Washington Wizards trade rumors: Will Wall's rumored move be beneficial for him?
When one superstar makes a big move elsewhere, he is always under the public eye as they try to see if he is going to make a positive difference in the NBA.
There are some stories that end successfully, with LeBron James' big move to the Miami Heat as a big example. The Heat would go on to win two NBA championships during his time in Florida.
Other times, it may not work. With rumors of John Wall of the Washington Wizards possibly moving out, it may be a case of a star simply trying to find a place where he gambles to succeed.
Wall has constantly been in the conversation about the best point guards in the game.
He has helped shape the Wizards into a good team, battling for playoff spots every year. In his career, Wall averages 18.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game and has been an All-Star in the last three years.
However, it appears that things are not progressing fast enough for Wall in Washington and now talks of him moving to the Boston Celtics are circulating as he tries to make a splash in the league.
It is a gamble for Wall and the Celtics as the former will have to get used to a new system and hope to see immediate results.
On the other hand, the Celtics are an established group with a strong core and a young and talented coach to lead them. Messing with their current roster may lead to chemistry problems even when adding a star like Wall.
This rumor, if it turns true, may shift the power in the East and propel the Celtics into title contention against teams like the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, it may also be another case of too much talent in a team that would fail to live up to their potential.
