Rockets refuse to give 4.5 million for 2 years! The 23-year-old center officially joins the Hawks: assisting Trae Yang Chong s playoffs

On August 19, it was reported that the Rockets refused to match $4.5 million for two years. 2.08 center Dangte officially joined the Hawks, becoming a member of the Hawks' 15+3 roster, assisting Trae Yang in the playoffs.

According to famous reporter Michael Scotto, the Rockets refused to match the quotation of $4.5 million for two years. The Rockets previously offered a two-way qualification offer to Dangte, but the current three two-way contract places in the lineup are full, namely Isaiah Crawford, JD Davidson and Kevin Harris. The Rockets refused to match the offer, so Dangte will officially join the Hawks. The Hawks then officially announced the signing of Dangte and posted posters to welcome Dangte to Atlanta; Dangte became the first player in NBA history to sign a formal contract as a two-way restricted free agent.

Last season, Dangte, 23, played only 4 games for the Rockets, averaging 6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in 12.8 minutes; in the Development League, Dangte averaged 15.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals, with a shooting percentage of 74.3%. After the Hawks signed Ding Te, the team's 15+3 lineup was released -

15 regular contract players: Trae Young, Porzingis, Jaylen Johnson, Alexander Walker, Okonggu, Rissach, Kennard, Daniels, Buffkin, Newell, Gillishic, Clayis, Guye, Rant, Caleb Hustan, 3 two-way contract players: Jacob Topin, Gitton Wallace, Ndiaye

The new season, Trae Young, who has the highest annual salary in the team, will lead this lineup to the playoffs.
