The Houston Rockets are a young team still trying to figure out their place in the NBA. While they have a poor record, they certainly don’t have a lack of great players. Notably, they have John Wall at their service ready to go. However, with the way things are, the Rockets are not willing to have him in their plans. Hence, a buyout could be on the table. But Wall seems to not like that idea.

Recent reports suggest that John Wall is not interested in pursuing a buyout with the concerns of losing money.

Wall moved to the Rockets when Russell Westbrook was traded to the Washington Wizards two seasons ago. Since coming in, he hasn’t played much for the organization as he was dealing with injuries. The 31-year-old and the Rockets came to a mutual agreement for him not to play and ever since then, the NBA world wants to see him get free.

John Wall refuses to get a buyout

In September, the Rockets made it clear that they don’t have plans to play Wall as they are in a rebuilding phase. Hence, while he continues to work as a mentor, he practices away from the team and works on his own game. With fans demanding a way he could get free, an opportunity same in. However, Wall seems to not like the idea.

A contract buyout would solve many things for both the player and the Houston Rockets franchise respectfully. Hence, with the situation between the Rockets and Wall, it seems to be a legitimate option. It would allow Wall to become an unrestricted free agent and join any team he wants. On the other hand, the Rockets would get a spot open on the roster and also save money.
