Teams interested in John Wall trade only if he declines player option
But why would Wall want this? He has to know: A trade isn’t coming. Teams are interested in Wall but only if he declines his $47 million player option for next season (he won’t) or wriggles free via buyout in this one (he isn’t). Wall looked remarkably good in returning from a two-year layoff last season. His All-Star days are over, but there’s no reason why Wall, at 31, can’t regain a place among the upper half of NBA playmakers.

Column: Free John Wall. Or play John Wall. Either way this standoff between Wall and the Rockets, no matter how civil, needs to end buff.ly/30Ua6Ma – 12:18 PM

John Wall and Eric Gordon are shooting on one end, Armoni Brooks and Garrison Mathews on the other. Weird to see so many shots going in. – 4:06 PM

John Wall joined Rockets workouts today, as he had on occasion. Ryan Anderson also back at Rockets practice. (Neither will be playing.) – 4:04 PM

We’re almost a quarter of the way into the regular season. The only team with a worse record than the Pelicans is paying John Wall $44 million to sit on the bench. – 9:17 AM

LET’S GET HOT
Ben Simmons, John Wall, or Russell Westbrook? After Pelicans loss to the TWolves is it time?

The John Wall situation is pretty wild. He’s traveling with the Rockets, sitting on the bench in uniform but isn’t playing. I don’t know how that benefits the Rockets or Wall. – 8:39 PM

Very important pregame update:
John Wall just stopped his on-court workout to say hello to Deuce, who was heading to his seats. – 7:10 PM
