While the Kyrie Irving news was smoldering this time last week, there was another point guard target that was more realistic for the LA Clippers: John Wall.

Analysis: John Wall is said to be intent on arriving to the Clippers, where he has a close friend waiting — “we just had a mutual respect and bond from the get-go” — and a coaching staff with a track record earning dividends from distressed assets.

The last time we saw John Wall in an NBA game was April 23, 2021, when he had 27 points, 13 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal in a loss to the Clippers.
During the 2020-21 season, Wall averaged 20.6 points, 6.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 threes, 1.1 steals and .8 blocks. pic.twitter.com/3GkmIA5Bn3 – 10:19 PM

John Wall will be good with the Clippers. He’ll get to the rim at will with all the shooting that will be around him. He remains an elite passer and he knows how to run an offense – 10:13 PM

Again, this is not the Heat losing out on John Wall, Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant. This is having been linked, speculated, and, then, ultimately, the reality that there is talk and sometimes that’s all it is. As you were, bloviators. – 10:12 PM

So within an evening, three potential Heat targets are off the board: Durant, Kyrie and John Wall. Maybe none of them were realistic to begin with, but now there’s clarity. – 10:10 PM

I’m optimistic John Wall has enough left in the tank to really help the Clippers.
Unlike a player who has been out with injuries, he was healthy enough to play the last 1.5 years. The Rockets were just going in a different direction.
He’ll be pretty good for LAC is my guess. – 10:07 PM

Tempted to do a write-up on John Wall, but other than the 40 games he played in 2020-21, Wall was never really a Houston Rocket in any meaningful way.
He kind of just loitered in the background and didn’t cause any problems. – 10:05 PM

If the Clippers give John Wall the Tax MLE, then LA won’t have it to give to Isaiah Hartenstein.
Hartenstein is pretty good and that could make him gettable for a lot of teams looking for a big. – 9:56 PM

Houston trims the roster down to 18 guaranteed contracts after the John Wall buyout.
$30M below the luxury tax and plenty of options either in the trade market or free agency this offseason.
Eric Gordon is the lone player earning $10M+ – 9:52 PM

Something to note with the John Wall buyout: When players are still making a huge sum like Wall, they’re often more open to taking a minimum deal while still getting paid by their former team. It may not take the MLE for a team to land Wall. It might, but not a lock by any means. – 9:35 PM

If the Rockets are gonna buy John Wall out can the Lakers at least throw them a second-round pick to make the Russ swap? Like come on, if they’re not willing to make an aggressive trade, can they at least get the probably washed point guard instead of the definitely washed one? – 7:18 PM
