2 for 1! The deal was finally reached! Another super star of the Rockets left the team

4:15pm, 6 July 2025【Basketball】

The Rockets traded Cam Whitmore to the Wizards for two second round picks.

It is worth mentioning that on the eve of the transaction, Rockets media revealed that Whitmore had a dispute with Uduka. Although he was offended by his own players, Uduka, as the head coach, was quite generous. I hope the former can turn this into motivation...

Whitmore, only 20 years old, the 20th pick in the first round of 23rd, with a wing of 2.01 meters tall. In two seasons of Rockets' career, he averaged 17.4 minutes per game in the regular season, and he can contribute 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in three events. His shooting percentage is 44.9%, 35.7% and 70.7%. His physical talent is over, but he may not be very good at playing team basketball.

And when it comes to the Wizards who are in the reconstruction stage, it is obviously a great thing for Whitmore. When you arrive at the new club, you can do whatever you want and give your talents to your heart's content. Maybe you will no longer have to play for more than ten minutes per game. This year's playoffs are still averaging only a pitiful 1.7 minutes of playing time.

In short, the Rockets traded Whitmore to the Wizards as a win-win result. One can better advance towards a great goal in the new season after no unstable factors, and the other needs its own team more.

The Wizards are now well equipped, with veterans including CJ McCollum, Middleton and Smart, etc., while young players include 24th No. 2 pick Saar, Johnson, the first round No. 6 pick this year, and Whitmore, who has joined the latest, etc., using old leadership to help the team achieve relatively stable development.

It is reported that the Wizards have also recently joined the Kumingga battle.

famous reporter Siegel said: The Wizards held the first round picks from the Paul trade, the Warriors won the first 20th pick in 2030.

In the summer of 23, the Warriors got Paul for the Wizards, and gave Poole + Rollins + Baldwin + 27th second round pick + 30 years first round pick.

It seems that the Wizards are also planning to play the team building routine of accumulating potential stocks, focusing on future development, and it is best to pray that the lottery draw will be better in the future. This year's draft has a probability of up to 14% of the No. 1 pick, but in the end, they missed the top three picks and only won the 6th pick. What do the

Danzu and others think about this? The comment area is opening up crazily!
