Veteran guards Reggie Jackson and John Wall were among several players who were officially waived on Sunday, according to press releases from their respective teams. The Hornets cut Jackson, while the Rockets let go of Wall.
Both players had spent most of the season with the Clippers, who completed a series of deadline deals on Thursday. Jackson was sent from Los Angeles to Charlotte in trade for Mason Plumlee, while Wall was moved to Houston in a deal for Eric Gordon.
Since they were both essentially just salary-matching pieces in those trades, Jackson and Wall were widely expected to be waived. Jackson was said to be negotiating a buyout with the Hornets, while Rockets general manager Rafael Stone confirmed in his post-deadline presser than Houston would simply release Wall, whose last stint with the team didn’t end well.
Jackson is reportedly on track to sign with the Nuggets once he clears waivers; Wall doesn’t yet have his next NBA home lined up, as far as we know.
Jackson and Wall were among several veterans who were officially cut on Sunday. The Rockets also waived Danny Green, while the Magic parted ways with Patrick Beverley and Terrence Ross and San Antonio released Stanley Johnson.
The John Wall contract saga has to be one of the worst in NBA history, but kudos to him for getting his.
suns could prob use some insurance for CP3
Payne hurt at current too.
ya agreed. Wall is weird. actually pretty good when he plays but randomly always has minutes limit and DNP
Rockets GM probably didn’t even talk to Wall this time lol.
I wouldnt have just waived him.
After his last passage at Houston, give him an ultimatum: renounce all your remaining salary or stay with us while at home and potentially end your career.
And maybe waive him if you need a roster spot, but that’s not the case yet…
Wall2DC is a good move
John Wall back to DC
He’s better than Monte and Delon, and Monte suits that second unit role much better.
