Nuggets/Rockets....Whitmore on the move

[youngthegiant]

Denver trades: 2031 1st rd pick (unprotected), Dario Saric

Houston Trades: Cam Whitmore

Why: Denver gets a young controlled asset for two more years who could potentially replace MPJ when his contract is up. Rockets get an unprotected 1st they can use to go big fish hunting.

I want to say no, but I think he might get put up for auction at some point since we have a good rotation at this point, and then it would just be highest bidder.

My gut feeling is if Whitmore gets traded somewhere, it will be as part of a larger package to get a star, and not for a draft pick.

What's more valuable to, say a team like the Suns if we come knocking on the door for Book. Whitmore in the package or a Denver unprotected first in the package?

Yeah if there's a bigger deal in place where team X wants the pick over Whitmore then yeah, cool, otherwise unless the Rockets are down on him (I think hes just in a squeeze rn that will eventually sort itself out) don't think they sell for a pick but thats really good value for him

If Denver is trading a first round pick it'll probably be for a backup big man, not another wing.

[nomansland]

Denver needs to think very carefully before trading any more picks.

Agree with you guys they aren't looking to do that, but man if you get an unprotected 1st 7 years from now with a team whose entire success is Jokic, I think I'd have to take it.
