    Can we now include Malcolm Brogdon or De’Anthony Melton in the mega trade?

    Tough deal.

    I would have waited for a 1st or kept him.

    What an awful trade. We should've kept him for that return. Hes worth atleast a top 20 pick

    Agreed. Can’t believe they couldn’t get more. I don’t like it, but it says what they thought of him imo.

    Pretty much expected. Teams knew Ime hated him and wanted him gone no matter what do they weren't ever going to offer much for him.

    Shouldn't effect the team much.

    Terrible asset management and disappointed that our coach can't handle strong willed players.

    He will blow up there and we will regret getting so little back.

    If our 37 year old star player is out in a year or two and we don't have an efficient scoring leader - we will miss him.

    2 second round picks - ugh.....good luck Cam - go get that bag, and show Ime that he needs to be able to manage strong willed competitors too.

    Not sure how to feel about this. Crappy return but he clearly didn’t want to be here anymore so it is what it is.

    Me too, but I’m thinking they want the cap space under the 1st apron for something else down the line. Sh*t return.

    This is proof Cam was in odds with Udoka...well, we will have an extra spot for a buyout candidate. Maybe, we'll pick up Bradley Beal or another shooting guard.
    Good for Cam though - hope the best for him!

    I like the return. Basically traded kd for 3 seconds. Plus whitmore is unproven. We were never going to get a first.

    I’m disappointed. I was hoping it would work out with the Rockets. No one knows more about Cam and his strengths and weaknesses than the Rockets. We’ll see how this pans out. Guess there wasn’t a big demand around the league.

    Despite his attitude issues and poor body language- Stone still did him a solid by sending him to a team where he will have an opportunity to chuck as many shots as he wants and he’s close to home.

    Just glad that we sent him to Washington for that price and not the Lakers
