The situation becomes complicated, the media updates the latest trends of the White Demon, participates in big deals and may become Doncic s substitute

At present, the Rockets have basically completed their reinforcement work during the offseason, and at most they will be some minor repairs and minor repairs. However, there is one thing that is still open, that is, what will the team do to Whitmore, the 20th pick in the first round of the 23rd.

Whitmore had previously expressed to the team that he wanted to play time and let the team focus on cultivating their own will. But the Rockets' forward line is saturated, and there is still Shepard, the Tanhua in the backcourt. Whitmore is not optimistic about the team. Compared to training him, Whitmore, who has 7 million US dollars in two years and can score 12.8 points per game in less than 20 minutes of playing time, may be more valuable to the Rockets as a trading resource. According to a reporter from the Houston Chronicle Rockets, the team is seriously considering using Whitmore for a future draft pick.

However, this situation has changed again today. In a TV show today, Shams said that the Rockets and the Suns are actively operating Durant's transaction content, hoping to promote a big deal between seven teams. Because at that time, Durant's transaction was just an agreement. The two teams need to wait until July 7, when Jaylen Green's three-year, $100 million contract begins to be executed before the two sides can officially sign the contract.

So before that, the two teams still have time to get more teams into the trade in order to get more teams the resources they want. However, there is no need to worry very much. Even if this multi-party big deal is not agreed, the Rockets and Suns' deal will still be normal, and the chips are still Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in 2025 and 5 second rounds. After all, the Suns had already chosen MaluAchi with the 10th pick, and Fleming also operated in 5 second rounds. It is absolutely impossible to "return" at this time.

And just recently, reporter Anthony F. Irwin reported that according to the news he received, Whitmore's name had contact with the Los Angeles Lakers. Previously, the Rockets used the full middle class to sign Finney Smith, and now this signing may become a sign-in exchange. Whitmore will become part of the deal to join the Lakers. As compensation, the Lakers will give the Rockets a future first-round draft pick.

and Irwin added at the end of the report that Whitmore is currently very eager to find a role in teams other than the Rockets. At the same time, he expressed the same idea when communicating with the Rockets. Last season, Whitmore played 51 regular season games for the Rockets. After being abandoned for a long time in the middle of the season, he still had 9.1 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game. It has to be said that the 20-year-old Whitmore is still full of potential.

And in the 2023 draft, the Lakers expressed their love for Whitmore at that time. At that time, the White Devils' predictions were in the top 10 in the first round, while the Lakers had only one draft pick with the 17th pick in the first round. But when Whitmore really dropped to the 17th pick, no one chose to choose, they believed the rumors that Whit occasionally had major knee injuries and had problems with his personality, and finally chose point guard Ciffino.

, and Shifino's first season with the Lakers was too "sighted". The rookie represented the Lakers in 21 regular season games, averaging 5.2 minutes of playing time, and averaging only 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. The shooting percentage is 22.2% and the three-point shooting percentage is 13.3%. Such a "magic weapon" of the Lakers naturally cannot be easily used. They only had two chances to perform in the second season, and were then traded to the Jazz.

However, now the Lakers have the opportunity to get Whitmore again. It can be foreseen that when Doncic comes out, Whitmore can lead the bench and increase the team's firepower on the offensive end. As for whether Whitmore can become the main force or starter in the future, all this depends on the team's training for him. But before that, July 7 will be the deadline for whether they can get Whitmore. Do you think the Lakers can get Whitmore? Welcome to like, follow, and leave a message to discuss!
