Goodbye Houston! The Rockets 6th man was born, unexpectedly involved in the 7-team super deal, joining the Hawks

On July 7, today the super deals involving players such as the Rockets, Suns, etc. involving Durant and other players have been officially completed. The big deal has become the largest deal in NBA history, surpassing last season's deal about Klay Thompson.

Now, the Rockets finally got their long-awaited superstar Kevin Durant. Although the Rockets gave the No. 10 pick, 5 future second-round picks, as well as the two starters, Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, and even gave their two-way contract power forward David Roddy, it was all worth it. In fact, this transaction had initial prospects half a month ago, but it was not officially announced at that time. Now that the trading market has officially opened, the transaction has been announced to be completed.

In fact, in everyone's impression, the Rockets poached Durant from the Suns and signed Capela first and then exchanged into the deal. The Rockets not only gave out the above chips and got Durant and Capela, but in addition to that, there was actually another player who was also involved in this deal, and was also involved in this deal very unexpectedly. He is the Rockets' two-way contract power forward David Roddy.

As a forward swinger, David Roddy didn't have many chances to play for the Rockets last season, and he didn't get some chances to play until the end of the regular season of the Rockets. And among the Rockets, he was transferred to the Development League Vipers for a long time. Last season, David Rody played 33 times for the Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Rockets, averaging 12.4 minutes per game, contributing 4.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 45.6%. Although he is a first-round pick, David Roddy's personal abilities are relatively average, so it is not a pity for the Rockets to send him away in this deal. Before

, the Rockets offered David Roddy a qualification offer for a two-way contract, and David Roddy also accepted the offer, but in this transaction, he was sent back to the Atlanta Hawks, who he played for last season, which was helpless. After all, the Rockets are overcrowded and there is no chance to play for David Roddy. He was sent to the Hawks. As a forward and inside player, David Roddy seems to have more opportunities, right?

In this way, according to statistics, David Roddy also became the sixth man to leave the Rockets during the offseason this summer. In addition to Dillon and Jaylen Green, the Rockets also traded their forward Whitmore, cut center Landae, and cut scorer McVay. After David Roddy was traded, he also became the sixth man to leave the Rockets in the offseason. In this way, the Rockets have freed up a two-way contract player quota to continue signing new players to use.

David Roddy said goodbye to Houston, but he actually had a chance. After all, he is not very old and is only 24 years old. He will get more opportunities to go to the Hawks, a mid-level team in the league, than to the Rockets. I believe that if I have the strength, David Roddy can get the opportunity to play to prove himself.
