    I got news for you: Unless they get a crazy offer, Rockets will not reward Cam with a trade. Doesn't work that way.

    If Cam thinks he can pull a Jimmy Butler and force his way to another team, he has a hard lesson ahead. He's just a second year player and isn't as important as he thinks he is.

    Nah bruh, he is no longer young enough to be demanding stuff.... He just wants a chip so he can retire.... He can still hoop and make The Rockets elite... Imagine the defense with this lineup... Amen, Green, Jabari, Dillon and Jimmy.... Like, good luck....

    This seems like reaching. Perhaps there's Jimmy Butler agenda bots trying to create something out of nothing.

    Cam is playing well.

    Are some of you people trying to insinuate that Cameron Whitmore might be a punk ass? Because if y’all are, I won’t stand for it.

    I don't think he's a bad dude either, but I'm not sure he's all there emotionally. I get an occasional KPJ vibe. Maybe he's just moody. Time will tell. He's ridiculously young so hopefully he outgrows whatever it is.

    I disagree. He's 35 years old and the reports are he wants one more big contract. He's definitely still a dog on d but that can go away quickly. He's also trashed our team before. Don't want him. Now he's desperate and all of a sudden he's interested in playing here. I don't want someone who can mess up our chemistry

    Comparing him to KPJ is harsh. KPJ was completely worthless on and off the court.

    Be fair. We're Rockets fans and Cam isn't exactly showing us he wants to contribute to the team. If you're being sarcastic I apologize

    He’s 20 yrs old. Part of what’s great about his game mentality is the IDGAF tude. It’s part of Stone and Ime’s job to understand how to rein him in or to move on and maximize the return. Think about how much rope we gave KPJ. Cam may need an attitude adjustment but he doesn’t have an incident history like KPJ. I say be firm but patient. Most of us don’t know how he’s behaved around the team so we have to trust Stone and Ime’s judgment on how to proceed. I don’t have much faith in Stone’s judgement on this kind of thing (Christian Wood and KPJ), but I have faith in Ime.

    As much as i like Cam and think he's a future star, we're going to have to trade him if this continues. This relationship will become toxic sooner or later and it's clear he wont be getting preference over any of the starters, not with that attitude. If he only had some patience, but in his mind he prob believes he is one of the best players on the rockets. And i have to admit he is an offencive juggernaut but his defence is obviously below par and he is only second year.... difficult situation...

    My only concern is when he comes here he will try to steal Alperun’s nickname Turkey Buckets.

    Who says Jalen is talking about Cam?

    Cam didn't bump Eason.

    Yo, only an enemy of the rockets would exaggerate or make this stuff up.

    Jimmy Butler is currently suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, this is like the third franchise he has pulled this with and he is a 35 year old grown man. You would be trading one headache for another larger more expensive one.

    How dare you say "Mark Jackson's Burner" is an enemy of the Rockets?!

    I guess my general question would be what makes people think Cam is a future star? He has Harold Miner vibes (and I was someone who wanted them to draft him and not Horry). How wrong I was.

    Cam doesn’t have the make up of a star. Even as Kobe struggled early you could see it. Cam just isn't built like that. Maybe a Vinnie Johnson type

    I said earlier in the game thread that nothing will make me give up on Cam unless reports come out that he's a dick to Rockets staffers or players. If he ever pulls a KPJ and leaves the team halfway through a game, I will be absolutely instantly DONE with Cam.

    So hopefully he's less KPJ and more KJ Martin in terms of attitude! I don't think the new Rockets would put up with him if he were like KPJ, though.
