Wizards Acquire Cam Whitmore from Rockets in Multi-Player NBA Trade
The Washington Wizards have acquired Cam Whitmore from the Houston Rockets in exchange for two second-round draft picks as part of a broader offseason strategy to rebuild with young, versatile players. Whitmore, a Maryland native and former Villanova standout, struggled to secure significant playing time with the Rockets but is expected to have a larger role in Washington, where the team has been active in accumulating young talent and cap space for future moves. The trade is connected to a larger multi-team deal involving the Wizards sending Jordan Poole and Saddiq Bey to the New Orleans Pelicans and acquiring CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk. While Whitmore faces competition for playing time amid a crowded roster of young prospects and veterans, the move signals the Wizards' commitment to developing potential talent. Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have acquired Jay Huff from the Memphis Grizzlies to fill a need at center after Myles Turner’s departure. Whitmore's departure from Houston was accelerated by the arrival of Kevin Durant, pushing the Rockets toward a win-now mode that deprioritized player development, making the trade beneficial for Whitmore's growth prospects in Washington.
