The John Wall era in Washington is over. The Wizards traded Wall and a 2023 protected first round pick to the Houston Rockets for Russell Westbrook.
Wall has been a Wizard for his entire career and was one of the longest-tenured players with one team in the NBA. Not only that, be he also ingratiated himself with the the people of the city. There was a legitimate connection between them.
So it’s no wonder that Wall’s goodbye to the city was so heartfelt. In a tweet, he thanked Wizards fans for supporting him for as long as they have. It was extremely touching.
Take a look.

“I may not wear the jersey anymore but I will never forget what it meant to represent for y’all. This isn’t the way I thought I would say goodbye to this city, so I won’t…I will say thank you. “
Man. Houston’s got a good one.
