Possible destinations for John Wall
Since there is no buyout plan in sight a Wall trade will be very difficult. Wall is due to make $44 million this season and moving that cap number will be no small feat. The only team left with significant cap space is the Oklahoma City Thunder, our first possible destination for Wall.
