Why can the Rockets sit John Wall for seemingly as long as they want when the Pelicans, in (somewhat) similar circumstances, were forced by the NBA to play Anthony Davis? Good question.

More on this storyline

Adrian Wojnarowski: Wall and Rockets had agreed on him sitting out until a trade could be found, but the five-time All-Star guard talked to Houston general manager Rafael Stone on Friday about restarting a dialogue on a return to the active roster, sources said. Sides plan to talk again on Sunday. -via Twitter @wojespn / November 27, 2021

Adrian Wojnarowski: For Wall to play this season, there is likely a compromise that needs to be found between respecting Wall’s stature as an All-Star on a super-max contract and Rockets’ desire to have him play a complementary role to help develop their young core. -via Twitter @wojespn / November 27, 2021

Turns out that Wall gave his consent to the Rockets’ plan to hold him out this entire season, league sources say, only after they told him that his slice of playing time in Coach Stephen Silas’ rotation would be rather minimal for a five-time All-Star with Houston focused on the development of No. 2 overall pick Jalen Green and his backcourt mate Kevin Porter Jr. Beyond the Rockets’ obvious motivation to keep Wall as healthy as possible for potential trade talks, he showed enough in last season’s comeback that a larger role could make them more competitive than a team in the early stages of its post-James Harden rebuild would necessarily want. -via marcstein.substack.com / November 26, 2021
