The Rockets are really kind, and it only takes two rounds to trade the White Devil to the Wizards. US media is optimistic that he will explode in the new season

On July 6, the Rockets and Wizards reached a 2-for-1 deal, and the Rockets sent Whitmore to only exchange for two second rounds. This is something that many teams find strange, the highly potential sports forward Whitmore, who has only changed back to two second rounds. It is understood that the Rockets are very kind. When many teams quote Whitmore, the Rockets would rather give Whitmore less benefits and give Whitmore the chance to become the leader of the team, so that he can get more ball rights and display his offensive talent. After the introduction of Durant and Finney Smith, the Rockets meant that Whitmore's chances of playing would be reduced, which made him and his team feel dangerous. Whitmore and his team also found a new owner for Whitmore in time, and also asked the Rockets to give up on him and let him go. After the Rockets and Whitmore communicated, they could not stay Whitmore until they could not stay and sent him to a team with more playing time. The Wizards are the best choice, and the team is young and in the reconstruction stage.

Wizards can also be considered as picking up unfinished lottery tickets, but at least it is profitable, because it is really cheap to get Whitmore in two second rounds. In the past two seasons, although Whitmore has limited playing time and is averaging only 17.4 minutes per game, he still contributed 10.8 points and 3.4 rebounds, shooting 44.9% from the field and 35.7% from three-point shooting percentage. In addition, Whitmore won the Summer League MVP, which is enough to prove that his talent has not been fully realized.

Many media also believe that Whitmore should be let go is not a matter of his ability, but a matter of the Rockets' tactics and the positioning of the head coach. Now that the Rockets let Whitmore go, they also get back two second rounds to reduce conflicts. Whitmore has also gone to where he wants to go, which is a win-win situation.
