John Wall

John Wall is planning to sign with the Clippers, sources told ESPN, after the veteran point guard reached a buyout with the Rockets.

Reggie Jackson averaged 16.8 points and 4.8 assists as LA's starting point guard last season, when the Clippers went 42-40 and were eliminated in a play-in game. Wall averaged 20.6 points and 6.9 assists in 40 games for the Rockets in 2020-21, proving he still could perform at a high level after missing the previous season and a half because of heel surgery and a torn Achilles tendon. The Rockets instead prioritized the development of young guards Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green, so Wall did not fit in the franchise's plans despite his $44.3 million salary.

Per terms of the buyout agreement, the Rockets will pay Wall all but approximately $6.5 million of his $47.4 million salary for the 2022-23 season. Wall then ...

But the Clippers can use another capable ballhandler in addition to Jackson, and Wall could help lighten the loads on Leonard and George. With a long history of injury issues and multiple years left on a four-year, $170 million extension that started in 2019, Wall didn’t garner much trade interest last year. Yahoo Sports first reported Wall’s buyout agreement, and ESPN first linked him to the Clippers.

Now, Wall will have the chance to prove it on the Clippers. Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. already received the lion's share of available playing time in the backcourt last season, and the Rockets added Kentucky point guard TyTy Washington in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft as well making Wall even less important to their future.

The Lakers do have a route to acquiring Wall as a free agent this summer. The Clippers will now get a player in Wall who has been plagued by injuries the past four seasons. Despite news of Wall's intentions to sign with the Clippers, NBA free agency hasn't begun. LeBron James' agents were reportedly unhappy Lakers GM Rob Pelinka didn't complete a deadline deal that would have sent Russell Westbrook to Houston for Wall. Wall's buyout also comes on the heels of Kyrie Irving announcing his intention to opt in on his player option with the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers were rumored to be attempting a sign-and-trade. That means Wall is not a member of the Clippers. And the Los Angeles Lakers will put a full court press to change Wall's mind. There apparently will be no courtship of Wall's services, if Wojnarowski's report is accurate.

However, their issues since putting this team with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George has been the lack of a true point guard facilitating for them, something that is now possible with the Wall signing. Wall may have played just 40 games of basketball since he signed his massive contract, but his price-to-performance improves if Wall is on a mid-level exception or veteran minimum. Wall has been looking to be bought out of his massive $171 million contract that he signed in 2017-18 last season, but the Rockets didn't want to budge and would rather have traded him.
