    Wow, Cam’s stock was obviously much lower than the fans thought. No doubt management tried to trade him and even bundle him in other packages but to no avail. Also shows what the rest of the league thought of Cam that only the Wizards had to pony up two second round picks to get him.

    He absolutely won’t blow up there, he’s not a winning player.

    I’m willing to wager a 6 month CF ban that he won’t make an all star team in the next two season. I’m even willing to wager he won’t be a 15 ppg player in that time span.

    I knew there was a high likelihood that Cam was going to get traded, but maybe keep him if all you can get back is 2 second round picks?

    Cam will be able to play some me first ball with the Wizards. Great for his next contract

    Awful, just awful. Losing him probably doesn't impact us much this year while we have KD but Cam is going to be really good. The 2 picks are pretty much worthless. Just bad overall and a big mistake.

    Does he go to third string behind CJ and Tre Johnson? Or does he play SF?

    2 Second rounders? That's it?? We must've been trying to do right by him because we def could've gotten more than that from another team. That's a poor return for a 20 year-old freak athlete with a lot of untapped potential. Lame.

    Guess Shams was right! So much for just being rumors with no substance! :D

    This bad outcome is 99% on Whitmore's lap. Horrible body language lead by a immature individual, but very talented player.

    I would like to know what the 2nds are. I hope one of them is at least in the 30s type. Otherwise this is truly a salary dump

    My guess is they think the Wizards are going to suck for a while so they might be high 2nd rounders.

    Let's just do cash to the tip jar....so everyone gets a benefit, and Clutch gets to help cover server costs here for all the lazy assed freeloaders.

    My understanding is that this was more of a request from Cam's camp that the Rockets were obliging because of lack of playing time but the front office actually thought highly of him.

    Seems like they could have just kept him for this small haul. But, I think Stone is really trying to play ball with the agents so the Rockets don't have the bad rep they had amongst players under Morey.

    Does this get them under the LT? Assuming there's no salary coming back?

    Good for him. Not a great return, but at least its over and the team can just go focus on building and not have to worry about distractions. And st least it wasnt in the West or to the Lakers.

    For all those ragging on me I said he would be traded in 24 hours for two seconds. Eat that Clutch City naysayers against me. I am talking to you Hemingway!!!

    Don't get all excited when he averages 20ppg next year or the year after. The Wizards are the perfect team for Cam-ball. Still doesn't mean he should be a starter on a winning team.

    Loook It.

    He wasnt going to play here. The trade was inevitable. At least Cam will have a great opportunity to bust Asses in the East and take the Wizz ers to the playoffs!

    Book it.
