Rockets announced: Cut off center Landail & Whitmore will participate in Durant trade and send it to the Lakers

On July 4, the NBA Rockets team reporter revealed that the team has officially waived center player Landale. The contract guarantee date negotiated by both sides was postponed to July 8. The Rockets must make a decision before, otherwise his salary of $8 million next season will be converted into a full guarantee contract. With Landale's cuts, the Rockets also saved $8 million in salary space. He will resume his free self-reliance and enter the offseason trading market after spending the 48-hour clarification period, and can join the team he likes.

29-year-old Langdale plays as a center position. He plays for the NBA Rockets in the 2024-2025 season. He plays in a total of 42 games in the regular season, averages 11.9 minutes per game, scores 4.8 points + 3.3 rebounds + 0.9 assists + 0.3 steals + 0.2 blocks, shooting percentage of 53.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 42.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 67.0%. With the Rockets renewing their contract with center Adams in this offseason and signing former player Capela again, Landal completely lost his position in the team.

In addition, it is reported that young forward Whitmore will be sent to the Lakers when he was involved in the Suns' trade with the Rockets. According to the exposure of the US media, the Durant transaction has not been completely completed, and seven teams have been involved in the transaction. Let us continue to track the subsequent detailed reports.
