John Wall the person and teammate is worth every penny that he has coming to him.
John Wall the player is worth less than half he has coming to him, at best.
He makes no sense for Dallas unless he is bought out and decides to come here for little. Yes, he can get you 20/8 but the man was "healthy" last season and played 40 games. In his last 4 seasons, he's played less than 1.5 of the games he should have. Do we need to invest assets of any sort for that right now? Now on the wrong side of 30, with a game predicated on elite athleticism & a medical jacket that includes major knee surgeries and an torn Achilles? His game isn't going to age wel, when he's available. The inefficiency and lack of shooting from beyond 18 feet are difficult to overcome, if you're speaking about an acquisition that comes at the cost of real players, picks and cap dollars.
Had we signed Kyle Lowry, this is a move that smacks of Miami. Unless HOU finds a way to talk both OKC & Wall into a temporary marriage, unlikely given the similar profiles of the two franchises, he isn't going anywhere this season unless it's via buy out.
