Buy out directly with 35 million! In order to help Yang Hansen take over, the Trail Blazers sent away the "No. 1 center in history"

Previously, after being selected by the Trail Blazers with the No. 16 draw in the NBA Draft (selected by the Grizzlies and then traded to the Trail Blazers), everyone was looking forward to Yang Hansen being reused in this rebuilding team, but considering that there are Loway, Klingen, Ayton and others in the team, Yang Hansen wants to take a solid rotation in the main team in the rookie season, and even play in the starting lineup, and the prospects are not optimistic. At that time, the general manager of the Trail Blazers Cronin said at the press conference that he would focus on cultivating Yang Hansen, and fans just regarded this sentence as a polite one.

However, the Trail Blazers really made a shocking move, buying out the team's starting center Ayton last season. You should know that Ayton's salary next season will be more than 35 million, and in the 45 playoff games that Ayton has played so far in his career, he averaged 15.9 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage is 62.9%! He is also the only player in NBA history who averages 15+ points per game in the playoffs and shoots at least 60%.

From this data, Ayton is also a "no. 1 center in history" to some extent. Yang Hansen directly bought out Ayton. He is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, and he is likely to even take the starting position of the Trail Blazers in the rookie season.

Although there are Klingen, Reese, Loway and others in the Trail Blazers now, considering that Reese has basically faded out of the rotation last season, and Loway is also a veritable glass man, both of them may leave the team next, which is equivalent to the Trail Blazers' inside position, which is to let Klingen and Yang Hansen rotate mainly.

In fact, when the Trail Blazers secretly went to Chen Cang and intercepted Hu Yang Hansen in advance, the team may have made a complete plan for the future, but when they really bought out Ayton, especially the latter's salary next season is not low, it really surprised the outside world. For Yang Hansen, he had a great chance to settle in the rotation position of the main players just after joining the NBA. He also hoped that he would not have too much pressure in the future, but instead deal with it with a normal mind. Next month's summer league may be the key to determining whether the Trail Blazers will continue to strengthen in the interior position.

If Yang Hansen showed strength in the summer league that could be based in the NBA, then the Trail Blazers are likely not to make any signings in the inside position, but if Yang Hansen regretfully failed to seize the opportunity, it is not ruled out that the team will make some adjustments in the inside position in the next place (such as leaving Rowe, or trading to get some other centers with stronger strength).

In short, in order to train Yang Hansen, the Trail Blazers did not write a short check, but instead took practical actions. I also hope that Yang Hansen can seize this opportunity in the next step and strive to firmly take the Trail Blazers' main rotation and even start the position in the rookie season, so that they can go in both directions. For the Trail Blazers, letting Yang Hansen get on the position and buying out the team's starting center, their ratings and stadium attendance will be destined to be no less low next season.
