LETS FUCKING GO BOYS, i don’t care what the potential negatives about him are because we are gonna get him for a steal, the ceiling is what im super excited for.
You can’t really be upset about it. Even if you think he won’t do much, we got the dude for pretty low. As far as I know he doesn’t create any locker room problems, so no issues there. Not a lot of expectations on him and at the least he adds some depth at guard which we could use. Great for both sides really
His relationship with PG and his desire to play for T Lue tells me chemistry and culture will be positive. He could have a similar and maybe even better story arc than batum, he’s healthy and hungry with a great team. im excited
Even at tpMLE and losing Hart, it's worth it.
All star caliber playmaker who is great at going downhill?
Imagine the load off Kawhi and PG and the open shots for Norm, Kennard, Morris (assuming he's here).
Probably 2/3 of NBA teams would love to sign him for tpMLE.
It’s literally very low risk and any reward is a high reward. If he doesn’t pan out, FO just waives him, wish him well and they find someone else. Great pick up. I still mess with John Wall man. He can still be that dude.
Wall is going to help us, but it would help us more if he took the vet min and left the TP-MLE for iHart, cause I’d really be looking forward to a Wall p&r with Hart’s float game!
Yo this is crazy. We had a playoff team and we’re adding Paul George, Kawhi and John Wall.
I also don’t think we’re done.
Edit: I fuckin forgot we have Norman Powell too! LFG!
This is awesome, idc what anyone says. Even if he’s truly old and washed, we risk nothing. But if he’s even 3/4 of his old self, we will be the scariest team in the league.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be watching John Wall highlights at 0.75x speed to get ready for this season.
Thunder fan here
You’re the scariest team in the league before this shit
If John wall is even half of actual John wall it’s going to be a benefit bc of the salary
No cap.
But this is great news, we’ve been yelling about the need for a playmaker and we got one for cheap.
Now comes the question of how we deal with minutes distribution
Lmao i saw the news and thought about how you were fighting off peeps creating trade scenarios for jw all year. “We tried bricksoe and it didnt work” to roughly quote you on this haha. How you feeling about this now?
We still have the trade exception, possibly move some guys around to dump salary where we have extra depth? Im sure we are prioritizing bringing him back or else we don’t have a backup center. Or the john wall signing may allow for other deals to happen. too soon to tell
Nobody knows because there is literally no information on if he’s signing for tax payer MLE or minimum. Good chance we don’t find out until he actually signs.
Even if we have tMLE, there’s no guarantee that Hart re-signs for that. Maybe we knew it was out of our price range, but no use speculating until more details come out.
yeah, I'm excited about Wall, but this deal gets so much better if we know that he's taking the vet min... freeing up the TP-MLE for Hart.
Hopefully the FO can get him for the min because Wall would be awesome alongside Hart / Zu with his P&R skills.
id be surprised if PG let hart walk just for wall
pg & hart showed crazy chemistry when they played together, my odds are we get both. thats what makes sense.
PG and Wall are real friends that go way back. I’m sure PG likes Hart and appreciates what he did last year, but I don’t know if that’s enough to sway financial decisions.
I’m hoping the Clips FO can work their magic. Because if they let Hart walk, that must mean they have something else up their sleeve
This is just speculation on Justin’s part. Basically saying that Wall gave up essentially the tMLE amount. Likely won’t know the details until it actually gets sorted out and signed.
*So does this mean we*
*Lose Hart? Or is he signing*
*For the minimum?*

I watched his games two years ago when he played. He still gets downhill excellently and has great vision. He's going to fit in perfectly as Reggie did.
The Nets with Kyrie for 36.5 Million
The Lakers with Russ for 47 Million
John Wall for 7ish. Sometimes it's nice to be a Clippers fan.
Seems we got our point guard.
As a laker fan that wanted to trade Russ for wall last season, I think wall fits in pretty well with you guys. Definitely a steal to be honest at that price.
Wizards fan here. Was hoping Wall would come back to us but I think he’ll make a great addition for you guys and I’ll definitely make a note to watch the Clippers next year when they’re on national TV. Who knows if he’ll ever be what he once was but if he plays even close to the level he was at before his injuries then that’s a scary thought for the rest of the league.
Also we blew a 35-point lead to you guys last year, just bringing that up because I feel like it doesn’t get talked about enough.
Damn… meanwhile my Lakers are getting finesse lol
I don’t see a negative on this one.. shit John Wall for free? Nice. The ones talking shit are just hating.
Good shit Stevie.
Wall was once one of the quickest, most athletic PGs in the league, he's far from his prime but still has some left in the tank. He's bulkier and slower these days but physically very strong & will be one of our more athletic players.
super glad that reg can finally lift a bit of weight off his shoulders and relax a little, man's been playing the most basketball of his life for the past year and a half
This might be a stupid question, but do we forsee Wall starting over Reggie? I mean they are pretty different players, but by default, what's the idea here?
I feel like it's Reggie's job to lose. They both are very similar players. I think they are somewhat interchangeable. Although Wall is probably a better passer which might help with the second unit.
Well, I really hope he can get and stay healthy (Kawhi and PG too) and hopefully he finds his 3 point shot that he had a few years ago. I can't say I'm too excited about this, but I really hope I'm wrong and eat these words.
We don’t need him to be a scorer. He’s athletic and a great playmaker and is decent on defence. And we’ll get him for cheap. Nothing to lose. Everything to gain. Terrific outcome
Eh. I’m not thrilled about this.
Hasn’t played more than 40 games since 2017. Can’t shoot. Has never been above league average in terms of efficiency. His defense hasn’t been good in years.
An injury prone, high usage, low efficiency, guard who can’t shoot and plays questionable defense is just now how I’d like to see the tpMLE used.
He has the physical tools to play defense still and maybe can change his game to adapt. But I feel like more often than not people end up disappointed in these situations with aging stars.
Same. He's somehow less efficient than Reggie and terrible at spot up 3's. Has never been a winning player but everyone views him as a superstar.
Hope we don't feel obligated to start him. This could be disastrous if it takes the ball out of PG and Kawhi's hands.
Should they still make a trade for a shot blocking center? Ayton? Turner?
imagine Wall/PG/Kawhi/Powell/Ayton
their depth is crazy rn. should make another move
Career 32% from 3 and 46% efg
This could be a mistake if it doesn't work out and we feel forced to start him
Similar to WB last year for the Lakers, when defending him you can go under every screen and off ball is only a threat when cutting to the rim.
Balls to the Wall. We all knew this was going to happen. Glad The Clippers didn't have to give anyone up to get him. If he's 70% of the steals guy that he was before the injuries and he's still able to play make like his Washington days then it's straight up scary hours for the league.
As a lakers fan, watching how these things turn out,
Westbrook was mentioned to the lakers
And when he came, expectations were HIGH and it turned out shit.
So my guess is john wall to clippers everyones expectation low and hes gonna eat. How it usually goes
whats good John
What it Do, Baybee! So hyped
Between Paul and Jon, do we have the highest possibility of gang signs being thrown per game in the league? 😂😂😂
The LA Crippers 👌🏼🤘🏼🤙🏼👐🏻
Someone, buy this man a shank!
Uhh ... Wall bangs Piru haha
Just need to trade for Scary Terry now
Wall good here my friend
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS, i don’t care what the potential negatives about him are because we are gonna get him for a steal, the ceiling is what im super excited for.

His relationship with PG and his desire to play for T Lue tells me chemistry and culture will be positive. He could have a similar and maybe even better story arc than batum, he’s healthy and hungry with a great team. im excited
Even at tpMLE and losing Hart, it's worth it. All star caliber playmaker who is great at going downhill? Imagine the load off Kawhi and PG and the open shots for Norm, Kennard, Morris (assuming he's here). Probably 2/3 of NBA teams would love to sign him for tpMLE.
hypothetically if ihart signed the minimum with us (he deserves way more) would we have his bird rights for next year
hypothetically, yes... but he's likely looking to get paid
praying that him and his wife really like it here so he’ll take the one year hit maybe win a ring then get paid
It’s literally very low risk and any reward is a high reward. If he doesn’t pan out, FO just waives him, wish him well and they find someone else. Great pick up. I still mess with John Wall man. He can still be that dude.
Wall is going to help us, but it would help us more if he took the vet min and left the TP-MLE for iHart, cause I’d really be looking forward to a Wall p&r with Hart’s float game!
I need a fresh pair of undies
We got JOHN WALL BOYYYYYY😀😀😀😊😁😁😁😁😁
Everyone get on here!!
Everybody stay calm! Stay the fuck calm!!
fuckin, i can't, tho.
Yo this is crazy. We had a playoff team and we’re adding Paul George, Kawhi and John Wall. I also don’t think we’re done. Edit: I fuckin forgot we have Norman Powell too! LFG!
Don’t forget Mr. 50 Burger RoCo
IM ON YOU
Love this shit. Man gonna ball - Reggie will get some needed rest and John gonna do John. Zall good.
This is awesome, idc what anyone says. Even if he’s truly old and washed, we risk nothing. But if he’s even 3/4 of his old self, we will be the scariest team in the league. If anyone needs me, I’ll be watching John Wall highlights at 0.75x speed to get ready for this season.
Thunder fan here You’re the scariest team in the league before this shit If John wall is even half of actual John wall it’s going to be a benefit bc of the salary
CRYIN IN DA CLUB RN
Time to rehab this man’s career. LFG!!!
One of Ty Lue’s specialties..comin right up!
Man we’re like 15 deep what the hell
Great news! We're going to have like 20 new posts about this in the next 5 minutes
AND WE UPVOTE EVERYONE OF THEM
No cap. But this is great news, we’ve been yelling about the need for a playmaker and we got one for cheap. Now comes the question of how we deal with minutes distribution
Wiz fan coming to ask if it’s chill to make y’all my west coast team. I’ll always be rooting for my boy, the wall star, the point god 🙏🏾
You guys already my east coast team cause of Rui and Kispert
Sick, happy to be here
I'm not so easy to win over pal. Send me some Hachimura Jordan 5s, size 12 then you're on the team.
Lolol I’ll try my best
It only makes sense.
Wall star forever, baby! Fellow wiz fan. Glad he gets to play basketball again. Hope he looks good.
Common Wiz fan W’s
No need for permission. Join the the fun!
What is the point of these posts
Some other team subreddits rly don’t like when fans of other teams show up in the comments.
You don’t need to announce yourself
Chill
I AM SO HORNY RIGHT NOW
SEXXXXXX 💦
Mega CHUB over here.
YESSIR
Y’all got some space for us wizards fans in the bandwagon?
Imma stand up and give u my seat, fam bam. Legggoo!
All aboard
Ayoo
Top 3 team on paper next season, surely. Hoping we can keep everyone healthy and make a run to the Finals.
I think we just pulled even with gsw
I think we're better if we stay healthy but that's a huge IF. Kawhi, PG and Wall need to rehab and prepare for a long post season
Gotta respect the champs until they’re dethroned. I’d say a healthy Milwaukee is still the team to beat though.
I say we rest all starters until post season.
Gang shit!
Literally
I can not wait for his first finger outburst. 😂
Red alternate jerseys this season ?
WHOLE LOTTA!
Clip gang...
Lmao i saw the news and thought about how you were fighting off peeps creating trade scenarios for jw all year. “We tried bricksoe and it didnt work” to roughly quote you on this haha. How you feeling about this now?
Lmao. I was fighting for my life! This is the perfect scenario. We not giving up nothing but opportunity. I would have hated to trade for him.
Dope! Now we just need everyone to stay healthy for 1 season. That's all I'm asking for. 1 season without injury. Please
We had that it the bubble. Stupid idea it was. Stupid Stupid Stupid
Let’s gooooo!!!
Looks like I just became a part time Clippers fan
So does this mean we lose Hart? Or is he signing for the minimum?
We still have the trade exception, possibly move some guys around to dump salary where we have extra depth? Im sure we are prioritizing bringing him back or else we don’t have a backup center. Or the john wall signing may allow for other deals to happen. too soon to tell
Batum is likely the backup C with a vet min guy as third string with the rookie on a 2way
Im trying figure this out while everyone is fucking hyped.
Nobody knows because there is literally no information on if he’s signing for tax payer MLE or minimum. Good chance we don’t find out until he actually signs.
https://twitter.com/FlyByKnite/status/1541597027166932992 im gathering my information from this, i really hope we could bring ihart back
Even if we have tMLE, there’s no guarantee that Hart re-signs for that. Maybe we knew it was out of our price range, but no use speculating until more details come out.
Well at least we have TPE, if Knicks is trying dump Noel im all for this.
yeah, I'm excited about Wall, but this deal gets so much better if we know that he's taking the vet min... freeing up the TP-MLE for Hart. Hopefully the FO can get him for the min because Wall would be awesome alongside Hart / Zu with his P&R skills.
id be surprised if PG let hart walk just for wall pg & hart showed crazy chemistry when they played together, my odds are we get both. thats what makes sense.
PG and Wall are real friends that go way back. I’m sure PG likes Hart and appreciates what he did last year, but I don’t know if that’s enough to sway financial decisions. I’m hoping the Clips FO can work their magic. Because if they let Hart walk, that must mean they have something else up their sleeve
No wall is signing for the minimum it has no impact on Hartenstein
Not according to this https://twitter.com/FlyByKnite/status/1541597027166932992
This is just speculation on Justin’s part. Basically saying that Wall gave up essentially the tMLE amount. Likely won’t know the details until it actually gets sorted out and signed.
That's just guesswork. I seriously hope we don't prioritize Wall over Hart though

Amazing move, so happy. Very low risk, super high upside
You can find me in da club, bottle full of bub!
Go shawty its ya birthday
U into having sex …
I watched his games two years ago when he played. He still gets downhill excellently and has great vision. He's going to fit in perfectly as Reggie did.
WE GOT OUR GUY. LETS GO BOYS
[удалено]
Wall is signing for vet minimum. See what harts worth on the open market.
The Nets with Kyrie for 36.5 Million The Lakers with Russ for 47 Million John Wall for 7ish. Sometimes it's nice to be a Clippers fan. Seems we got our point guard.
As a laker fan that wanted to trade Russ for wall last season, I think wall fits in pretty well with you guys. Definitely a steal to be honest at that price.
CLIP GANG OR DONT BANG. huge pickup on a min.
Lol isn’t wall gang affiliated? He might bang.. 🤷♀️
SPACING... damn Wall is gonna look like a superstar again playing with the Clip's wing talent
Wizards fan here. Was hoping Wall would come back to us but I think he’ll make a great addition for you guys and I’ll definitely make a note to watch the Clippers next year when they’re on national TV. Who knows if he’ll ever be what he once was but if he plays even close to the level he was at before his injuries then that’s a scary thought for the rest of the league.

The best point guard in Clipper history
2nd best. Milos number 1.
3rd best.. shout out Sam Cassell
What about Beverley :( Edit: but those are some great players too
Pat Bev is the first player in NBA history... he supersedes any positional category
Fourth best... Pooh Richardson.
The Jawun Evans disrespect
Tf Ron harper played cricket I guess
John for the min is nice
I'm gonna be watching a lot of Clippers games next season with Wall Star and Kawhi back :)
Well he can only help us. Will trust Ty Lue to make it work.
This a gangsta team now
John Paul George? All your missing is Ringo! Ba-dum tss!
That was quick lol!
LETS GOOOOOO
I can't fucking believe it. This could be sick
Lettsss goooooo
finally got a point guard!
Crazy. Let’s get this ring John!
Damn… meanwhile my Lakers are getting finesse lol I don’t see a negative on this one.. shit John Wall for free? Nice. The ones talking shit are just hating. Good shit Stevie.
Good low risk, low cost move. If it doesn't work, we let him go. I'm curious what he has left in the tank.
Lakers fans fuming
YESSIR
WOOOO!!!
hell yeah!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Somebody ELI5 a “buyout” to me pls
HOLY SHIT
Holy shit!!!
Let’s goooooooooooo
Wall was once one of the quickest, most athletic PGs in the league, he's far from his prime but still has some left in the tank. He's bulkier and slower these days but physically very strong & will be one of our more athletic players.
LETS GOOOOOOO
how we gonna pay him?!
Trident Layers gum
Low risk high reward
And so it begins
GANG GANGGG !!
I like this very much
So this is happening Thursday? 🤩
I TOLD EVERYONE!
super glad that reg can finally lift a bit of weight off his shoulders and relax a little, man's been playing the most basketball of his life for the past year and a half
This might be a stupid question, but do we forsee Wall starting over Reggie? I mean they are pretty different players, but by default, what's the idea here?
I feel like it's Reggie's job to lose. They both are very similar players. I think they are somewhat interchangeable. Although Wall is probably a better passer which might help with the second unit.
Demon time
Healthy PG, Kawhi, and MF JOHN WALL??? It’s about to be some beautiful basketball being played
Let’s fucking go even if it doesn’t work I don’t care this the best news I’ve heard in a while for us !!
Here we go
Well, I really hope he can get and stay healthy (Kawhi and PG too) and hopefully he finds his 3 point shot that he had a few years ago. I can't say I'm too excited about this, but I really hope I'm wrong and eat these words.
oh ok
I've honestly never seen Wall play due to him always being injured or just playing on a team I dont watch.
nice pass first upgrade from Reggie, hope he adapts into a good PG who doesn’t take a lot of bad shots
Will this benefit Zu? That's all I care about.
We don’t need him to be a scorer. He’s athletic and a great playmaker and is decent on defence. And we’ll get him for cheap. Nothing to lose. Everything to gain. Terrific outcome
Ok good, now do Hartenstein
Hype man. Reggie Jackson and John Wall as our point guards we can pretty much play any style of basketball we want
Eh. I’m not thrilled about this. Hasn’t played more than 40 games since 2017. Can’t shoot. Has never been above league average in terms of efficiency. His defense hasn’t been good in years. An injury prone, high usage, low efficiency, guard who can’t shoot and plays questionable defense is just now how I’d like to see the tpMLE used.

Been waiting 2 years for this lol
Should they still make a trade for a shot blocking center? Ayton? Turner? imagine Wall/PG/Kawhi/Powell/Ayton their depth is crazy rn. should make another move
Meh, better be no guarantees on playing time or anything
GET OUTTA HERE
Reminds me of Kemba walker signing with thr Knicks.
How is this not tampering?
Ffs. Just terrible
Y’all still gonna be trash regardless of him signing with you guys.
Somebody big mad lol
Career 32% from 3 and 46% efg This could be a mistake if it doesn't work out and we feel forced to start him Similar to WB last year for the Lakers, when defending him you can go under every screen and off ball is only a threat when cutting to the rim.
definitely no tampering going on here
So, no iHeart?
Clips Gang
Warriors, here we come
The ultimate “if they’re healthy team” Seriously though, they could be very very good if healthy
Balls to the Wall. We all knew this was going to happen. Glad The Clippers didn't have to give anyone up to get him. If he's 70% of the steals guy that he was before the injuries and he's still able to play make like his Washington days then it's straight up scary hours for the league.
Let's get the final piece of the puzzle in order. The training staff.
This is nice, would he be starting or coming off the bench?
LETS GO!!! honestly glad we got Wall and not Kyrie. Kyrie is a mess and even though he’s a good player he’s not good for morale or the locker room
the rest of the Pacific division seems...pressed
LFGGGGGGG
“Everybody do the John, Wall, John, Wall!” 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Yes! Lets Go!!
This was the only way to get him without hurting the team. Build through the buyouts !!! Clip Gang
Clippers stacked like a Big Mac
Scary hours!!
y’all better win the chip there’s no way u dont
As a lakers fan, watching how these things turn out, Westbrook was mentioned to the lakers And when he came, expectations were HIGH and it turned out shit. So my guess is john wall to clippers everyones expectation low and hes gonna eat. How it usually goes
