Only 3 points per game! The Rockets abandoned the player at the age of 26 and turned to the Lakers. Ethan sent his blessings and stayed with the team with the goal

In the offseason, the Rockets not only introduced star players like Durant and Capela, but also cut or traded some players they thought were useless. For example, they sent Whitmore to the Wizards for two second-round picks and cut players like center Landail and shooting guard Nate Williams. You should know that these two players will also hold the Rockets' official contract next season, but since the Rockets need to focus on training Shepard and Capela's arrival, players like Nate Williams and Langdale were directly abandoned by the Rockets.

Now Landae has signed a one-year minimum salary contract with the Grizzlies. You should know that several inside players of the Grizzlies have been injured one after another in recent times. Landae will obviously play an important role in the inside when the Grizzlies start the new season. Nate Williams has also recently found a new job. According to the Lakers, the team has officially signed the Rockets' abandoned player - 26-year-old shooting guard Nate Williams. At the same time, the Lakers also signed forward Anton Watson. Although these two players are not famous players, they are still very helpful in strengthening the Lakers' outside strength.

Rockets forward Tari Ethan has a good relationship with Williams. After learning that Williams signed with the Lakers, he took the initiative to encourage Nate Williams and directly named Nate on his social media and sent his blessings. Although Nate Williams performed very mediocrely among the Rockets, he might get more opportunities when changing teams.

What the Lakers lack is the outside shooter. Williams can hold the ball, complete the outside shooting, and have good mid-range shooting ability. However, among the Rockets, there were too many defenders last season, such as Van Vreet, Jaylen Green, Shepard, Holiday and Amen Thompson. Indeed, Nate Williams did not have much chance of performing. At that time, he was transferred to the Vipers in the Development League for a long time.

Nate Williams signed a two-way contract at the beginning of last season, and then was transferred to a formal contract by the Rockets due to their good performance. However, this summer, the Rockets gave up on him directly due to their poor performance in the summer league. As the 2022 undraft, Nate Williams has played for the Rockets for two years, making 42 appearances, and averaged 7.4 minutes per game in 20 games last season, and averaged 3.3 points, 0.5 assists and 0.7 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of only 43.5%. However, Williams still has certain potential. As the Lakers' substitute guard, he still has the opportunity to stay in the team.

When the new season training camp and preseason are coming, for Nate Williams, what he needs to do is to use his performance to make the Lakers pay attention to themselves in training camp and preseason, and give him a new contract so that he can stay in the team and play in the next season. Otherwise, Nate Williams may still play in the Development League next season, after all, he doesn't seem to have many opportunities in the NBA.

In the Development League, he can be summoned by NBA teams at any time. Some teams that need shooting guards seem to sign Nate Williams. After all, he was able to occasionally enter the rotation lineup in the Houston Rockets, the second in the West, last season, which also shows that Nate Williams still has some advantages. I also hope that this Rockets' old player can stay in the Lakers.
