Here’s Why The Wizards Traded John Wall For Russell Westbrook

The Rockets and Wizards finally completed the much rumored John Wall-Russell Westbrook trade. It is a lateral move for both teams but it gives the guys a fresh look.

Wall gets to play with his best friend BOOGIE (Demarcus) Cousins and Westbrook gets to go back to old Westbrook and control an offense. Bradley Beal gets to play off the ball and catch-and-shoot which he is going to be great doing.

Looks like this may be the rare win/win NBA trade.

Here’s the details on the trade:

Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall and a first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Rockets source: Stance on James Harden has not changed. Houston hopes to be competitive with him this season and does not envision a scenario where Harden would be traded before the opener.
