LA Clippers Receive: G John Wall, 2023 First-Round Pick (via BKN)
Houston Rockets Receive: G Eric Bledsoe, C/F Serge Ibaka, F/G Luke Kennard
This hypothetical trade between the LA Clippers and Houston Rockets would get John Wall back to NBA action. They put together five trades they believed fans would love to see, and they would be right about this one.
John Wall was one of the most electric point guards in the NBA before he suffered injuries to his left heel, ruptured his Achilles and then suffered from an infection.
Wall returned last season to play in 40 games, averaging 20.6 points, 6.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.2 minutes per game.
Currently out of the rotation, as the Rockets aren’t going to play him, Wall would be afforded the chance to play with the Clippers. Matching his exorbitant contract is not easy, but the Clippers have some pieces if they so choose.
