    The implied value of Cam Whitmore around the league: 5 second round picks

    I would have taken on Lonzo ngl

    Dang, if true, they wanted second round picks over Whitmore. I knew his trade value was not likely a FRP, but jeez. Although, PHX did turn those 2nd rounders into Fleming and I would prefer Fleming on our team over Cam.

    This was peculiar to the Suns team situation because of the sheer number of SGs on their roster

    IF

    I hate the offseason - wake me up in October, and we will judge the team then.

    Coby White would be perfect if he's willing to play off the bench.

    Yeah, Trent would be a very nice pickup, relative to everything that's available. He had some really nice seasons with Toronto and played well with FVV. Obviously Durant provides elite scoring, but Trent would fill in somewhat of what Green provided, has quick defensive hands, can get hot and put up 20+ points and on occasion 30+ points, can shoot the three, doesn't seem afraid of the moment. He wouldn't start on our team, but could start if needed.

    I would imagine it's a league-wide thing, but hey you only need one team interested enough in his potential to overvalue him

    I would love Coby White but it would be a one year rental unless we extend him and I'm not sure he would be willing to play off the bench especially in a contract year. Ayo Dosunmu and/or Kevin Huerter may be more realistic.

    Yeah, I am in Fchow territory - I believe in Cam - we will just have to see what happens.

    I can't think of anyone from either of those teams that I would want on the Rockets.

    Rockets may just want to dump him for second rounders at this point so they can duck the tax.

    LOL - dump a cheap asset - come on - can we keep things real....one......

    Can you imagine that he blows up, and we dumped him, wasn't it bad enough watching Hartenstein get a ring? We shouldn't be DUMPING talent.

    We should be nurturing it and COACHING IT UP !!

    If Ime can't coach players up, then what good is he?

    I understand Cam on the trading block if it’s part of a pkg for another star player. I do not understand trading Cam “just to get off him” or “to replace Dillon Brooks”.

    Probably a leak from the Suns to not look bad. You absolutely get Cam in that deal over a bunch of scratch off tickets. I'm sure the Rockets told the Suns it's either Cam or the #10. They probably preferred the #10. They probably flip flopped and told someone that the deal was Dillon/Cam/Jalen and they ran with it which is why some news sites mentioned that as part of the trade.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Booker vetoed picking up Whitmore.

    Thing is if there some really bad vibes going on when he on the court, it dont matter how much talent he got. Im assuming
    he might not like it here and wants to be a #2 option somewhere where he starts??

    He not getting the playing time here, unless they start making more time for him

    Maybe the bulls would trade Hueter for Whitmore, Landale, and Holiday.

    We need shooters?

    We could then sign Trent jr, backup 1.

    Would make this team really really better imo.

    Kevin Huerter sucks. Would rather keep Cam and his attitude.

    Bad Vibes, good coaches help guys get over that, bad ones, just push them out.....Kobe had bad vibes at 19-20 too.
