Sources said Wall, who was due $47.4 million from the Rockets after exercising the player option last week for the final year of his contract, agreed to take $6.5 million less to become a free agent. That is roughly the amount of the taxpayer midlevel exception, which he is likely to sign for in free agency.
Wall, who has career averages of 19.1 points and 9.1 assists per game, would fill the Clippers' need for a playmaker on a team that has championship aspirations with Kawhi Leonard returning after missing the 2021-22 season while recovering from a partially torn ACL in his right knee. Reggie Jackson averaged 16.8 points and 4.8 assists as LA's starting point guard last season, when the Clippers went 42-40 and were eliminated in a play-in game.
Wall spent the better part of last season in Miami and is known to live there at least part of the year. The former Kentucky standout considered signing with the Miami HEAT before agreeing to terms with the Clippers. An ardent supporter of the body positivity movement, Wall is said to have been greatly discouraged by the public criticism HEAT President Pat Riley, a fellow Wildcat, lodged at Kyle Lowry earlier this offseason regarding the veteran point guard’s recurring struggles with his weight and diet.
What?! We lost Wall because Riley fat-shamed Lowry?!
If this is true Wall is a dumb ass mother f*cker who has prob put on weight he cares to not work to shed as a prerequisite to put on a Heat jerz
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade
