John Wall Picks Up Player Option

Houston Rockets guard John Wall has unsurprisingly accepted his player option for next season. This was a no-brainer for Wall considering the option is worth $47.4 million. Wall didn't play a single minute last season, so he's not going to get anywhere near that amount of money in free agency. In fact, Wall is the […]
