Inks two-year deal with Clips Wall and the Clippers agreed Friday to a two-year, $13.2 million contract, per Klutch Sports Group.
Impact Wall joins the Clippers after a contract buyout with the Rockets. Wall hasn't played since April 2020, as he sat out all last season with Houston looking to develop young players. The 31-year-old, five-time All-Star will presumably slot into the starting point guard spot, forming a formidable Clippers rotation that includes Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, plus a myriad of skilled and experienced role players.

Trade or buyout could be coming Wall and the Rockets will meet this week to discuss a potential trade or contract buyout, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Impact As expected, Wall opted into his $47.4 million player option for the 2022-23 season, but as an expiring contract he's not much easier to trade or buy out than he was last season, which he ended up sitting out entirely. For Wall, the easier path to finding a new team is likely a buyout, though the Rockets would obviously prefer to find a trade partner in order to ease at least a portion of the financial burden. Per Iko, "a breakup between Wall and the franchise is gaining momentum," so the hope is that a resolution can be reached prior to the start of free agency on the evening of Thursday, June 30. When Wall last played -- 40 games for Houston in 2020-21 -- he averaged 20.6 points on 40.4 percent shooting to go with 6.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest. The No. 1 overall pick in 2010 turns 32 in September, but he's missed the entirety of two of the last three seasons due to a combination of injuries and the contract situation.

Report: John Wall Exercising Player Option for 2022–23 Season He’ll reportedly make $47.4 million next season.
JUNE 21, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Exercises player option for 2022-23 Wall exercised his $47.4 million player option for the 2022-23 campaign, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wall didn't play a single game during the 2021-22 campaign as the team prioritized the development of Jalen Green and Kevin Porter. The 2010 first-round pick turned down the opportunity to play as a reserve and instead focused on individual development in anticipation of a potential trade. Both sides are expected to work through a resolution to Wall's tenure in Houston during the offseason, but if he's not traded this summer, he'll look for a buyout agreement during the 2022-23 season, per Michael Scotto of USA Today.
