Will the Clippers or the Sixers get a boost in the coming weeks? In any case, this is what Kendrick Perkins wants to see, who has given an informed opinion on the thorny situation of a multiple All-Star.
The season resumes in a month, and many teams could still make changes to their roster. Among those concerned, we think in particular of the Rockets who must manage the John Wall file. Holder of a huge contract and not falling within the plans of the Texas franchise which relies on the duo Kevin Porter Jr – Jalen Green, the former Wizard will be shelved and no longer play while waiting for a way out.
Where ? This is the question that hurts, as the enormous salary of J-Wall poses a brake to all inclinations of trade or almost. Whether it is a transfer or a buy-out, in any case, Kendrick Perkins already sees the two destinations that make sense for the number 1 of the Draft 2010. This is what he confided during its passage on Sirius XM :
Could John Wall be a good fit in Philadelphia?

I’d see John Wall go to the Clippers, or even Philadelphia. I don’t know where we are with the Ben Simmons situation, but I think Wall with Joel Embiid is better than Simmons with Joel Embiid. Why ? Because Wall will take the shots without fear, will be aggressive, and won’t be afraid to go to the throwing line. I know he has a huge contract, almost 100 million over 2 years, but I think he can bring something to a team that is aiming for the title.
Wall, certainly more as explosive than in the past, comes out of a season with 20 points and 7 assists on average, and we can easily imagine him putting his experience at the service of a playoff team. The Clippers are a name that has come up particularly in recent days, especially in view of the recent meeting between Paul George and the main interested party.
Philadelphia also appears to be a credible track, especially if Ben Simmons leaves. As is often the case in the NBA, it is the famous game of dominoes that will guide the market, and you have to be patient while waiting to see the first of these dominoes fall …
John Wall still enjoys good odds despite his recent struggles, and the Clippers are so far the most mentioned team on the record. Case to follow.
