Moreover, with the Rockets agreeing to sit out Wall, he has been out of action. But with the recent talks around the league, there is a chance of his return to Washington.

While there is excitement among the Wizard fans to see Wall come home, the finances will be an issue. Moreover, Wall can’t produce at the level he did in his prime. With the Wizards looking to transition from the rebuilding stage, a Wall return might slow things down. Over the last three seasons, Wall has played just 113 games while sitting out the entire current season.
But while there are downsides, there are also upsides. Wall could be a deadly backup scorer for the Wizards. If he accepts taking a pay cut, Wall’s two-way play could make for a deadly bench unit. While he hasn’t played much, Wall still posted over 19 points per season.
