NBA Twitter is stoked on Russell Westbrook-John Wall trade
Few things get Twitter going like NBA drama.
When the news involves two of the league’s most polarizing players and two of the worst contracts in basketball, game on.
The Washington Wizards traded John Wall to the Houston Rockets for Russell Westbrook on Wednesday, a deal with more than its fair share of intrigue.
Wide range of thoughts on Westbrook-Wall deal
How will the new Rockets backcourt look featuring Wall alongside James Harden? What about Westbrook and Bradley Beal in Washington? Will Harden keep trying to push his way out of Houston? Will Wall return to form after almost two full seasons lost to injury? What will the Kentucky reunion of Wall and DeMarcus Cousins in Houston look like?
NBA Twitter has thoughts on it all, Cousins included.

If you told me in 2016 that the Houston Rockets would eventually get Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook, John Wall, and Demarcus Cousins, I would have probably exploded on the spot.

Y’all gotta understand... We LOVE John Wall in DC. LOVE HIM.
End of an era, for real. I am sick.— Gia Peppers (@GiaPeppers) December 3, 2020
The love DC had for John Wall far exceeded any that he received on a national NBA level Not many stars embrace a place, connect with it & represent it the way he did. He didn't win a championship in his 10 years but he won over hearts. This breakup will be hard for many to accept

Even with a COVID-shortened break, the NBA continues to win the offseason like no other sport.
