2 SRPs for Cam

Think Rockets did pretty well in the end.

So,no other team was willing to give a 1st or 2 2nds and a prospect for Whitmore? That's odd...

[Devilanche]

That’s a good deal. Especially if Houston didn’t see an increased role for whitmore in their rotation.

Why is that odd? What has he proven other than being two years older from a draft he fell in due to obvious and major medical concerns?

He’s also extension eligible next season. I personally think Houston won this trade.

[MotownMadness]

Nice project for a rebuilding team at that price

[HornetJail]

these are the kinds of swings every rebuilding team should be trying to take imo. Cheap enough that you don't care if he doesn't pan out

[dcstanley]

Good deal for both sides. Interested to see how Whitmore looks with real minutes.

I guess it makes sense moneywise,but as a prospect with his skills/age I thought more teams would take a bet on him.It's not like he is a bust or anything.Dude can play.

About what I expected, he was a grumpy boy, unfortunate how it ended up

[tmorgan]

He’s taking the minutes and role Ace Bailey wanted from the Wizards.

Whitmore’a nickname should be De-mini-Marcus. Or mini-Boogie. Or Bermuda Triangle.

[tmorgan]

I think Mathurin, Whitmore and Kuminga should form a Big 3 team. The naming and endorsement possibilities are endless.

And if someone gets hurt, they can bring in Ace Bailey off the bench.

[GatherStepGuru]

Love it as a Washington fan. We had 2nds to spare, and he’s the right type of guy to take a swing on.

I’m loving all of Washington’s and Dawkins moves so far

[K_chile22]

Figured this was the return ever since this odd interview after he has been getting burh lately

2026 Chicago and 2029 Kings so both pretty solid seconds

It says Rockets worked with his people. There may have been plenty of teams who couldn’t give him the role he wanted.

[Xman]

Great deal for Whitmore going home. Supposedly rockets took less to send him to a good landing spot where he could prove himself.
Washington might have a bargain.

[Kiss of Death]

This opens up a roster spot and Houston could use a guard.
Vet minimum because they’re hard capped at the first apron.

Melton, Brogdon, Payton II, etc…

Or just stay at 14 players for flexibility.

Go, wizards!!!

He’s not a positive player. I don’t see a team eating a first on him just bc he is young
