If you thought the NBA’s silly season would take a holiday in an unconventional offseason, that memo did not reach John Wall. Wall apparently wants out of Washington, requesting a trade in the wake of the rumors surrounding discussions of a swap involving himself and Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook — who also has asked out of his current situation.
