The more things change, the more they stay the same.
According to a new report from veteran NBA scribe Marc Stein, it’s still the status quo when it comes to the situation involving John Wall and a potential trade to the Los Angeles Lakers for Russell Westbrook.
With Wall still under contract with the Rockets but no longer playing due to Houston’s emphasis on the development of younger players, hypotheticals have swirled for months regarding a Wall-Westbrook swap. With Westbrook clearly struggling to fit in with the Lakers, many around the league have speculated that Wall might be a better on-court fit.
