The Westbrook-Wall trade drew mixed reactions from fans online. While it was the best deal available for both teams who were looking to move their respective point guards, doubts around how they fit into their new teams remains a major cause of concern. Furthermore, Wall's return from injury is also debated, with fans expressing doubts whether the five-time NBA All-Star can return to his former levels.
