    It's crazy if we can't even give him until the deadline to make an impact / improvement. If we move him now, I'm assuming it will be for a 2nd or two, and it has to be because the relationship with him is completely burned.

    He better suit up for SL

    "In recent days" means the Rockets might've used him to get a low 1st or high 2nd. But now that the draft his over, there's really no way to trade just him due to how little his salary is, unless it's one of those things where one team trades their draft bust for another team's draft bust.

    I want to keep him for one more year with more opportunities to see what he's got. I think it's still to early to move him.

    I don't like this, don't want him traded. his value is too low right now anyway. he is on a friendly contract. just keep him around and play him

    I would prefer to keep Cam unless it’s for, say, a nice FRP next season when we don’t have one. Or for an upgrade. Not for a package of SRPs or something.

    I don’t think this is the right time to trade Cam.

    Can Trademore. Get the discussion going but actually trade him when his value has been raised.

    Stone, I know your floodgates are open now, but caution yourself.

    Can we package him with Jock's contract in a sign and trade for a player like Nickeil Alexander Walker? T-Wolves aren't keeping NAW.

    Him and Ime are just a bad match. The same thing happened in Boston . Fans used to scream for Pritchard to get minutes. Ime likes his players to play a certain way. And right now Cam is jsut too raw for him. We know Ime doesn’t develope players

    If he could net you a Quentin Grimes type player with minimal picks involved. I don't see why not.

    Let him dominate the summer league first to get that Los Angeles-style Mickey Mouse ring to build up his trade value.

    Yeah, “low iq Sone” has done such a terrible job making us into a contender with a young core and many future picks. What an idiot, am I right? He sold low on Jalen and only was able to get *checks notes* Kevin Durant.

    Lmao. Clown comment.

    The Rockets can give Cam Whitmore an opportunity, but Whitmore has to buy in to what Udoka and the coaching staff ask of him to take advantage of it.

    At some point, Whitmore has to look in the mirror and decide whether he just wants to be a chucker on a bad team and get his stats. Or, does he want to play defense, share the ball on offense, and help his team win games regardless of how much he scores night to night?
