Four-team NBA trade moves Cam Whitmore, ends Julian Reese's deal

Reese was waived from his two-way contract

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 201 min read

What happened: An AP source said Julian Reese was routed through the transaction before being waived. The package for Cam Whitmore included a 2027 second-round pick and cash.

Why it matters: Whitmore's smaller salary creates added flexibility under the first apron for his new roster. Reese returns to the offseason market while his former two-way slot opens.

By the numbers: Whitmore is 22; Reese is 23.

What to watch: Watch for Whitmore's role and Reese's next contract before 2026-27 training camps open.
