Trade Simmons! Buy out Ayton! The craziest NBA team is born, Yang Hansen has a long way to go

The NBA free agent market is about to begin, and 30 teams are looking for opportunities to adjust their rosters. As the saying goes: those who are capable are superior, those who are equal are favorable, those who are mediocre are inferior, and those who are inferior are eliminated. However, there are not many big fish in the free market, and there are only a handful of teams with abundant salary space, so many teams and players can only sigh, only a few teams such as the Rockets and Mavericks are signing crazy. The Portland Trail Blazers selected Yang Hansen with the No. 16 draw in the draft, and became the new home team of thousands of fans overnight. Not only that, the Trail Blazers are also making crazy adjustments to the lineup, which seems to be paving the way for Yang Hansen!

Trading Simmons

In the past 20 years, the Trail Blazers have many talented superstars such as Oden, Roy, Adr, and Lillard, but Portland has been labeled as a torn city, and the road to rebuilding and rising is mostly ruined by injuries! Lillard is a rare stubborn force, but Lillard's absolute talent and wild style of play determine that his ceiling is just the "weak team football king" and is not enough to lead the Trail Blazers to have real competitiveness in the Wild West. This is also one of the reasons why Lillard finally got along with the Trail Blazers and gave up "one person, one city" to apply for a transaction and leave the team. But then again, Lillard's departure is only a turning point in the reconstruction of the Trail Blazers. Whether it is Simmons or the 24th-time Tetra Flower Henderson, it still makes the Trail Blazers feel unsure whether they can become the real cornerstone of the team building.

Facing reality, the Trail Blazers quietly completed a big deal before the draft! According to previous reports from NBA famous reporter Shams, the Trail Blazers and the Celtics completed a 3-for-1 deal. The Trail Blazers gave Simmons + 2030 second-round pick (from the Knicks) + 2031 second-round pick and got Holiday. Two years ago, the Trail Blazers won Holiday in the Lillard big deal and sold it to the Celtics. Holiday made great achievements in winning the championship. Two years later, the Trail Blazers used the younger Simmons to "redeem" Holiday, obviously because they had a crush on Holiday's veteran championship experience and "remedy the chaos" the lineup. After the completion of the big deal for buyout Ayton

Simmons, the Trail Blazers selected Chinese star Yang Hansen with the No. 16 draw at the 2025 draft, which was an uproar and mixed reviews! Yang Hansen is indeed an all-around center embryo that is hard to come by in the small ball era. After choosing Yang Hansen, the Trail Blazers' inside line is too crowded - Ayton + Klingen + Yang Hansen + Rowe + Reese! At that time, many people were worried: even if they didn't mention Rowe and Reese, Ayton was the No. 7 pick, and their talent and instant combat power were both before Yang Hansen. Yang Hansen had to be on the dragon and tigers had to be on the lie first!

What can be achieved? The Trail Blazers cut the mess quickly, and angrily slashed Ayton to dispel the world's concerns! According to NBA famous reporter Shams, Ayton was brutally bought out by the Trail Blazers and will become a full free agent after passing the clarification period. Ayton was the No. 1 pick in 2018, and averaged at least 14 points + 10 rebounds per game in the first seven seasons of his career. He became the sixth player in the NBA to achieve this achievement in the past 45 years. The top five are Buck Williams, Olajuwon, David Robinson, O'Neal and Duncan. Ayton's contract has 35.5 million US dollars in the last one year. According to US media, Ayton gave up 10 million US dollars during the buyout process.

The craziest team in the NBA was born, and Yang Hansen has a long way to go

From trading Simmons to buying out Ayton, the Trail Blazers are undoubtedly the craziest team in the NBA this offseason. You dare to think, do, and never be soft-hearted! If the Trail Blazers traded Simmons to correct Tanhualang Henderson, then the Trail Blazers bought out Ayton to train Yang Hansen! NBA famous reporter Shams pointed out incisively: The Trail Blazers regard Yang Hansen as a treasure boy and attach great importance to Yang Hansen's talent. They will train Yang Hansen like the Nuggets train Jokic! But then again, planning depends on people and accomplishing things is in heaven. Yang Hansen has a long way to go. The key to how tall he can grow into is still dependent on his own efforts! In the team, Yang Hansen will compete with Klingen for the starting center; outside the team, Yang Hansen will be baptized by the whole NBA league wolves! I wish Yang Hansen a blessing, and hope that he can carry the expectations of the Trail Blazers and thousands of fans and fulfill his mission! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
