Although I have my issues with his blackhole playstyle, trading him to the Lakers would be the dumbest fing sh%t we could do. Dude is still a cheap 20yrs old scoring tank with a high ceiling, if Ime is as good of a coach as we think he is, he should be able to coach some of his bad tendenceies out of him. Not send him to the Lakers to play with Fing Luka and LeBron????
Yeah, I would probably play this out until the trade deadline. I think it’s likely his value would go up. And even if he struggles or acts out holiday and Jeff Green would specifically be effective in the early part of the season helping us to grind out wins. I think that if we’re going to see a big leap from Whitmore it will be pretty apparent 30 or 40 games. Give him plenty of runway shots and minutes.
Cam did get some minutes and then got sent down to the G-league to learn how to play team ball. Actually, I'm advocating to keep Cam and let him compete against Jabari for the last starting spot...
I could have sworn I heard some rumblings about us being interested in KD...possibly for a package involving Jalen Green. I guess we'll have to wait and see how that plays out.
cam should have more value than a role player on an expiring contract. We should just keep him if we can’t do better than that.
You maybe right. But I also have little faith in a player without much feel and with plenty of attitudes. Historically this type of player almost never pops after change of scenery. (I challenge one to name one such example) There is risk of his value going further to the dump. Ideally it’d be a future first rounder. Perhaps I’m in the minority. But I’d be fine with DFS with maybe one / two future seconds at this point. Sign Jerome / NAW with non tax MLE and we have a very solid squad.
I can live with DFS with a couple decent 2nd rounders but there should be some sort of extra sweetener if we are sending him to the Lakers. I don’t really want Cam there.
