NBA Trade News: John Wall, Reggie Jackson available for right price

John Wall, the Washington Wizards point guard, besides the Detroit Pistons duo of Reggie Jackson and Stanley Johnson are "impact players" who can be had for the right price via trade, per fresh reports.

It's that time of the season when general managers try to shake up their rosters ahead of the February deadline. And if reports are to be believed, the Wizards are willing to hit the reset button by trading Wall, the former No.1 draft pick, who has publicly criticised the team and the coaching staff for a string of losses to begin the season.

The Wizards (12-14) missed the playoffs last year and once again face tall odds in the eastern conference, with a host of teams battling for the sixth, seventh and eighth seeds. Even though the Wizards have failed to play to potential, Wall is averaging a career-high tally of 23.9 points, 9.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds -- a major step up from last season when he shot just 42 percent from the field for his 19.9 points per game.

John Wall trade: Really happening?

According to Larry Berger of USA Today, via Bleacher Report, Wall, Jackson and Johnson are all "available" ahead of the February deadline.

Meanwhile, Jackson, who signed a five-year, $US80 million ($AU109 million) contract with the Pistons last season, has struggled to find his rhythm since missing the first 21 games with knee tendinitis.

Since returning from injury, Jackson is averaging 13.8 points and 4.8 assists while shooting a poor 38 percent from the field. Also, Detroit is being outscored 3.4 points per 100 possessions when the point guard is on the floor. With backup PG Ish Smith running the floor, the team has fared better on both ends of the floor.

Seeing as Jackson is coming off a breakout season in 2015-16, it could be a little premature for the Pistons to trade him. Having said that, team president Stan Van Gundy is known to be very active during trade season; last February, he traded Ersan Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings to Orlando Magic in exchange for Tobias Harris. For several years, the Pistons have been one of the most active teams during the trade deadline.

Stanley Johnson, who was drafted No.8 overall in 2015, has not panned out the way the Pistons hoped. The athletic wing is clocking only 13.8 minutes in his sophomore season, averaging a tally of 3.8 points and 2.1 rebounds. Van Gundy has struggled to find playing time for Johnson, who still has a questionable jump shot.

Will the Washington Wizards actually consider a John Wall trade? It seems unlikely but if the Wizards can manage to secure a chest of future draft picks and assets, they could sign off on a potentially blockbuster trade.
