First traded by the Rockets, then cut by the Hawks! A forward with a 4+2+1 average of a game is hit by a series of blows, may it be difficult to stay in the league?

Generally speaking, players who leave the Rockets always perform well when they go to a new team, which no longer needs to be proven. However, this law seems to be no longer valid. There is a player who has just been traded by the Rockets, but he was directly cut by his new owner. He is the former Rockets' two-way contract player and power forward David Roddy.

As a rookie player a few years ago, David Roddy's qualifications and physical fitness are still quite good, but he has never performed as he deserves. As a small forward, he is slow, has poor shooting ability, and does not have much ability to pass and control the ball. As a power forward, he is short in height, has poor rebounding ability, and average frame protection ability. The only way to score is to hit the basket, but when faced with strict precautions, it is difficult for David Roddy to score at the basket. This is also the reason why he changed multiple teams in a few years.

The Rockets gave David Rody, a free agent, a two-way contract last season, and David Rody played for a long time with the Rockets' Development League Vipers. It was not until the season was about to end and the remaining few irrelevant games that Uduka recruited two-way contract players such as David Roddy and McVeigh from the Development League, but even if he got some opportunities to play, David Roddy's performance did not have many highlights.

In Durant's deal, seven teams involved in this super deal. David Rody, a player from the Rockets, was not involved in this deal at all. At that time, the Rockets sent Dillon Brooks, Jaylen Green, and a 10-pick in the first round and 5 second-round draft picks to exchange for Durant. But this deal eventually developed into a big deal for the seven teams, Capela was included, and David Roddy became one of the players sent by the Rockets. Dillon and Jaylen Green were both sent to the Phoenix Suns, while David Rody was treated as the top spot in the trade and sent directly to the Atlanta Hawks by the Rockets.

You should know that the Hawks accepted David Rody last season. At that time, David Rody was the substitute for the Hawks, but there were not many opportunities. David Rody played for the Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets last season, but he has not had much chance of performing. David Roddy played for the Hawks last season. He averaged 4.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game in 12.8 minutes, and his shooting percentage was only 47.3%, which is obviously quite average for an inside player.

Although David Rody has been directly traded by the Rockets to the Hawks, the Hawks don't want to keep him and directly cut him. In other words, the young David Roddy has once again become a free agent and can sign contracts with other teams, but judging from his performance and experience last season, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a position among NBA teams. Maybe I will bid farewell to the alliance and have the opportunity to develop overseas. In fact, based on David Roddy's personal ability and physical fitness, if he can play in a low-level overseas league, David Roddy will obviously have the ability to become a star player in that league. I don’t know whether David Roddy wants to continue looking for opportunities in the NBA or become a star in the overseas league.
