John Wall is now finally teamed up with Paul George as he is set to join the Los Angeles Clippers, following a buyout from the Rockets.
John Wall was ultimately released from his contract with the Houston Rockets, which means he is now free to play for another team. For the past two seasons, John Wall has been a member of the Houston Rockets, but he hasn’t played in a game for them in over a year.
When he played for the Washington Wizards, John Wall was one of the league’s top point guards, but injuries have hampered his professional development. During his days with the Wizards, Wall tried recruiting Paul George to join him in Washington.
Talking about recruiting PG, Wall said, “Paul George is a guy that can guard LeBron and go back at LeBron. It’s a piece that you’re going to need to win. If you don’t have a guy who can do that, you don’t have a chance… We’ve been friends.”
Finally, they have got the chance to play together, and it will be a very special moment for John Wall, who’ll finally get to play some basketball after a long break.
The Los Angeles Clippers were already quite good, and now they have got way lot better after the inclusion of John Wall. He’ll be their point guard, and it will help other players also.
The Los Angeles Clippers are incredibly well-equipped for the upcoming campaign. John Wall’s participation has strengthened them even further.
Both Kawhi and Wall have excelled in this league, and when they get the chance to play, they’ll be fired up. Paul George should not be overlooked, after a season marred by injuries, he will be completely healthy and hungry for success. The Clippers have a legitimate chance of winning it all next season.
