According to Hoops Hype, Houston Rockets point guard John Wall, who agreed to sit out the entire past season, will exercise his $47 million player option for the upcoming 2022-2023 season, which is not unexpected. After all, would you give up that kind of bread for doing nothing?
The Rockets will then reportedly pursue a trade option for Wall, and one of the options reportedly on the table is revisiting Wall to the Los Angeles Lakers for Russell Westbrook and a first-round pick. Westbrook would then be bought out and the Rockets would get the pick for their troubles.
