Cam Whitmore traded to Wizards for 2 2nd round picks

what have you heard regarding adding a dynamic penetrating guard to the bench who can create off the dribble? is it even a concern or maybe they’ll try midseason?

 

Right after the Rockets made the KD deal I was told that the Rockets wanted another wing and also a guard to create. However, I have heard nothing linking the Rockets to any particulat player since then. If you look at the market, it is possible that the Rockets can get someone to fill that role for close to the minimum, they just may not be ideal.

 

Bring back the Championship!

 

Next time Stone appears, he is all bones and eyes.



Rafael has again lost weight, but whenever he lost weight, he has done something.

 

we got a lot of redundancy at the end of the bench now with tate & green. and holiday can get hot scoring occasionally but can’t run a team so i don’t even consider him backup PG insurance. capela provides a more mobile lob threat version of adams but still doesn’t allow us to play 5 out. and that guy jeenathan is just horrible. seems like a lot of cap space invested in guys who don’t really answer our roster needs

 

Cam Whitmore will ride off in the sunset like Thomas Robinson & Terrence Williams.

 

Tate, Unc and Holiday play in our version of Stallone's The Expendables.

 

It may playout this way - but this is the way that they have decided to proceed in 2025-2026. We are likely going to see a conservative team that will limit turnovers and second chance points for the opposition.

How will it workout? Likely depends on the health of KD - and I think there is a better than 50% chance one of Amen or Reed takes another step forward, and they are creators.

 

so then my followup question would be in light of our at times comatose stagnant offense last season have you heard if they’re considering bolstering the assistant crew with a guy to help udoka with that?

 

Stone is full of crap.....not a development team, so we are trading Reed, Amen, Tari and Jabari?

I never watch his press conferences because he never says anything meaningful or truthful.

What is he going to say if Cam is starting and scoring 20+ ppg?

Of course not, Stone was trying to be polite about Whitmore.

The reality is that Cam didn't want to be a Rocket, and the Rockets did not think he would ever be a winning player.

FWIW the rest of the league agrees with Stone, as the offers for Whitmore were low.

Yes - Stone lies, most GM's do - but Stone will say anything that ultimately has his employer look like the good guy.

There is a real chance that Cam scores 20+ points a night next season, but that isn't the measure of winning in the current NBA. Cam Thomas drops 25 a night and is really struggling to find anyone to pay him.

 

Not a dang thing since we will be on our way to the wcf at minimum.

 

If....IF .....KD holds up....if not.....nope.

A lot of people overrate Cam. Suns didn't even want him and opted for 2 more 2nds

 

Yeah they are a well run org, good point.

Would you like for Stone to say: "We are not in the business of developing players who put themselves first over the team."

 

At least 8-9 months away, ring me up then.

 

You are so high on Cam makes me like this trade even more if I'm being honest

 

"Wake me up when he actually leads an organization to wins."

 

Ime just led us to the number 2 seed and we have posters here questioning his judgement lol. Give me a break. Cam is a low BBIQ black hole on offense and plays crappy defense.
