THE Bulls And Nuggets are among the teams that have recorded a certain level of interest Rocket Before Whitmore camAccording to Michael Scotto of Hoopshype.
Kelly Iko of athletics reported last week that Houston had been engaged in commercial discussions involving Whitmore. It will earn $ 3.54 million in 2025/26 with a team option for ’26 / 27 worth $ 5.46 million.
Whitmore, who will be 21 years old next Tuesday, has experienced limited playing time during her first two NBA seasons and was unable to settle as a regular part of the crowded rotation of the Rockets. The old overall choice n ° 20 appeared in 51 games last season, with an average of 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.2 minutes per night with shooting numbers .444 / .355 / .750. It was completely out of the rotation in the playoffs, making only three brief appearances.
According to Scotto, Whitmore was almost sent from Houston to Phoenix in the Kevin during trade, but the Sun Opted for additional second round remuneration instead.
Bulls seem to keep an eye on an attacker who can score, having also been linked to limited limited warriors Jonathan Kuminga Earlier this offseason. While Isaac I – which is more a defensive specialist – does not really correspond to this bill, it should be noted that Scotto says that the interest of the Bulls for Whitmore preceded their agreement to acquire Okoro, it is therefore not clear if Chicago’s interest in an attacker – and Whitmore specifically – persists.
Nuggets, on the other hand, seek to complete a talented starting formation with reliable depth options. Although their upgrade routes via professions or free agencies are limited, Whitmore’s salary is modest enough for it to be a realistic target.
