Now I'm just like "great, traded one untradeable contract for another untradeable contract". Only, I'm guessing Wall is so broken that he's functionally useless, whereas you might be able to fool some Eastern Conference team into thinking Westbrook is worth something to chase the #6 seed and take on his contract.

I don't see the upside for Houston in this trade. Is Wall a better fit with Harden than Westbrook? Last I remember about him, he not a consistent outside shooter and needs the ball in his hand to be effective. Plus, he hasn't been on a court in 2 years.
My guess is they're planning to move Harden at some point unless they luck out and Wall is better than expected.
