Whitmore with the thorn attribute is the Rockets Kumingga! It was cleaned up at a low price!

The free agent market has gradually entered a dull period, but it has completed a relatively interesting operation. The Rockets dealt with rookie Whitmore at the price of two second rounds and traded him to the Washington Wizards.

The Rockets previously postponed Jock Lauderle's contract guarantee day to July 8, probably because they wanted to see if they could be replaced with Whitmore with a puzzle player. When Lauderle is laid off, it is basically certain that the Rockets have given up their trading plan. Sure enough, Whitmore was traded to the Wizards within two days.

In fact, Whitmore and the Warriors' Kumingga belong to the same type of players, they are rude players who are greedy for ball rights and data. Whitmore was expected to be selected in the top five at that draft, but his rankings were declining. Although there are injuries, the fundamental reason is that the way of playing is too cancerous and it is difficult to integrate into the team.

In the two years with the Rockets, Rockets head coach Uduka has advised Whitmore more than once, hoping that he will not only focus on the ball and data, but will give priority to serving the team and make victory the first goal.

As a result, Whitmore didn't take it seriously at all. He just held the ball and played less and less time until he was DNP. After being DNP, Whitmore did not reflect on his own problems, but instead made various troubles on the bench and showed his face to the head coach. After finally getting playing time, Whitmore didn't want to prove himself again and gain the trust of the head coach, but instead played badly on the court.

Speaking of this, is it exactly the same as Kumingga? It can be said that Whitmore is just the number one Kumingga. Let’s see how the Rockets’ management does it. From the boss Fertitta, they support head coach Uduka 100%. No one is allowed to interfere with Uduka’s deployment. Seeing that Whitmore had not changed after repeated advice, he cleared him out of this offseason and sold him to the Wizards at a low price.

Let's see how the Warriors do it again. The boss Lakob took Kumingga as a treasure and repeatedly indulged Kumingga in contradicting head coach Cole, and there was no punishment measure. It's not worth it to be a substitute for Cole. He has a four-time coach and has no say in the Warriors' selection of players.

The conclusion is at the end, and the thorny players like Kumingga and Whitmore will never be played.
