<p>For years, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/warriors-news-draymond-green-rips-the-media-over-fake-story-20220316-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA media</strong></a> has tried to push narratives about how two stars can’t coexist or don’t like each other. That happened with <strong>Bradley Beal and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/john-wall-has-made-nearly-2-million-per-game-played-since-2019-20210915-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Wall</a> </strong>during their days together with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-wizards-star-bradley-beal-drops-hint-about-his-future-20220304-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Washington Wizards.</strong></a></p>
<p>While one of the <strong>top-tier backcourts in the Eastern Conference, </strong>Beal and Wall fake to lead the Wizards to a deep playoff run. Eventually, Wall’s injuries made the team move on from him and let Beal as their franchise player.</p>
<p>That trade only cemented the narrative of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-the-massive-trade-that-nearly-sent-bradley-beal-to-philadelphia-20220322-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beal</a> and Wall never getting along in the first place.</strong> That’s why the Wizards’ star finally took some time to shut down those rumors and <strong>clear the air about their relationship.</strong></p>
<h2>NBA News: Bradley Beal Wanted To Run It Back With John Wall</h2>
<p><em>“I’m way better [now] than what I was when we were younger, playing Boston in [2016-17] and lost in the second round, way better player than that,” </em>Beal said on the Draymond Green Show. <strong><em>“I knew John was pretty much climbing into his prime right around this time. I’m like, ‘well I’m a new newly tuned-up player waiting on this athletic freak of nature to come back, like, let’s give it one more shot. Let’s give it one more shot.’”</em></strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“We both hated that there was a picture painted that we didn’t like each other, that we didn’t like playing with each other,”</strong></em> Beal said.<strong> </strong><em><strong>“Us being young guys at the time…we weren’t mature enough to just have a conversation. We would kind of read into it. </strong>So it’s just kind of a silent, ‘Dang you feel like that? Nah, he can’t feel like that,’ until eventually, it’s like, ‘alright now, boom, yo bro how you feeling?’ So once we had that conversation it was just, okay that’s dead. It’s just noise to kind of get us rattled or get us off our track.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“I loved playing with John. John, I say to this day, is the best passer I’ve played with. He’s probably the fastest guy I’ve played with, with the ball,”</strong></em> Beal said.<em> “The toughest part when we moved on from him was, he was injured. The toughest part was there was some stuff that went on in the summer that the front office didn’t necessarily abide by… they were like, ‘Okay, we got it. We’re done.’ It was out of my hands because I was coming to camp thinking John’s ready to go. Boom, next day he’s gone.<strong> So that was very tough and emotional because he never came back from the injury and we never got a chance for us to play.”</strong></em></p>

<p></p>
<p>If it wasn’t for Wall’s injuries and the team’s failure to surround them with more talent, he and Beal could’ve done something special on the nation’s capital. Now, it’ll only be <strong>yet another big ‘What If’.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> are obliged to compete</strong> at the highest level year in and year out. It’s been like that in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> for decades, and having<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> </strong>on your team only puts more pressure on the organization.</p>
<p>That’s why there have been so many doubts regarding<strong> Russell Westbrook’s</strong> long-term fit with the team. He’s not a shooter and is a ball-dominant player, <strong>so having him next to James and Anthony Davis could be a bit of a headache.</strong></p>
<p>But, according to former <strong>Mavericks</strong> executive Haralabos Voulgaris, that may no longer be a problem for the Lakers. Apparently, they could be interested in<strong> sending him back to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-rockets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rockets</a> in a trade for John Wall.</strong></p>

<h2>NBA Trade Rumors: Lakers Could Swap John Wall For Russell Westbrook</h2>
<p><strong>(Transcript via Heavy)</strong></p>
<p><em>“The Los Angeles Lakers have limited options<strong> if they opt to move on from Russell Westbrook.</strong> During an interview on The Bill Simmons Podcast, former Mavericks executive Haralabos Voulgaris noted that the Lakers should not be ruled out as a potential landing spot for Rockets guard John Wall.</em></p>
<p><em>Simmons explained that the Timberwolves are one of the few teams that could make a move for Wall but added that the <strong>Rockets could swap Wall for Westbrook again</strong> in an unlikely trade scenario.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>‘I’m giving you the only team [Timberwolves], this is it we have no other teams unless it’s Lakers’ Westbrook for Wall yet again,’</strong> Simmons said during the November 24 episode.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>‘I mean, never underestimate the Lakers’ ability to make a trade that people think no one else would make,’ V</strong>oulgaris responded. <strong>‘They’re definitely the team that does that. They make it happen.’”</strong></em></p>
<p>Even so<strong>, it’s not like Wall will be a big upgrade over Westbrook</strong>. He has barely played over the past three years and isn’t much of a shooter also. He’s a pass-first guard and a better playmaker but he hasn’t even been able to stay on the court.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<p>Westbrook has turned the corner and is shooting the ball efficiently as of late. He may never be a good fit next to the Lakers superstars, <strong>but Wall won’t do the trick either.</strong></p>

<p>Not so long ago, <strong>John Wall </strong>was considered one of the<strong> most impactful <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-best-point-guards-of-all-time-20201227-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">point guards</a> in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>.</strong> He was fast, strong, athletic, and perhaps the best playmaker in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/washington-wizards-t94888" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Washington Wizards</strong></a> history. But those days seem far behind him.</p>
<p>Wall suffered back-to-back big injuries and wasn’t even able to play <strong>for two full years.</strong> That would take a toll on any player, especially in those who rely on their explosiveness and athleticism.</p>
<p>Now, unsurprisingly, he’s not a part of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-rockets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Rockets’</a> </strong>plans going forward, and he has no interest whatsoever in playing for a rebuilding team either. That’s why <strong>he’s likely to be moved rather sooner than later.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>John Wall, Rockets Agree To Part Ways</h2>
<p><em><strong>“With John Wall and the Houston Rockets looking to part ways in the near future, the franchise’s rebuild just added another intriguing layer ahead of the 2021-22 season,”</strong></em> reported Kelly Iko of The Athletic.</p>
<p><em>“On draft night, when the organization selected an unprecedented four rookies — headlined by No. 2 overall pick Jalen Green — the team’s direction was clear, if it wasn’t clear enough already. Houston was going younger. <strong>The presence of Wall, his age/timeline and his enormous contract — $91.7 million remaining over two years — became the elephant in the room</strong>,” </em>the report added.</p>
<h2>John Wall Has Made Nearly $2 Million Per Game Played Since 2019</h2>
<p>Moving Wall’s deal will be very tough for the Rockets. His durability is a huge question mark, as he’s earned nearly<strong> $2 million </strong>per game played since signing his massive contract extension, making<strong> just 40 out of 142 possible appearances:</strong></p>
<p><em>“John Wall’s 4-year, $171M max extension started with the 2019-20 season. His games played: </em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>19-20 – 0 of 72</em></li>
<li><em>20-21 – 40 of 72</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em>He’s unlikely to play the 21-22 season without a trade. That would mean he’ll have played in 40 games out of 226. <strong>That’s 17.7% of possible games played,”</strong></em> reported Keith Smith.</p>
<p>In reality, most people don’t think that Wall will ever go back to his former self, and no one wants to pay<strong> 90+ million</strong> for a player that’s often hurt and past his prime. The Rockets will have to find the way to sweeten this deal, but trading away first-round picks when you’re rebuilding doesn’t sound like a good plan either.</p>

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Miami Heat</strong></a> had a fantastic run at the last <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> season, becoming <strong>Eastern Conference </strong>champions and getting into the finals. Thatcampaign was a big surprise for many people. This season, however, didn’t start in the same way for the Heat, althoughtheyprogressed recently andeven managed tosix straight wins to improve their record.</p>
<p>Still, <strong>Miami would be considering makingmovements before the trade deadline on March 25</strong> to strengthen their roster. Last year, they did the same by bringing in <strong>Andre Iguodala </strong>and<strong> Jay Crowder</strong>, who then were importantfor the impressive playoff run which ended in the finals against <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a>.</p>
<p>They had to dealwith several injuries from different players so far, andthe 18-18 record doesn’t seem too satisfying. That’s why<strong>the Heat would be interested in signing a big nameto gofor agreat campaign once again</strong>. The arrival of any of the two potential candidateswould bring experience and more quality to South Florida.</p>

<h2>Kyle Lowry and John Wall,considered byMiami Heat</h2>
<p>According to Tom Haberstroh from TrueHoop, the three-time NBA champions may go after <strong>Kyle Lowry</strong> or <strong>John Wall</strong> to give a boost to the current roster. This would be considered more carefully throughout the eight games the Heat will face after the All-Star break and before the trade deadline.</p>
<p>To go ahead with such an operation, Haberstroh also added that <strong>Miami would be offering players of the likes of <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/offside/who-is-katya-elise-henry-tyler-herro-s-girlfriend-20210304-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyler Herro</a>, Duncan Robinson or Precious Achiuwa</strong>, as well big contracts like <strong>Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard</strong> to open up space for a high-paid star like Lowry or Wall.<span></span></p>

Miami Heat target Kyle Lowry, John Wall to boost their roster

Miami Heat target Kyle Lowry, John Wall to boost their roster - Bolavip US

<p>Due to the salary cap and the way the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a></strong>is structured, there’s a huge tendency to overpay players when they sign the secondbig contract of their career. Then, a couple of years later, franchises are <strong>trying to get rid of them</strong> as they can’t seem to live up to their contracts.</p>
<p>Teams overpay players with some upside to prevent them from leaving. Sometimes, they match offer sheets for restricted free agents and end up regretting that, and other times, superstars get hurt and decline but are still <strong>on massive deals.</strong></p>
<p>Their mammoth contracts make it quite tough for NBA teams <strong>to trade or cut them </strong>and, more often than not, they either end up agreeing to a buyout or playing through their contract with subpar averages.</p>

<p>This season isn’t the exception to that rule, as we’ve seen a lot of guys getting paid as superstars despite not being worthy of that much money and today, we’ll let you know about <strong>the top 5 most overpaid players in the NBA.</strong></p>

<h2>5. Otto Porter Jr – $28,489,239</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Washington Wizards signed former lottery pick <strong>Otto Porter Jr</strong> to a massive contract extension just to trade him away to the Chicago Bulls a couple of years later. When healthy, Porter Jr has been pretty solid as a 3-and-D presence for them, but that hasn’t happened very often.</p>
<p>Porter Jr has dealt with multiple injuries over the past couple of seasons and is averaging roughly<strong> 11.6 points and 6.3 rebounds</strong> per game for the Bulls this year. He’s set to become a free agent at the end of the year and hopefully, he’ll make something more fitting to his contributions.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, I love <strong>Steven Adams</strong>’ game, but he shouldn’t be making that much dough. He’s a solid defender who sets nice picks, put his body on the line, and is a team-first kind of guy, but he’s not worthy nearly $30,000,00.</p>
<p>Adams is averaging 8.2 points and 9.2 rebounds per game and has never been much of an offensive factor. He’s not even the third-best player on the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-orleans-pelicans-t100705" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Pelicans</a>, yet he’s getting more money than <strong>Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Kristaps Porzingis.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Mike Conley </strong>claims he deserved to be an All-Star this season because of how well the Utah Jazz is playing. And, even though the Jazz are great this season and he’s been solid, you can’t complain about being snubbed from the All-Star Game if you’re averaging 16.3 points per game.</p>
<p>Conley has always been a solid defender and above-average playmaker but not much more than that. He’s never been an All-Star or the best player on his team, yet he’s making $34 million this season. He’s the<strong> 11th highest-earner </strong>in the league right now.</p>

<p>I honestly feel bad for <strong>Blake Griffin</strong>. He was supposed to be the face of the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Clippers </a>and they traded him away after signing him to that huge deal. Now, he’s not even playing with the Detroit Pistons as they try to figure out his future with nearly 3 years left in his contract.</p>
<p>Multiple injuries and lack of motivation have made the former first-overall pick look quite washed this season, and there’s not a team that’s going to absorb such a big contract after watching him average 1<strong>2.3 points and 5.3 rebounds</strong> per game.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>It’s crazy to think that <strong>John Wall </strong>never played a single minute of his contract extension with the Washington Wizards. Everybody thought it was a mistake when they offered him that much money and time proved the doubters wrong, as he suffered two major injuries and missed a lot of time.</p>
<p>Wall is still a pretty solid player but it’s<strong> not All-Star material anymore</strong> and likely will never be again. He’s averaging 20.1 points and 6.1 assists per game but has missed plenty of games this season due to injury and the Houston Rockets aren’t even in the playoff picture.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> are a revamped team right now. They own the best defensive rating in the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>after trading <strong>James Harden</strong> away to the<strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Brooklyn Nets</a> </strong>and are riding a 4-game winning streak despite several injuries.</p>
<p><strong>Christian Wood </strong>had to miss some games, the same for<strong> John Wall, and Victor Oladipo. Danuel House,</strong> on the other hand, just was able to come back after spending some timeon the sidelines as well.</p>
<p>Even so, <strong>Stephen Silas’ </strong>team looks like a cohesive unit. They play winning basketball, put their bodies on the line, contest shots, and get the job done on both ends of the floor in ways most people didn’t think they would be able to early on.</p>

John Wall throws shade at James Harden after another Rockets win

John Wall throws shade at James Harden after another Rockets win - Bolavip US

<p><strong>James Harden </strong>shocked the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>NBA</strong></a> world by demanding a trade in the offseason, but the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets </strong></a>didn’t want to engage in any talks with other teams unless they were willing to pay a steep price for his services.</p>
<p>Harden replied by showing up overweight and late to training camp, and it seems like he’s just not motivated to be out there even though the front office surrounded him <strong>with great talent ahead</strong> of the season.</p>
<p>And now, to make things even worst, Harden publically called his teammates out after back-to-back losses to the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Los Angeles Lakers,</strong></a> and it’s clear that he just <strong>doesn’t want to be there </strong>anymore.</p>

<h2>Harden Is Going Through The Worst Stretch Of His Career</h2>

<p>According to <strong>StatMuse</strong>,Harden has scored 20+ points over the past four games, which is the longest stretch of his career dating back to 2012 when he was coming off the bench for the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder. </strong></p>
<p>Perhaps he should try to lead by example rather than blaming everybody else for the team’s struggles, especially considering the Rockets have given him all the weapons he’s needed to win a ring for the past 8 years <strong>and he’s failed to deliver.</strong></p>
