Rockets new move! After cutting Landale, the two-way contract quoted 2 marginal substitutes, and the insider is full of talents

June 27, according to reports, the Rockets will cut off their third center, Jock Langdale. Although 29-year-old Langdale can shoot three-pointers and defend, his contract with an annual salary of 8 million yuan makes the Rockets feel a little difficult. After all, the Rockets got Durant this summer, and the Rockets' Shin Kyung will start executing his new contract next season, and the average annual salary of this contract is above 30 million. In addition, the Rockets will need to renew their contracts with three new stars on the front line, Smith Jr., Ethan and Amen Thompson, so it is definitely good news to be able to free up more salary space.

Even the Rockets' main point guard Van Vreet took the initiative to cut his salary by 20 million. He just completed a two-year re-signation of 50 million yuan with the Rockets. Therefore, salary space is very important for the Rockets to compete for the championship. The Rockets should free up more salary space to renew players and sign new players, so it is not surprising that Langdale was cut. Fortunately, Langdale's contract is not guaranteed, and the Rockets will not lose anything if they lay him off. Although the Rockets have lost a substitute center, the Rockets actually have follow-up actions. In fact, everyone knows that the Rockets first used 39 million years to keep veteran Adams in the offseason, and then used 50 million years to keep Van Vritte yesterday. In addition to these two veterans, the Rockets left two substitutes with two two-way contracts today. According to reports, the Rockets have issued a two-way contract, leaving their substitute center Enfalley Dante last season, and substitute power forward David Rody.

David Roddy performed in a modest performance last season and didn't have many opportunities, while Dante was a highlight of the Rockets' two-way contract position. In the regular season, he averaged 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 block per game, and all of this data were completed in 14 minutes per game. So, Dante is very similar to Capela, the Rockets' "Big King" back then. It has strong ability to eat cakes, defend and protect the basket at the basket, and has good screening and pick-and-roll abilities. Dante's stay in the team should be a better choice. Next season, the Rockets should be their third center in addition to Shin Kyung and Adams.

Although David Roddy didn't have many opportunities to perform last season and joined halfway, this short and strong power forward can shoot three-pointers and hit the basket, which is why the Rockets are willing to keep him. Manager Stone quotes Dante and David Roddy on two two-way contracts, and the two players are currently restricted free agents.

Although a two-way contract doesn't seem to be a big deal for these NBA fringe players, being able to stay in the NBA and the Rockets proves that they still have a chance to stand out. Many players start from two-way contracts and end up getting a formal NBA contract. Just like the Rockets' current shooting guard Jennerson Williams, Roddy and Dante still have the hope to become players on the Rockets' two-way contract. Even next season they will have a chance to compete for playing time. After all, after losing Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, the Rockets need more people to enrich the rotation lineup.

It can be said that the Rockets are full of talents in the interior. Although they have lost Langdale, their inside lines include Smith Jr., Adams, Shinkin, Ethan, and David Roddy and Dante who have received a new contract offer. Uduka has more choices.
