I know the reality maybe slim to none...but he's disgruntled and the Wizards seem to moving backwards. He's locked in on a great contract and when his mind and attitude is right he's one of the best point guards in the league.
What would you trade to get him? LMA? Parker? Etc.
Parker, Murray, Anderson works contacts wise.

Nah. The smartest thing is probably to ride the wake of this trade. Like get the current PG from whichever team trades for him, or try to grab some pieces from Washington after Wall is gone.

I obviously don't know what it'd take to get in the sweepstakes for Wall..but I can see him getting moved. You wouldn't be interested to kick the tires for him?

For his price... no. He and Kawhi look to be an awkward fit, and without LMA they are definitely not a contender. But if some team ends up making the commitment and are sending out a journeyman PG, I'd be on the phone.

Re: John Wall Sweepstakes?
Wall won't be traded until this Summer or next year's mid-season IMO..they'll give Scott Brooks 1 season to work things out, considering the Wizards are currently in no-man's land(mediocre and no future)..
He will definitely be traded at some point prior to the ending of his contract, though IMO, since he is their only positive asset that could acquire anything of value..
Signing a mediocre, injury-prone SG to a 5-year max deal really destroyed their future outlook, tbh..

Well if they stay where they are on the standings near the deadline I can see something happening.

It wouldn't be shocking, but they could do a lot better than anything the Spurs could offer IMO..even Aldridge doesn't make sense for them..

John Wall is a more athletic version of Rondo & just as much of a locker-room cancer.:nope
The Wizard would be better served trading him to the Pelicans for Jrue Holiday & lotto picks b/c the Pelicans are desperate for an all-star sidekick for Davis. He's buddies w/ Davis & knows he's better than him so he won't be bitching about his contract.

And that's when the Spurs swoop in and get Jrue for Parker and pick(s). It's the perfect crime.

Why in the hell would the Wiz take Porker & a late 1st rd pick over Jrue unless he doesn't want to play in Washington?:lol
Maybe if he got traded to the Wolves for Dunn/Rubio I could see the Wiz finding a late 1st rd pick to be attractive for a Rubio/Porker swap especially since Porker has a shorter contract.

He's expiring, and they aren't going anywhere. At least they know Tony will be there for another year. That's comforting, right?

Porker is essentially the worst starting point guard in the league, they might as well sign Teague in the summer. I'm not sure what's "comforting" about having Porker's contract on the pay-roll.:lol
The only starting material playmakers I could see being moved for Porker are guys on a similar or longer contract who have been deemed expendable.
Off the top of my head, I can only come up w/ two:
-Rubio
-Monta Ellis
...maybe Brandon Knight but they can probably get a protected lotto pick for him from a team like the Kings.

Why not make a move for Dunn?

In any case, Dunn is too raw to even be a starting point guard. Eric Bledsoe is essentially the fully formed version of Dunn.

Tony will never leave the Spurs. Pop has already put him in his will.
I'd trade LaMarcus' extra fat for Wall, fwiw.

I'm talking about pre-injury Rondo at his peak ('08-'12) when he was dueling & at times outplaying Lebron.

Spurs get:
PG - Wall
SG/SF/PF - Porter
SF/PF - Morris
Wizards get :
PF - Aldridge
PG - Mills
SF - Anderson
PG - Murray
Who says no, who says yes?

I wasn't suggesting a Parker/Dunn trade. I don't think they would give him away. But the TWolves have a glut of guys they want/have to handle the ball, and Dunn, therefore, might be obtainable.
I'd love to get Bledsoe. I might even consider taking their garbage, Chandler, in a package that included ours, too.
PF - Aldridge
PG - Mills
SF - Anderson
PG - Murray
Who says no, who says yes?
Patty is going to be a free agent & Fat Head/Murray are unproven players. I don't think they will trade Porter since he's basically their only bright spot this season. If they are intrigued enough w/ DeJounte they could do a Wall/Morris swap for Softridge/Patty/Murray & have Patty be the stop gap PG. Parting w/ Morris shouldn't be an issue since he plays the same position as Softridge.

Wall doesn't have a scorer's mentality & is a much better playmaker/defender than WestBrick. Wall is also really fast from end-to-end but he isn't explosive on his drives which was basically what Rondo was before he got injured. I also don't remember ever seeing Wall post up which is what WestBrick does against most PGs.
+5 wins for the spurs
-8 wins for the wizards :lol
I've thought about this but they would have to be really in love w/ Softridge but I don't remember then recruiting him when he was a free-agent. Probably have to throw in Murray to sweeten the pot even if they wanted Softridge to be the face of their franchise.
