The media discusses the White Demon deal: He just doesn t want to play team basketball, and the Rockets never regret giving up the players

On July 6, according to famous reporter Shams, the Rockets have agreed to trade forward Cam Whitmore to the Wizards for two second round picks (the Bulls’ second round pick in 2026 and the Kings’ second round pick in 2029). The deal has caused heated discussion, and several Rockets media people expressed their views. "It's a pity to consider Whitmore's potential, but given the Rockets' potential, this deal is the best choice for his future. The Wizards have received a very talented player." "The NBA has made it clear twice that they're not as high as some fans. He fell all the way on a draft night two years ago. To the 20th pick; and this summer, when he was put on the shelves, the Rockets could only exchange him for two second round picks. Whitmore may still grow into a very outstanding NBA player, but the Rockets have always had unique vision in evaluating their own players. They decisively gave up Joe Christopher, Garuba, Taitty Washington and KJ Martin, and never regretted it afterwards. "

"This is a team that can win 52 games. We just traded Durant and aimed at the championship. The kind of "give young players playing time even if it affects the team's record." The approach was already in the past as early as the time of the coaching of Silas. If you want to play for the Rockets, you have to be content with your own position. It's that simple."

"Whitmore could not have a day to stand out in Houston. The Rockets are determined to win the championship. If you want to gain a foothold in this team, you must be willing to play team basketball, accept and integrate your role, but Whitmore just doesn't want to do this. For a player who doesn't want to integrate into the system, no matter how hard the coach works, it is useless. It is indeed a matter of using two second-round picks to exchange him. It's a bit of a loss, but I think this also justified the league's evaluation of him."

"As for the Wizards, I am actually very optimistic about the significance of this deal to them. They are promoting reconstruction in the right way through trades and drafts, and this deal is undoubtedly another wonderful move. The Wizards currently do not aim to win as their primary goal, so Whitmore will have plenty of opportunities and time to solve their own problems. "
