Rockets Trade Away Former First-Round Pick Cam Whitmore
- On Saturday, the Houston Rockets reached an agreement to send Cam Whitmore to Washington, with the trade awaiting approval from the NBA.
- The Rockets pursued the trade because Whitmore saw limited playing time over two seasons despite averaging 10.8 points, and multiple trade offers existed.
- Whitmore, a 6-foot-7 small forward from Maryland and the 20th overall pick in the 2023 draft, will join a rebuilding Washington team that posted an 18-64 record last season.
- The Rockets will receive two second-round draft picks, and the trade cannot be finalized until the league's offseason moratorium lifts Sunday at noon EDT.
- Whitmore's move back home to Washington offers him a chance for increased playing time and contributes to the Wizards' ongoing youth-focused roster rebuild.
