2 for 1! The Rockets new deal is released: the battle is given out, and the draft pick is exchanged! The two teams can be called a win-win situation

I have to say that the Houston Rockets have really gained a lot in recent times. They not only exchanged Jaylen Green, Dillon and draft picks for superstars like Durant, but also signed ace wings like Finney Smith from the Lakers. In addition, the Rockets also renewed their contracts with veterans such as Van Vreett, Adams, Jeff Green, and Tate, and won center Capela by signing first and then changing. As a result, the Rockets' inside and outside lines have become extremely powerful. But the Rockets now have too many players and need to continue to streamline the lineup.

The Rockets cut off their two-way contract forward McVeigh and decided to cut off their center Landale. Although the Rockets have signed several marginal players, it is obvious that the team players are finally gathering in the front line and should continue to clean up. The latest news on July 6 showed that the Rockets sent out another striker, 21-year-old Cam Whitmore.

Whitmore, known as the "White Devil", can contribute 10 points per game in two seasons for the Rockets. Although he has good scoring ability, young enough, and has extremely huge potential, the Rockets really have no way to keep him. On the one hand, Whitmore is not convinced of discipline and often fights with Uduka; on the other hand, Whitmore is not the kind of team player that the Rockets need to be able to defend. Although he has strong offensive ability, he often acts recklessly on the court and does not implement tactics at all, so it is normal for the Rockets to send Whitmore out.

In fact, there was news a week ago that the Rockets wanted to send Whitmore away. Now the Rockets traded Whitmore to the Wizards, and used him for two future second-round draft picks. The 2-for-1 deal allowed the Wizards to get a first-class young scorer. Although the Wizards are in poor overall condition and have a worrying strength, if Whitmore gives him the chance to swing and let go of the action in the Eastern Conference, he may not be able to draw very gorgeous data. The Wizards got a great and powerful forward with great potential, while the Rockets took a big trouble. After all, Whitmore has become a thorn player in the team. Although he has a certain strength, he will affect the unity within the Rockets and the atmosphere in the locker room. After sending him away, the Rockets also received two future second-round picks. Judging from the Rockets' characteristics of picking up bargains in the draft, the two future second-round draft picks can still play a huge role. For example, it is possible to help the Rockets pick two useful new players, or to be directly used as bargaining chips and trade them again. Whitmore can be regarded as fighting power, after all, he can fight when he comes and score points as soon as he comes on the court, which is very popular with some weak teams.

And the Rockets send Whitmore, which will free up more playing time for forward players such as Finney Smith and Ethan next season. Even the Rockets' basic salary forward Tate is expected to play more opportunities next season than before. The Wizards got a future star worth developing, while the Rockets took the big trouble and won two second-round draft picks. It can be said that in this deal, the Rockets and Wizards are a win-win result, at least on paper, it is indeed the case.
