    Carmelo was great though, if that is the player Cam has always been there is value in that, now maybe not with Houston, but across the league.

    They need to find out if he is Kobe Bryant, or Terrance Williams or somewhere in between.

    There is no hurry they have him locked up for 3 more years - but you don't want a sulking guy on your bench, it could be as simple as trading Brooks to open PT...dunno, but at some point they will need to decide.

    Agree with both points. However, I don’t think there’s a future with Jalen and Cam. Either both get shipped for star or they decide to keep JG and include Cam in a trade package.

    yikes. Trade a player who has been a big part of our success this year to open up time for Cam would be Stone's worst move in his time here imo.

    Sorry bro, that’s just not true in a good, functional organization that builds its people up. True leaders are there to help their subordinates.

    There are absolutely bad organizations and broken people out there. But if you look at the good organizations that win consistently, they have great internal culture and practices.

    Think about outcasts who bounced around sports and suddenly found their ‘fit’ and were amazing. It’s because of culture and leadership where they landed.

    See, I do, as Cam is a prototypical SF, Jalen is a SG, and if Reed develops you have him at PG, with Amen, Jabari, Tari and Sengun......

    That works.....we move FVV and Brooks on, and hit go.

    Didn't say right away....or even this year....

    Jalen does the same thing all the time. Just randomly dribbles off his foot. Or gets pressure loses ball out of bounds.

    my answer to this is Jabari. With his length he can just get off a shot without dribbling we need to utilize him more.

    there's a reason why cam was in ime's dog house, man doesn't play for the team. Gets into a btch fit when he's not getting more mins when we are winning.

    We do not need a diva on our team, if he can't control his feeling and emotions and play for the team, he's not gonna get more mins.

    Acting like u don't have opinions on who u want off the team. I dont want a player ruining team chemistry when we are winning.

    I value Fred and Dillon so freaking much.

    Number 2 and 3 on this team in +- for good reason. Discard at your own peril! Don’t return to the KPJ days! Value the culture setters!

    Under no circumstances should Cam Whitmore be traded. Dude is a baller and just wants to ball out, I don't give a **** about his attitude, he wants to play and is showing why he should be playing more. Trading him would be completely boneheaded. I'm sure Ime loves the passion

    I think Jimmy Butler not happy in Miami or Zion not in playing shape are more serious problems than 'Cam has an attitude problem'.

    He's young, and wants to prove himself. He wants to prove that he belongs in this league.

    Don't judge him yet. Give him the same three years Jalen Green got.

    Do you know his family? Do you know his dad? Are you projecting personal issues on him? I don't know. You are insinuating a lot about his personality. I will apologize if you tell me you have had sessions with this young man or his family and are professionally qualified to make such a jump of faith on what his personality problems are. He might not even have a problem at all other than being a 20 year old in the spotlight. Again, I don't know. How do you? You are actually saying Cam needs counselling. Again, if you know him personally I'm sorry. If you are making these assumptions based on his demeanor on the basketball court or after an interview that was taken out of context that just ain't right, regardless of your background.

    I don't like seeing his pouts when the camera pans across the otherwise cheerful bench after a big dunk or shot. Need Cammy out there cheering on his teammates even if he's having a tough go of it with his minutes. Fight through heartache and try to have good vibes please.
