The transfer market continues to advance as the NBA offseason deepens. This early morning, a new trade has been confirmed, this time between the Houston Rockets and the Washington Wizards.

The Rockets have been one of the most active teams this week, striving to build a team that can contend for the championship next season with Kevin Durant as the star, alongside Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson. In this scenario, they did not need the young Cam Whitmore.

The Texas franchise has sent the promising player to the Wizards without much in return. Washington, in exchange, trades two second-round picks from the Draft.

So far, the Rockets' moves this summer have included: the trade for Kevin Durant, signings of Clint Capela and Dorian Finney-Smith in free agency, and extensions for Fred VanVleet, Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday, and Jae'Sean Tate.
