I don’t know whether it’s the coaching, the Zards front office, his teammates, migraine headaches, the negative media coverage, his inconsistent play, the team’s struggles, his love life or something else, but Wall’s facial expressions and body language have displayed a real joylessness recently. And it’s impacting his oncourt performance.
I usually hate to see Wall smiling, talking and generally mucking it up with opponents during games, but lately you don’t even see him doing much of that.
Despite his bravado on and off the court, I sense that JWall is a very insecure person. What he might need more than anything else right now is a psychiatrist or someone he trusts to talk to so he can vent and get out whatever is leading to the mental funk he seems to be in.
I'm reluctant to play amateur shrink but I needed to put this out there for my own sanity.
Go Zards!
It was pretty striking seeing his body language vs. Westbrook's who was engaged and talking with every teammate... being the leader
It's simple. This franchise saps the soul out of players. Every franchise player the Wizards have built around ends up leaving/being traded away with delight. There's no joy knowing that you're involved with losers. The Wizards are losers.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a trade demand this summer when he's eligible.
15% trade kicker, with his extension then gives him 50mil in his player option for 2022-2023 and also guarantied in 2021-2022...
If he wanted a trade he would have to agree to renegotiate.
So luckily or unluckily for us fans, the wiz wont be able to trade him easily unless he really wants out...
