Whitmore made a big mistake when he first entered the league, and asking to be traded to the Wizards was even worse.

Whittemore was selected by the Rockets with the 20th overall pick in the first round in 2023, and Houston is his home team. In just one season, the White Devils requested a trade, and the next team also designated the Wizards, who have been "rotten for thousands of years". This is really adding mistake to mistake.

In this league, loyalty is a noble virtue worthy of respect. The representative figures are Kobe and Nowitzki. There are also many stars who frequently change teams and are criticized. The representative figures are James and Durant. Of course, the two of them are stars, with great status and influence in the league. Even if there are short-term criticisms, they will disappear with their success.

Whittemore just entered the league. It is really unwise to rushly request a trade before he has made a name for himself or gained any influence.

This season, the Wizards have struggled to win, ranking last in the league with 1 win and 12 losses. What is even more embarrassing is that they have lost 11 games in a row. Losing is simply numbing. Whittemore has not received the attention and status he dreamed of in Washington, and it is not even as good as when he was with the Rockets.

Looking at the Rockets taking off, Whitmore is paying the price for his reckless behavior.
