Warhead36 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The report is he injured it slipping and falling at home but I think the real truth is he hurt it after getting drunk partying. If I'm the team I take a ruthless approach to try to void the contract even though it probably won't work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Blessing in disguise...for both John and the team. Â Tank out, clean house and build a competitive organization with a healthy and highly motivated John Wall in 2021. Â Make me proud, Ted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry.Randolphe Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This team is cursed when it comes to handing out max contracts....jesus. He's not going to be the same player when he comes back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollars to Doughnuts says he'll have lost a ton of speed and that'll be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Maybe if he's not so reliant on blowing past people and jumping out of the gym, he might modify his game a little that will benefit everybody.   So $40-45m a year on a PG that relies on athleticism, but now has 1 good foot.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He can certainly return at 31 years old as a cerebral, tough, physical PG with superb passing skills and an improved, varied offensive game.

Clean up that cap and load up on draft picks. (dream sequence.... then fire Ernie so somebody better can do the draft) Hopefully this convinces Ted to sell the team to someone in Seattle and leave us alone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If it's any consolation, Boogie's performed better than I expected since coming back from his achilles. His per 36/per 100 are basically in line with his career numbers. Of course, he's on the Warriors , which surely helps. But my point is, he's not finished, which I was assuming he was. He should be a good resource and inspiration for John.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. Â This is my line of thinking as well. He's not automatically going to be able to shoot when he comes back. What else can he do besides pass the ball now? He's not a threat and he's not worth a max contract. I already know he's going to come back completely out of shape. This is a complete disaster situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 That sucks for Wall and you guys. Crazy, just like when D. Hall re-ruptured his in his kitchen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Wait a sec. Teams are inquiring about Otto Porter and the Wizards haven't pursued a trade?? One of the worst GMs in all of sports.  Devastating news about Wall and Porter.  2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Wow...just saw the news. Nothing else to say other than this team and city is cursed.  To state the obvious, that is a bunch of dead money. Basically two lost years. Wall will never be the same. Horrible contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
