John Wall criticizes Rockets: 'It's just a bad organization right now'

John Wall’s two-year stint with the Houston Rockets finally cameto an end last offseason, when the two sides agreed to a buyout –allowing the 32-year-old point guard to sign with the Los AngelesClippers.

Now, in a candid conversation on the “Run Your Race” podcast, Wall opened up to DallasMavericks guard Theo Pinson and co-host AJ Richardson about histime in Houston and why the relationship soured.

As soon as Pinson brought up the Rockets, Wall said that hisexperience was “trash.”

“Beyond trash. Because I'm going there thinking James[Harden] is going to be there, you know what I mean, when I gettraded [there], but he already wants out," Wall said. "When Ilanded, I’m about to go do my [press] conference and sh*t and hewas like, ‘Well, I'm on my way to Atlanta for Lil Baby’s birthday.’The f*ck?! [He’s] talking about, ‘You want to get on a jet withme?’ I just got traded here! I can’t f*ck up. I gotta beon good terms. I don't know how the owner is, how the GM is, Idon't know nothing. This ain't like I'm in D.C. If I was in D.C.I’d be like, ‘Hell yeah, we out!’ It’s my show. But this ain’t myshow over here…

“He don't come to training camp, none of that, so that news isall toxic. For me, I ain't played in two years. Mom passed, myAchilles, then COVID so I'm like, ‘I don't give a f*ck who playing,I just want to hoop. That's it.’ I went there, worked my ass offand played.”
