    I just think it sorta comes with the territory once they traded for a 37-year-old All-Star. Context. But yes, they basically swapped Cam’s higher long-term ceiling for the stability of Dorian’s higher near-term floor. Fair to question, I get it

    Cam doesn’t have great handles. He is a straight ahead bull headed driver. No real moves. I don’t like the trade unless they needed the move for another back-up proven vet.

    I bet you he is going to be traded to the team like Washington for like 1 or 2 2nd round picks

    Bad move! Cam is too talented to let go for two 2nds.

    The two second rounders they got for Cam together is probably about the value of a crappy protected first (if you squint hard)

    We are in the luxury tax zone for 2025-26 season.

    I could of understood this trade if Cam came to training camp without working hard over the summer. They really just gave up on him. So who is going to fill the void if KD gets injured? Rockets have nobody now. At least Cam was a little bit of insurance. Disappointing trade.

    I really wish Cam the best on his new team, I hope he can find the freedom to grow without such a tight leash. Go gettem Cam.

    Sadly he wasn't worth that anywhere except the minds of CF's haha.
