Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard: "There's no plans to trade John. Obviously, it's unfortunate at this time of year... I was with John this morning. I watched him work out."

Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard said John Wall hasn't requested a trade. He says he and Wall and Beal have always been on the "same wave." Sheppard says he talks with Wall every other day: "There's no issue with John and I, with John and the Wizards."

ANALYSIS: Tommy Sheppard must be having deja vu because wasn't this the exact wording verbatim regarding Bradley Beal's name being brought up in trade talks? Even if the Wizards wanted to deal Wall, they'd have to find a partner to match his extremely supersized supermax contract. That is not an easy task, and with Wall not having played a game in over a year-and-a-half, you'll need good luck to do it.
