Hawks did something nobody has ever done before to add N'Faly Dante

While you probably had never heard of N'Faly Dante until the Atlanta Hawks signed him, the club is clearly excited about the former Rockets' big man.

Atlanta broke protocol in their choice to acquire Dante. They extended an offer sheet to the restricted free agent, an extremely rare occurrence for a two-way prospect. What was even more rare was the circumstances around Dante's signing.

Dante earned a two-year offer sheet from the Hawks despite playing in only four career NBA games. Brian Windhorst said on his podcast, The Hoop Collective, that he believed Dante has the fewest games played of anyone to receive an offer sheet in NBA history.
