trying to figure out why Charlotte would want Wall since they signed Scary Terry.

J Wall is from North Carolina so he could like charlotte
and Charlotte is not a free agent destination

Only two years ago J Wall was a challenger for MVP (top 10 player, top-3 pointguard), His achilles injury is problematic for biggs, but smaller players have a better chance coming back to their old level.
So Charlotte gets an all star for free if he's coming back for 90% and they get a draft pick, so they can develop a young talent if Wall doesn't heal from that injury.

Rozier is only on a three year contract. Wall is out this year, so next year Rozier is only on a two year contract for a reasonable price (38M for 2 years), so Rozier is an interesting player for the 2021 tradedeadline.

So Charlotte trades valuable expiring contracts for arguably the worst contract in the NBA for nothing more than a late 1st round pick.

Yeah, Charlotte might not be a free agent destination, but this destroys any cap flexibility they would have. If I am Charlotte, I need more than a late 1st to do this. Much, much more.

Gasupo, it is really, really hard to trade for someone when their health/ recovery is such an unknown. And then have to pay them $30+ mil on top of that.

Wall is at like 40 million with4 years left and his game is predicated on him being quick. That’s not something people tend to be after an Achilles injury at 30ish.

Fredman - actually, $40+.

Wall is owed $41 million, $44 million, and $47 million (player option year) over the next 3 seasons (not counting this season) .
