I assuming that Wall has not refused to play since he has not been fined by the team. I am also assuming if it was mutually agreed upon, the Rockets should have come to the conclusion that NO ONE is trading for John Wall's contract as is. So the idea that the Rockets are paying John Wall $90 million over the next two years to sit home is 100 times more ridiculous than the Texans paying Deshaun Watson.

My understanding is that they are just committing to being as terrible as possible for the higher draft pick. Wall would get them a few extra wins that they don't want.
