    Crazy how Jalen and Cam were pretty healthy during their time here and suddenly become extremely injury prone the moment the Rockets deal them away.

    I think this was expected. The Wizards also are probably going to take their sweet time with Trae Young, and I wouldn't be surprised if Trae is pretty much done for the season, too.

    That team needs to focus on losing games. This is one hell of a draft class coming up. :D

    Wasn't there rumor about Cam's health pre-draft? That was supposed to be one of the reasons he dropped so low, that and bad interview performance.

    What's up with all the blood clots lately? I'm going to go eat some aspirin.

    Blood clot reports only exceeded by calf soreness. Then there's Jalen Green's hamstring that seems like they're still looking for a replacement via donor or still trying to grow a new one in the lab.

    I wonder if they extend him, I mean at the 20th pick it would be fairly inexpensive.

    Seems like it would be a pretty good strategy for a team like that, but he was already in their doghouse before the diagnosis, I believe. I think he’s going to have to take his talents overseas.

    Yeah, but that was more cartilage related knee issues and more a longer term thing the medicals showed than veins and blood clots..

    They had worries he couldn't get up and dunk but he did so fine, this is a whole different beast.

    They didn't extend him, that's his rookie contract, they did pick up the option.

    Suns winning games, about to get Jalen back and in for a real treat. They don't really have a guy who fumbles his dribble far too often and can't shoot or make layups, but still takes enough shots to score 20.....

    I'll say it, THIS current Rockets team, all health being good

    Could actually use a Cam Whitmore shooting & scoring punch off the bench.. Maybe even as far as testing him in the revolving 5th starter spot

    Cam is not a winning player. But for all Cam's warts, he wasn't a losing player either with Rockets. Just find of filler. But filler with experience in the system.

    Josh Okogie is the actually same level non-passer as Cam. Its that Cam will take 10 more shots to each assist than Okogie lol. Though Okogie isn't a "distributor". But who on this current Rockets team is even a legit threat to get GUARDED as an outside threat?
    .
    (This might be more an indictment on Rockets, than it is Cam credit. Just a thought) Oh well now. Get well Cam
