据Shams Charania报道，火箭队后卫约翰-沃尔已经选择了下赛季4740万美元的球员选项，双方预计将很快就他的未来达成决议。沃尔自2020-21赛季以来就没有打过球，因为他和火箭队达成协议，他将继续休战，而球队则致力于寻找交易伙伴，将他送到一个更具竞争力的球队。
这笔交易从未实现，由于火箭队专注于发展像贾伦-格林和小凯文-波特这样的年轻人，沃尔上个赛季基本上是在被交易的情况下保持状态的。随着他选择进入合同的最后一年，火箭队将不得不再次尝试寻找一个交易伙伴来接受他，或者讨论一个潜在的买断。

虽然沃尔由于多年来遭受的伤病，已经不是他曾经的那种球员，但整个联盟应该对他有一些兴趣。然而，由于他的合同价格很高，休斯顿可能很难找到一个交易伙伴来承担这笔交易。但如果双方就买断合同达成协议，肯定会有几支球队愿意为这位五次全明星球员冒险。
当沃尔在2020-21赛季健康时，他场均得到20.6分7助3.2板，表明他仍然可以成为一名高效球员。在合适的情况下，他仍然可以成为一名有影响力的球员，但鉴于沃尔还没有被交易，感觉球队宁愿等待他被买断，而不是交易他，为他的巨大合同放弃资产。

Rockets' John Wall opts into his $47.4 million player option for next season, per report
原文：
Houston Rockets guard John Wall has opted into his $47.4 million player option for next season, per Shams Charania, and the two sides are expected to come to a resolution on his future soon. Wall hasn't played since the 2020-21 season, as he and the Rockets came to an agreement that he would continue to sit out while the team worked on finding a trade partner to send him to a more competitive team.
That deal never came to fruition, and as the Rockets focused on developing young guys like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr., Wall was essentially paid last season to remain in shape in the instance that he was traded. With him opting into the final year of his contract, the Rockets will once again have to try and find a trade partner to take him on, or discuss a potential buyout.

Though Wall is not the type of player he once was due to the injuries he has suffered over the years, there should be some interest in him across the league. However, with the high price tag on his contract, it may be difficult for Houston to find a trade partner to take on that deal. But if the two sides came to an agreement on a contract buyout, there would surely be several teams willing to take a risk on the five-time All-Star.
When Wall was healthy during the 2020-21 season, he averaged 20.6 points, nearly seven assists and 3.2 rebounds, showing that he can still be a highly productive player. In the right situation, he could still be an impactful player, but given that Wall hasn't been traded yet it feels like teams would rather wait for him to be bought out rather than trading for him and giving up assets for his huge contract.
