The Los Angeles Clippers are far from where their expectations are this season. With constant injuries keeping their star players out of rotation, the Clippers haven’t been able to string together a long series of winning games. The team has a 23-24 record so far and is in 8th place on the Western Conference table. Which may be leading some of its players to reconsider their time and role with the team.?
John Wall is in his first year with the Clippers. He was brought over from the Houston Rockets where Wall arguably never clicked with the franchise.?

I’m a little surprised there aren’t a lot of bites on Wall. His per 36 minutes stats are nearly identical to “6MOTY candidate” Westbrook’s per 36 minute stats. Except, wall is $40 million dollars cheaper

Nobody getting traded this year unfortunately. Everyone wants the Gobert package for their mid players.
