It’s easier to parlay Wall and a 1st into a guy like Harden IMO in the summer. Wall will be a huge expiring, a 1st is a 1st.
Also Wall helps now, last year he was shooting it at a decent clip. He certainly won’t be shooting any worse than Fox does. I can also see Wall and Maxey managing to co-exist decently, Fox no way. Bagley is not even a rotation player, he doesn’t even figure into the math.
But why would the Nets care about getting a large expiring and a first over guys that can actually help them win now? Just in a pure value sense, I'd have letting Harden walk as a more desirable outcome for them than paying Wall a ridiculous sum of money for a year and a 1st way down the road.
Honestly, if we're banking on a Harden S&T, keeping Simmons is probably our best bet.
Who says BKN has to take Wall? He’ll be expiring, add the 1st to him and move him elsewhere. OKC or SAS should be willing to get paid to take Wall for a year. Then just sign Harden outright.
Also based on what we saw last year, Wall can still play as well. So it might be just as easy (or easier?) to sell BKN on taking Wall in a S&T for a year as opposed to Simmons for 3.
Either scenario works.
This is just crazy talk. Wall is cooked and the Rockets can't give him away right now. Yet you would rather have him over Fox who say what you want about his fit clearly is still a ++ asset.
The other reality is if the Rockets could they would buy out Wall and essentially release him back into the NBA for free. The only reason why that hasn't happened is Wall doesn't want to give up too much of his current deal
