Cam Whitmore was frustrated with his role in Houston, despite the Rockets periodically meeting with him about it, per @KellyIko and @JoshuaBRobbins
Head coach Ime Udoka challenged Whitmore publicly and privately to adopt a more team-first approach on both ends of the floor 😳

Classy move from Houston 👏

“The Houston Rockets, they're still lite on ball handling...Dame would be a great fit in Houston.” - @hoopstonite on the best fits for Damian Lillard
There’s no reason to sign Lillard with Reed Sheppard set to step into a bigger role next season 🙅♂️

4th of July aside, the most patriotic I’ve ever felt was watching Kevin Durant torch Serbia in the Olympics off the bench 🇺🇸 🔥

Even in Year 17, Kevin Durant was still one of the best fadeaway shooters in the NBA 🎯
KD attempted 174 fade away jumpers, the second-most in the NBA, and was one of only two players in the top 10 with an EFG% over 50
ELITE longevity 🔥

Cam Whitmore has been linked to the Lakers in a potential sign-and-trade for Dorian Finney-Smith, per @AnthonyIrwinLA
Whitmore is reportedly looking for a larger role than what he’d have on the Rockets, and he could find that with the Purple and Gold

BREAKING: The Rockets and Suns are working to expand the Kevin Durant trade into a deal that would involve a league-record seven teams, per @FredKatz

With Houston’s current projected salary, they’re still under the first apron
If Jock Landale is waived, the Rockets will free up even more money
That means if Houston trades Cam Whitmore, they’ll still be under unless they take on a lot of salary

Alperen Sengun’s three-ball is looking clean 🔥
Sengun only shot 23% from deep last season but upped it to 37% in the playoffs, a development that could help bring his game to another level

Houston is expected to waive Jock Landale before his July 7 guarantee date and could also trade Cam Whitmore in exchange for non-player assets, per @danielle_lerner
Getting “non-player assets” for Whitmore would be extremely disappointing, so hopefully that’s not the goal

“They have no real wings on this team and there is one point guard they trust.” - @johnhollinger about the current roster construction of the Houston Rockets
The season hasn’t even started yet and people are already disrespecting the Rockets for extra views
Sad to see 😕
