The Rockets exchange Whitmore for two rounds, and Pelinka failed to strengthen the forward line

According to NBA famous reporter Shams, the Rockets have sent team forward Whitmore to the Wizards in exchange for two second-round draft picks. The Lakers, who could have obtained this potential star after Smith's swap, were useless again, and the original opportunity to strengthen the front line was lost. Although Whitmore has only been with the Rockets for two seasons, his growth rate is really too slow. And he doesn't play team, and he is easy to get ahead if he likes singles. In this way, there will be almost no more playing time for the Rockets, and going to the Wizards is the next stop to fully realize their potential.

It can be seen that other teams in the league are not willing to give the Lakers a chance. Last season, there were already signs after Doncic came to the Lakers. The Nuggets can exchange Porter Jr. for Huang Zhong and Saric for Valentines. The Lakers have nothing to gain except for Laravia and Ayton.

The Lakers' goal now should be to win Horford, but the Warriors are also competing with the Lakers. If the Warriors can't compete, then the Lakers' fans will be quite disappointed if they don't advance or retreat this offseason.
