David Roddy Signs With Raptors On Exhibit 10 Deal

July 10th, 2025 at 5:57pm CST by Earnest Marshall

Free agent forward David Roddy has been signed to the Raptors‘ training camp roster, the team announced via release. Roddy’s agreement is an Exhibit 10 deal, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports (via Twitter).

Roddy was most recently part of the NBA record seven-team trade involving Kevin Durant, having been flipped on his two-way deal from Houston to Atlanta. He was subsequently waived by the Hawks.

Roddy, 24, was the 23rd overall pick by the Grizzlies in the 2022 draft. He was part of Memphis’ rotation in his first year-and-a-half in the NBA, averaging 7.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 20.1 minutes per game across 118 games (17 starts). However, midway through his sophomore season, he was traded from Memphis to Phoenix.

He didn’t break into the rotation in Phoenix and has since bounced around teams on 10-day and two-way contracts.

The Raptors now have 20 players under contract and have reportedly reached agreements to add Tyson Degenhart and Clifford Omoruyi on Exhibit 10 contracts. However, it’s possible those deals will be completed later in the offseason or during training camp, so there’s no immediate roster crunch in Toronto.

The Raptors do have 16 players on standard contracts (not counting Roddy), but two of those salaries aren’t fully guaranteed (Colin Castleton and A.J. Lawson), so one of those players is the most obvious cut candidate down the line. That doesn’t need to happen until closer to the regular season.

Roddy’s Exhibit 10 contract is non-guaranteed and could be converted to a two-way deal before the season. If he is waived, he would be in line for a bonus worth up to $85K if he spends at least 60 days with the Raptors 905, Toronto’s G League affiliate.

Hawks Waive David Roddy

July 7th, 2025 at 4:44pm CST by Luke Adams

The Hawks have requested waivers on David Roddy, the team announced today in a press release. Roddy, who was on a two-way contract, was sent from Houston to Atlanta in the record-setting seven-team Kevin Durant trade on Sunday.

The 23rd overall pick in the 2022 draft, Roddy has bounced around the league since making his NBA debut, appearing in a total of 168 regular season games for Memphis, Phoenix, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Houston. The burly 6’4″ forward holds career averages of 6.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game, with a .421/.302/.679 shooting line.

Roddy’s two-way contract was partially guaranteed for $85,300, so he’ll receive a small payout and will become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday, assuming he clears waivers.

While that $85,300 doesn’t count against Atlanta’s cap, it’s probably not a coincidence that that’s the exact amount of cash the Rockets sent to the Hawks in the Durant blockbuster.

The Hawks now have just Eli Ndiaye on a two-way contract, with undrafted rookie Lamont Butler rumored to be filling one of the two remaining openings. The team also has two-way qualifying offers on the table for Jacob Toppin and Keaton Wallace.

This is the second time in 2025 that the Hawks have waived Roddy. They also did so in February to make room for incoming players at the trade deadline.

Seven-Team Kevin Durant Trade Officially Finalized

July 6th, 2025 at 2:10pm CST by Luke Adams

The seven-team trade that sends star forward Kevin Durant and free agent big man Clint Capela (via sign-and-trade) to Houston is now official, according to press releases from several teams, including the Rockets.

“Having played against Kevin and coached him before, I know he’s the type of competitor who fits with what we’ve been building here in Houston,” head coach Ime Udoka said in a statement. “His skill level, love of basketball, and dedication to his craft have made him one of the most respected players of his generation, and my staff and I are excited to work with him.”

The move sets a new NBA record for most teams involved in a single trade. The terms of the deal are as follows:

Rockets acquire:
- Kevin Durant (from Suns)
- Clint Capela (sign-and-trade; from Hawks)
Suns acquire:
- Jalen Green (from Rockets)
- Dillon Brooks (from Rockets)
- Daeqwon Plowden (from Hawks)
- The draft rights to Khaman Maluach (No. 10 pick; from Rockets)
- The draft rights to Rasheer Fleming (No. 31 pick; from Timberwolves)
- The draft rights to Koby Brea (No. 41 pick; from Warriors)
- Either the Thunder’s, Mavericks’, or Sixers’ 2026 second-round pick (whichever is second-most favorable; from Rockets)
Lakers acquire:
- The draft rights to Adou Thiero (No. 36 pick; from Nets)
Warriors acquire:
- The draft rights to Alex Toohey (No. 52 pick; from Suns) and the draft rights to Jahmai Mashack (No. 59 pick; from Rockets)
  - Note: Mashack’s rights will be sent to the Grizzlies in a subsequent trade.
Timberwolves acquire:
- The draft rights to Rocco Zikarsky (No. 45 pick; from Lakers)
- Either the Warriors’ or Nuggets’ 2026 second-round pick (whichever is least favorable; from Suns)
- Either the Suns’ or Rockets’ 2032 second-round pick (whichever is most favorable; from Suns/Rockets)
  - Note: The Suns, not the Rockets, retain the least favorable of the two picks.
- Cash (from Lakers).
  - Note: $3.25MM, per ESPN’s Bobby Marks (Twitter link).
Nets acquire:
- Either the Clippers’ 2026 second-round pick or the most favorable of the Celtics’, Pacers’, and Heat’s 2026 second-round picks (whichever is least favorable; from Rockets)
- The Celtics’ 2030 second-round pick (from Rockets)
Hawks acquire:
- David Roddy (from Rockets)
- The right to swap their own 2031 second-round pick for the Rockets’ 2031 second-round pick (56-60 protected; from Rockets)
- Cash (from Rockets)
  - Note: $85,300, per Marks (Twitter link).

Word first broke on Wednesday that the Durant trade was being expanded to be completed as a seven-team deal. For the most part, it was just a matter of folding separate draft-night trade agreements into a single transaction.

In addition to the original Durant blockbuster (story), this transaction incorporates trade agreements between the Suns and Nets (story), Suns and Warriors (story), Suns and Timberwolves (story), and Lakers and Timberwolves (story), as well as the sign-and-trade deal sending Capela from the Hawks to the Rockets (story).

The only two new additions to this deal are Plowden and Roddy, who are both entering the second year of two-way contracts. The addition of Plowden ensures that the Hawks are “touching” a second team besides Houston in the deal. He’s being waived by the Suns, reports Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic (Twitter link).

In exchange for sending out Plowden, the Hawks are filling that newly opened two-way slot with Roddy, a former first-round pick who spent more than half of the 2024/25 season in Atlanta on a standard contract.

Attaching the Capela sign-and-trade deal into this transaction has cap-related benefits for the Rockets, who would otherwise have had to send out a separate matching salary in order to sign Capela to his reported three-year, $21MM deal.

However, for the most part, amalgamating all those draft-night deals is just about streamlining the process for several teams, allowing them to take part in (or wait out) fewer trade calls and get their newly acquired rookies under contract sooner.

Southwest Notes: Durant, Finney-Smith, Roddy, Shammgod, Pelicans

July 5th, 2025 at 9:46pm CST by Arthur Hill

Trading for Kevin Durant and adding Dorian Finney-Smith in free agency should solve the outside shooting woes that have bogged down the Rockets‘ offense, writes Kelly Iko of The Athletic. He notes that Houston went just 5-of-17 from beyond the arc in a Game 7 loss to Golden State while averaging just 78.0 points per 100 half-court plays. Management believed the team had become too reliant on scoring off the offensive glass and needed to find a way to stretch opposing defenses.

Durant, who remains one of the league’s top shooters at age 36, should go a long way toward fixing the problem. Iko notes that Phoenix managed to be a top-10 half-court team last season, which is largely due to Durant’s brilliance. He should provide the lion’s share of Houston’s offense, with elite athletes surrounding him to keep opposing defenses honest.

Finney-Smith posted two huge games against the Rockets in March and April, Iko adds, going a combined 12-of-20 from three-point range. Iko cites statistics from Cleaning the Glass showing that Finney-Smith’s on-off numbers were +10.8 during his time with Brooklyn last season and +9.3 with Los Angeles. Iko expects the Rockets to see fewer zones with Durant and Finney-Smith on hand to counter them.

There’s more from the Southwest Division:

Rockets two-way player David Roddy appears to be headed to the Hawks as compensation for Clint Capela when a seven-team deal becomes official on Sunday, according to Danielle Lerner of The Houston Chronicle (Twitter link). Roddy began last season with Atlanta before being waived at the trade deadline.
God Shammgod talked to Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News about his decision to leave the Mavericks‘ coaching staff and join his friend Jamahl Mosley with the Magic. Shammgod is among four assistants Dallas is losing this offseason. He has been with the organization since 2016 and said he never expected to make such a move a month ago. “I’ve been very fortunate, being under a great coach like Rick Carlisle, and then going to another good coach like (Jason Kidd) and being a part of one of the best organizations in the world,” Shammgod said. “And Mark Cuban, you know, probably one of the greatest owners in sports — but, to me, an even better person. There will always be a love relationship for me here in Dallas. I just appreciate everything Dallas did for me, as a coach and as a person.”
New Pelicans head of basketball operations Joe Dumars is taking a huge chance that the young roster he has assembled can be a playoff contender, observes William Guillory of The Athletic. If it doesn’t work out, Guillory believes Dumars will be facing a full rebuild that could include trading Zion Williamson and firing coach Willie Green.

Contract Details: Two-Ways, Springer, Champagnie, Miller, Spencer, More

March 7th, 2025 at 4:27pm CST by Luke Adams

A flurry of two-way signings occurred prior to Tuesday’s deadline and many of those players who received two-way contracts in the week leading up to March 4 agreed to two-year deals.

Hoops Rumors has confirmed that Patrick Baldwin and Seth Lundy of the Clippers, Pete Nance and Jamaree Bouyea of the Bucks, Lester Quinones of the Pelicans, David Roddy of the Rockets, Miles Norris of the Celtics, and Jared Rhoden of the Raptors all signed two-year, two-way contracts.

As our tracker shows, that means that 25 of the 90 players signed to two-way contracts have deals that will carry over to the 2025/26 league year. It’s common for many of the players on two-year, two-way pacts to be waived during the offseason if teams decide there’s an undrafted rookie or Summer League standout they’d rather add, but those two-year terms give clubs the option of retaining their two-way players for another year.

Here are a few more details on recently signed contracts around the league:

The Jazz used $634,437 of their room exception to sign guard Jaden Springer, who got a three-year contract that includes a non-guaranteed salary for 2025/26 and a team option for ’26/27. Springer will receive a $400K partial guarantee on next season’s salary if he remains under contract through July 25. That partial guarantee will increase to $600K if he makes the opening night roster in the fall.
Teams that used a portion of their mid-level exceptions to promote two-way players to multiyear standard deals include the Wizards with Justin Champagnie ($1,800,000), the Clippers with Jordan Miller ($1,005,000), and the Rockets with Jeenathan Williams ($515,881). All three players got four-year contracts that don’t include guaranteed money beyond this season, though Miller’s deal includes some trigger dates — he’ll get a partial guarantee of $350K for 2025/26 if he’s still under contract beyond July 15 and half of his $2,191,897 salary will become guaranteed if he isn’t waived before the start of the ’25/26 regular season.
Pat Spencer of the Warriors, Orlando Robinson of the Raptors, and Ryan Rollins of the Bucks all received straight conversions of their two-way contracts to standard deals, so they’ll each still be eligible for restricted free agency this offseason.
Dominick Barlow‘s new two-year contract with the Hawks is a minimum-salary deal that includes a team option for 2025/26.

David Roddy Signs Two-Way Deal With Rockets

March 4th, 2025 at 11:39am CST by Dana Gauruder

March 4: The Rockets have officially signed Roddy to a two-way contract, per NBA.com’s transaction log.

March 3: David Roddy has agreed on a two-way contract with the Rockets, ESPN’s Shams Charania tweets.

Houston opened up a two-way spot by promoting Jeenathan Williams to a standard four-year, $8.2MM contract over the weekend.

Roddy didn’t last long as a free agent after he was waived by the Sixers on Saturday. Roddy signed a two-way deal with Philadelphia last month after a 10-day contract with the Sixers expired. He played three games with Philadelphia, averaging 6.0 points in 9.7 minutes per contest.

Roddy began the season with Atlanta, but was placed on waivers so the Hawks could complete a two-for-one deal with the Clippers at the trade deadline. Before being released, he appeared in 27 games, averaging 4.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.8 minutes per night.

The Sixers selected Roddy with the 23rd pick in 2022, but traded him to Memphis on draft night. He was sent to Phoenix in a three-team deal at the 2024 deadline and then shipped to Atlanta in an offseason trade.

Roddy, who turns 24 later this month, has averaged 6.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 17 minutes per game during his 165-game NBA career.

He’ll add depth to a frontcourt that’s been a little banged up recently. A handful of forwards and centers are listed as questionable for Monday’s game against Oklahoma City.

Sixers Sign Jalen Hood-Schifino To Two-Way Deal, Cut David Roddy

March 1st, 2025 at 1:21pm CST by Luke Adams

March 1: The Sixers have officially signed Hood-Schifino to a two-way contract and waived Roddy, the team announced today in a press release.

February 28: Free agent guard Jalen Hood-Schifino has agreed to sign a two-way contract with the Sixers, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).

Hood-Schifino was included in the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis blockbuster earlier this month, having been sent from the Lakers to the Jazz in that deal for salary purposes. He was subsequently waived by Utah after the trade deadline passed.

Still only 21 years old, Hood-Schifino was selected No. 17 overall in the 2023 draft. He spent his first season-and-a-half with the Lakers, who decided not to pick up their 2025/26 team option on his rookie scale contract last fall after the former Indiana standout appeared in just 21 NBA games during his rookie campaign.

Hood-Schifino only made two appearances this season with Los Angeles, playing a total of 14 minutes. He missed a significant chunk of the season due to a left hamstring strain.

While his NBA role in L.A. was extremely limited, Hood-Schifino did put up some solid numbers in the G League last season, averaging 22.0 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 35.4 minutes per game across 15 outings for the South Bay Lakers. He had a shooting line of .473/.432/.800.

The 76ers recently had a pair of two-way openings alongside guard Jeff Dowtin, but filled them by signing forwards David Roddy and Alex Reese within the past week.

Philadelphia will have to waive one of those players in order to make room for Hood-Schifino — according to Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com (Twitter link), Roddy will be the odd man out and will be cut to open up a two-way slot.

David Roddy Signs Two-Way Deal With Sixers

February 21st, 2025 at 10:56am CST by Arthur Hill

The Sixers have signed David Roddy to a two-way contract, the team announced (via Twitter).

The 6’4″ power forward just completed a 10-day contract with the team that he signed on February 11. He got into only one game during that deal, finishing with four points, five rebounds and two assists in 13 minutes in Thursday night’s loss to Boston.

Roddy fills the two-way slot that opened up when Philadelphia promoted Jared Butler to the 15-man roster last week.

Roddy began the season with Atlanta, but was placed on waivers so the Hawks could complete a two-for-one deal with the Clippers at the trade deadline. Before being released, he appeared in 27 games, averaging 4.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.8 minutes per night.

The Sixers selected Roddy with the 23rd pick in 2022, but traded him to Memphis on draft night. He was sent to Phoenix in a three-team deal at the 2024 deadline and then shipped to Atlanta in an offseason trade.

Alex Reese is also expected to sign a two-way contract with Philadelphia, which will have a full roster once that deal is finalized. Jeff Dowtin holds the team’s other two-way slot.

Lonnie Walker Signs Two-Year Deal With Sixers

February 21st, 2025 at 9:57am CST by Luke Adams

February 21: The signing is official, the Sixers announced in a press release.

February 18, 2:46 pm: Walker will exercise the opt-out clause in his contract with Zalgiris Kaunas after all, Langberg tells Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link). According to Charania, the veteran guard has agree to a two-year contract with the Sixers.

While Charania describes it as a $3MM deal, it should be worth a little more than that. Philadelphia only has the ability to offer a minimum-salary contract, but the second year of a minimum offer would come in around $2.94MM.

The amount of Walker’s prorated minimum salary for the rest of this season will depend on when he officially signs. As of today, it would be about $826K, but it will likely take him a little time to gain FIBA clearance.

The second year of Walker’s new contract will be a team option, a source tells Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports (Twitter link).

The 76ers currently have a full 15-man standard roster, but their 15th man is David Roddy, whose 10-day contract expires on Thursday night, so Walker figures to take Roddy’s spot on the roster.

Philadelphia will be looking to strike gold in the international market again after signing big man Guerschon Yabusele last summer following his five-year stint in Asia and Europe.

According to Stein (Twitter link), the Sixers’ offer to Walker came in today, just in time for him to take advantage of his Feb. 18 opt-out deadline. The team sought shooting guard insurance with Eric Gordon‘s return from a wrist injury up in the air, Stein adds.

February 18, 10:27 am: The contract that shooting guard Lonnie Walker signed with Zalgiris Kaunas in the fall included a clause that allowed him to opt out up until February 18 in order to return to the NBA.

However, Walker won’t take advantage of that opt-out, agent George S. Langberg tells Marc Stein of The Stein Line (Twitter link). The plan, Stein says, is for Walker to finish the current season in Lithuania and return to the NBA for the 2025/26 season.

Walker has 322 career regular season NBA games under his belt, having spent time with the Spurs, Lakers, and Nets from 2018-24. Last season, he averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 17.4 minutes per game across 58 appearances for Brooklyn, with a shooting line of .423/.384/.763.

The 26-year-old was in camp with the Celtics in October before being cut ahead of the team’s regular season opener.

Multiple reports in recent months have suggested that Walker was drawing interest from NBA teams, including a handful of playoff-caliber clubs. However, it’s unclear whether or not any of those teams made a serious pitch to bring him back stateside.

Walker has averaged 13.6 PPG, 3.2 RPG, and 1.8 APG in 19 EuroLeague games (22.3 MPG) for Zalgiris this season, though his shooting percentages are just 38.7% from the field and 33.1% on three-pointers.

David Roddy Signs 10-Day Deal With Sixers

February 11th, 2025 at 9:58am CST by Arthur Hill

February 11: Roddy has officially signed his 10-day contract with the Sixers, the team announced today in a press release.

The deal will run through Feb. 20, covering Philadelphia’s last two games before the All-Star break and its first game after the break. Roddy will earn $119,972 over the course of those 10 days.

The 76ers now have a full 15-man standard roster, though two of those 15 players are on 10-day contracts and the club still has a two-way slot open.

February 9: The Sixers will sign David Roddy to a 10-day contract once he clears waivers, sources tell Jake Fischer of The Stein Line (Twitter link).

The Hawks released the 23-year-old power forward on Friday to create a roster opening so they could complete a two-for-one deal with the Clippers. Atlanta sent Bogdan Bogdanovic to L.A. in exchange for Terance Mann and Bones Hyland.

Roddy appeared in 27 games with the Hawks this season, making three starts and averaging 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per night.

Philadelphia will be Roddy’s fourth team in three seasons once the deal is finalized. He spent a year and a half with Memphis before being traded to Phoenix at last year’s deadline. He was dealt again in July as the Suns shipped him to Atlanta.

The Sixers originally selected Roddy with the 23rd pick in 2022 before trading him to the Grizzlies on draft night.

Philadelphia created multiple roster openings with its deadline deals, so another move won’t be necessary to add Roddy. He joins Chuma Okeke, who signed a 10-day deal with the Sixers on Friday, and both players will be eligible for a second 10-day contract when their current ones expire.
