Report: James Harden Expected To Re-Sign With Clippers, Russell Westbrook Won’t Be Back

The Houston Rockets know a little about great play from the center position.
Once the home of the Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon, the Rockets have signed former Oregon Ducks center N’Faly Dante to a two-way deal after he went undrafted this week.
The “two-way” deal means Dante will most likely be going back and forth from the Rockets to the Grande Valley Vipers of the G-League throughout the season. After the 2024 season, the NBA plans to disband the minor league and it’s unknown what the plans are after that.
As for Dante, unfortunately, he went undrafted after his appeal for a sixth season at Oregon was denied by the NCAA. He was looking for an extra year after battling numerous injuries that cost him time and games as a Duck.
In what turned out to be his final season in Eugene, Dante averaged 17 points and 6.4 rebounds while playing in 22 games for the Ducks.
