Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall and a first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

It actually happened. After years of growing disdain between Bradley Beal and John Wall, Beal finally gets his wish. John Wall is gone. This trade comes after Wall missed all of last season due to injury.

Westbrook will look to make it work with another star, once again. Westbrook couldn’t make it work with KD on the Thunder, couldn’t make it work with Paul George, couldn’t make it work with James Harden, and now it appears he’ll have his chance to co-exist with Bradley Beal.

I think the craziest part of this whole deal is that Washington was willing to give up a first round pick. For Russell Westbrook, who was awful last season? Really?

Bradley Beal must’ve really wanted John Wall out of Washington. Well, he got his wish. Now, let’s see if the Wizards can build something with Russ and Beal.

I, for one, am hoping to see John Wall get some redemption while playing with Houston. Wall has been very active on social media throughout the offseason, posting to social media and saying that he feels 100%. He’s trying to prove that he still has the ability to be a star in the NBA. Now he’ll get a chance to prove it without Beal breathing down his neck.

This deal is fascinating on many levels, we’ll see how it plays out.
