On July 21, 2017, the Washington Wizards signed their All-Star point guard John Wall to a ‘supermax’ extension worth $170 million. If you asked anybody, if you were offered $170 million, you would be hard pressed to find someone who would turn down that kind of money, so it was no surprise that Wall took the offer, but as Notorious B.I.G. taught us, “Mo’ money, Mo’ problems.”
Since signing that extension, it has been a tough go for Wall. He struggled with injuries throughout much of last season, leading him to shoot the lowest field goal percentage since his rookie year through the first half of the season.
