NBA Trade Rumors: John Wall Heading To The Detroit Pistons For Reggie Jackson And Stanley Johnson [VIDEO]
Trade rumors start to swirl around again to John Wall this time. Reports are saying that a rumored deal is said to be in the works between the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons with Reggie Jackson and Stanley Johnson as part of the deal.
Since the Wizards begin to stumble this regular season, Wall's name had been dragged to numerous trade deals. He's been linked to being traded to the Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets and just recently with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, none of those trade deals have ever prospered and just fades away in the news.
Being a high-value player, Wall has been targeted by many teams that are interested in adding him to their roster. The 26-year old North Carolina native have established his name in the league being a top-caliber point guard for the Wizards. However, as the Wizards continue to decline this season, frustration is said to be setting into Wall and buzz are rumbling that he might ask the team to trade him.
With this impending situation, reports are floated that Wall's imminent transfer might happen soon. According to The Inquisitr, trade talks between the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons could be under way. Trade scenario is suggesting that the Wizards will move John Wall to the Pistons in exchange for Reggie Jackson and Stanley Johnson plus two future first-round draft picks.
The trade will also work under the NBA trade rules and salary cap restriction and will have the go signal from the league official as per stated in the report. But what would the trade will bring to the two teams involved?
The Piston will greatly benefit from this transaction having a 3-time NBA All-Star doing the playmaking on their backcourt. Wall is currently averaging 23.9 points, 9.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds a big boost on the Pistons' offense. On the other hand, the Wizards could make use of Jackson as ample replacement for Wall while Johnson could be a third stringer at the small forward spot.
Bleacher Report also recently reported a possible swap between two Eastern Conference point guards referring to John Wall and Reggie Jackson. Though the Piston might consider of moving Jackson, the Wizards seems to be not ready of letting go Wall and are still hopeful that he can still lead the team moving forward.
Will the Washington Wizards and Detroit Piston agree to move John Wall, Reggie Jackson, and Stanley Johnson?
