    I don't understand this obsession with him. If you watch him you see he's a severely limited player. He comes in and puts up points in garbage time and people lose their minds. They act like Ime benching him is some personal vendetta.

    Even with those dunks, his FG% isn’t that impressive.

    Unless Fred, DFS or Capela are taking a lot less, you’re gonna have to trade someone important like Reed or Tari.

    I want to see Kevin Durant Mentor and Play Pickup against Cam Whitmore and all the Younger Players on the Rockets.

    The Younger Players can change their mindset. There always a chance that can happen.

    I hope Cam stays but for some odd reason I also hope we get Beal for vet min after the Suns waive him.

    Highly unlikely Beal signs for the min because he’ll have to give back a significant chunk of money if he wants to be waived. The Suns only have a certain amount of money they can use to waive and stretch contracts and it’s less than Beals salary. They are already stretching and waiving two other players. So Beal will likely want to make at least some of that money back in the contract he signs with his next team. The rockets unfortunately are capped out if we want to stay below the 1st apron…even if we trade Cam for picks. It’s unfortunate because I think Beal would be a great add; still a very good player.

    Not if you know what you are looking for in a younger player, then you see a ton of untapped potential.

    Who else on this team busts it like made to pressure the other team and score the ball? No one, since Luis Scola - Cam is a lot better than many can see, because they are not looking at what translates as he gets older.

    I guess I didn’t successfully navigate the hypothetical through.

    The Rockets could trade Sengun, Reed Sheppard, or Amen for Ayo. Other than that, the Rockets don't have a salary big enough to trade for Ayo and can't aggregate smaller contracts as the need for minimum contracts would break hard cap.
