Rockets exchange 1 for 2 to send the White Demon to the Wizards, both sides take the needs, and the Warriors become the direct victim of the transaction

According to the report of famous reporter Shams, the Rockets and the Wizards reached a deal. Sending Cam Whitmore to the Wizards for two second rounds. Follow-up team reporter Kelly Iko followed up with reports that the Rockets got one of the two second rounds of the Bulls' draft picks in 2026 and the other was the Kings' draft pick in 2029. After pulling for a week, the White Demon still left the team.

According to the news, after learning that the Rockets signed Dorian Anfini Smith, the White Devil contacted the broker team WME Basketball to seek a deal. The Rockets have been hesitating whether to trade the White Demon. The Rockets certainly hope to keep the White Demon in their potential value. He is the player with the best hard-solving ability in the Rockets' internal front line so far besides Durant. After two years of training, he has indeed seen the potential of his main attacker.

However, after the Rockets made many reinforcements, the team's salary has been much higher than before. They have indeed considered dealing with the White Demon (3.5 million). The Wizards can choose whether to match the White Demon's fourth-year contract (5.4 million) in the 26-27 season before October 31. At present, the Wizards are basically 100% sure to match the Wizards' contract. Even the Wizards have released news that they intend to rebuild the offensive core around the White Demon (after all, Poole has been sent away).

The trading rumors surrounding the White Demon have not stopped in recent weeks. The Rockets have considered choosing to deal with Nate Williams (2.27 million), leaving the White Demon, but its transaction value is too low. The Rockets had received many different trading plans, but considering the future development of the White Demon, the Rockets took the initiative to send him to the Wizards with relatively low reconstruction. This wave is what everyone needs, and Stone has done a good thing.

Rockets have always attached great importance to the White Demon. Uduka and the White Demon have also been rumored to have a lot of quarrels over development issues. The former requires Bai Mo to pay attention to team priority. After watching the game content, I know that the White Devil's ability to work alone is indeed full. He scored 10.8 points in 98 games in his career without averaging less than 18 minutes of playing time. And he averaged 25 points per game in three starts in the season.

But most of the time, his extremely amazing offensive choices made Rockets fans crazy. When the main players rested, he often had good data and even had good offensive efficiency (the real shooting rate exceeded 70%), but the team often lost badly. The more problems of the White Demon are the defensive enthusiasm and the overall team. After the White Demon was sent away, it is basically expected that the Rockets would not initiate any major deals before August. After all, in any Rockets' current potential transaction, the White Demon was originally one of the bargaining chips.

With the Rockets trading in Durant, the team has officially launched an attack on the championship. There is no need to leave too many potential stocks in the team, only Shepard is the only one left. On the other hand, for Shepard, next season is also very important. After the White Devil was sent away, the team's bench was almost all blue-collar players, all of them were "Udu card-style" players. Shepard will be one of the few X factors on the team. If he can play, the Rockets' hope of winning the championship will increase greatly.

If I really want to say who is the most unhappy in this transaction, I think it will be Kuming. Previously, the Warriors' Slater reported that the Wizards have become a powerful suitor for Cuminga in recent days, but they have now turned to a deal with the Rockets, which also means that the Wizards may withdraw from the Cuminga battle, and the Warriors' potential reinforcement and trades in the offseason may all fail.
