With a five-game winning streak, the Houston Rockets are gaining momentum for the 2021-2022 season. The key issue with the franchise is finding out what to do with John Wall, who has remained inactive for over 20 games.
Recently, Wall met with general manager Rafael Stone and coach Stephen Silas to discuss his return to Houston’s starting lineup. Wall’s request to step back onto the court for the Rockets was denied, and there is still no clear solution for both parties.
The obvious answer would be for Rockets management to trade the five-time NBA All-Star. The issue is finding a trading partner willing to pay out Wall’s lucrative contract, as he’s owed $44 million this season and $47 million the following season.
