one of the PGs (Bev/Rondo) and someone else can take Morris. Maybe we package Ego into the deal somewhere too.

Someone with time can figure out who the third team is and what we get back.

 

He needs to see how many of us liked that.

 

I would take Beverly and Ibaka for Wall.

 

Wouldn't be easier just to pick up a year of wall's salary to offset the difference.
