Rockets refuse to match the offer! Officially join the Hawks! Dangte creates NBA history

On August 19, the Atlanta Hawks officially announced that the team officially signed 23-year-old center Enfalee Dant. According to the team's policy, the contract details are not yet announced!

According to NBA famous reporter Michael Scotto, the Atlanta Hawks provided Houston Rockets restricted two-way player Enfalley Dart with a two-year contract offer worth 4.5 million. Since the Rockets refused to match the offer, Enfalidate will officially join the Atlanta Hawks today, opening a new chapter in his career!

Of course, the Rockets gave up matching the Hawks' quotation and did it! Because they currently have three two-way contract players, Isaiah Crawford, JD Davidson and Kevin Harris, when the league stipulates that a team can only have three two-way contract players at the same time, the Rockets were forced to give up the matching offer, so they watched the Hawks take the potential center who is only 23 years old from Houston!

As the Rockets refused to match the 2-year 4.5 million offer, Enfalidant was able to officially join the Atlanta Hawks. In this way, Enfalidant also became the first two-way restricted free agent in NBA history to sign a formal contract invitation offer.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 2-year 4.5 million contract signed by Enfalidate and the Atlanta Hawks is quite epoch-making! Because it is not only the first official NBA contract signed by a two-way restricted free agent in the history of the league, it will also inspire those NBA marginal NBA people who pursue their dreams all the time. As long as you are willing to try to seize every opportunity, maybe one day you will be the next "Enfalidant" favored by the goddess of luck.

Last season, Enfali Dangte played four NBA regular season games for his old club Rockets, averaging 12.7 minutes per game, scoring 6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.3 interruptions and 1.3 blocks, shooting percentage of 76.9% and free throw percentage of 80%. It can be seen that Dangte is a very efficient and promising young center! In 31 games for the Rockets' Development League team Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Enfalidate averaged 29.1 minutes per game, with a comprehensive data of 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1 break and 2.1 caps, with a shooting percentage of up to 74.8%.

From a two-way contract player struggling on the edge of the NBA to signing a two-year formal contract worth $4.5 million, Enfalidant can be said to have completed a complete grassroots counterattack. In the new season, he will open the newest page of his career in the Atlanta Hawks!

Wishing Enfalidant all the best in the Atlanta Eagles! Come on, dream chaser!
