What should Tommy Sheppard do with John Wall?

As reported by the Athletic John Wall wants out of D.C.

The real question is, where can he possibly go?

We’ll get to that, but let’s backtrack for a moment and understand what’s happening.

These are uncharted waters. We’ve all seen players demanding trades in the past, but I cannot remember a player with so little trade value making this kind of demand with so little leverage. But hey, Rich Paul’s clients do not always play by the usual rules.

This puts Tommy Sheppard on the spot. I think this is Sheppard’s first real test and he could come out of this strengthened if he shows resolve.
