Cam Whitmore traded to Wizards for 2 2nd round picks

Who is on the Rockets "if this guy pans out" into "he just needed the right coaching/situation/we gave up on him too early/lets get him back" Hall of Fame?

Cam Whitmore
Christian Wood
Kevin Porter Jr
Jalen Green
Vassilis Spanoulis
Donatas Motejiunas
Royce White
AJ Griffin
Usman Garuba

 

don’t forget Thomas Robinson.

 

Eddie Griffin

 

No one is rooting against Cam… what a sad argument to make.

He’s just not worth it for the Rockets.

 

I kept trying to remember that #3 Kings or Blazers guy and couldnt for the life of me remember who it was. There was also an early 00s player that slips my memory.

 

There it is! God damn I couldnt remember him.

 

Eddie Griffin, man the org failed him - drafted a 19 year old without a plan in helping him develop. Just not smart at all, dude committed suicide on the train tracks.

Poor guy.

extremely sad. So much talent. I was so excited when we moved up to get that guy. As it turns out, standing pat and drafting Richard Jefferson (like the spurs did) would have been the better move.

we need to stay away from New Jersey guys. The track record is poor.

 

Gotta throw "Squid" T Will and Josh Christopher. lol
Hell, my boy Stevie Franchise and Cat think we gave up on them too early too.
Von Wafer too why not. lol

 

I know. This was criminal stupidity on the part of the Rockets' organization.
Something should have clicked that the kid was sliding for a reason.
He was absolutely lost on the floor. In interviews, you could just see, the lights were dimmed. I don't say it to be mean. He just wasn't cut out for the bright lights and he had no guidance.

 

Eddie Griffin was in my yahoo fantasy teams in early 2000s, such a talented athlete, still remember reading how he committed suicide by parking on railroad tracks, such a tragedy. He could have been a star, I do not think it was the organization's fault per se, he must have had psychological issues, but man, I was upset the couldn't fulfill his potential.

 

Terrence Williams

 

No, I never liked that guy - he was just not all that bright.....most of the players I like are high BBall IQ guys.....but some of them are troubled.

I'm not sure the org knew the extent of his alcohol problem. They might have, but they might also have just noted the results of it, like spotty work habits, bad practices, tardiness... who knows? If I recall, he didn't get popped for drunk driving until he was in Minny.

Still a tragedy, but I don't know how much blame the Rockets get for it.

 

Patrick Patterson, Stromile Swift, Terrence Williams, Ben McLemore

 

What motivates players is PT and Money! I think Cam tried to conform here but Ime has certain criterias; defense, defense and defense.

I'll never forget the last time Cam played serious minutes, it was against the Thunder in OKC. A game in which both him and Reed started and played well. And I think we all thought they were going to get serious minutes after that game but they were both put back at the end of the bench. And every since then, Cam's faith was sealed.

Cam has STAR TALENT but he needs to be with a coach who can meet him where he's at. A coach who is able to deal with multiple personalities.....AND I DON'T THINK THATS IME.

 

idiot

 

AI didn’t have a history of unprofessionalism or reckless behavior. He spoke his mind on a couple things but in no way was he problematic or a bad teammate.
