Shams Charania: The Rockets worked with Whitmore, the No. 20 pick in 2023, and his reps at WME Basketball over the last few weeks on a new home. Whitmore has averaged 10.8 points over two years -- last season scoring 0.46 points per touch, 4th-best among players to record 1,000 touches.

Yossi Gozlan: Either way, I'd guess the Rockets trade Cam Whitmore and cut Jock Landale at a minimum. This allows them to fit Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela at their reported numbers under the $195.9 million first apron hard cap.

Yossi Gozlan: Clint Capela's three year, $21.5 million contract can start as low as $6.9 million. Cam Whitmore's $3.5 million, or Landale guaranteed at $3.3 million, works straight up for Capela at that number in a sign and trade. That could be the deal from Houston's perspective.

Kelly Iko: Rockets third-year wing Cam Whitmore has been the subject of a number of trade discussions in recent days, sources tell @TheAthletic. Situation is best described as fluid right now.

A handful of teams have inquired about the availability of sparingly-used wing Cam Whitmore, league and team sources said. Since being drafted with the No. 20 pick in 2023, Whitmore has struggled to entrench himself in Udoka’s tight rotation and at times has expressed his displeasure at the end of the bench, but there is still optimism about his potential and rotation spot — having shown strong periods of play over the last two seasons. At this stage, neither Whitmore nor his representation has requested a trade and both sides are hopeful of finding a solution.

Kendrick Perkins: Kevin Durant is going to end up in the Houston Rocket uniform. They have the pieces. If I'm the Rockets, I'm going all in. Jabari Smith, Jalen Green, Cam Whitmore, and some picks for Kevin Durant. And don't come give me Kevin Durant don't have it no more. The one thing Kevin Durant will do when he gets to Houston is respect Ime Udoka because we know they have a great relationship. You pair him alongside the Thompson twin with Sengun, Fred VanVleet, the Rockets looking to make some noise. That was the one thing that they were missing in this series was a closer and Kevin Durant provides that.
