NBA: Lakers cut two, Kumingga refuses to return to the Warriors, Yang Hansen effect is revealed

The NBA regular season continues, and the summer league is coming to an end. What needs to be done for each team is to prepare for the new season. When the subsequent adjustments continue to appear, the Lakers completed two layoffs earlier, and further news came out between the Warriors and Kumingga. In addition, the impact of the Trail Blazers' selection of Yang Hansen has also begun to be revealed. Next, let’s take a look at the specific situation. NBA: The Lakers cut two, Kumingga refused to return the Warriors, and the Yang Hansen effect was revealed.

As of now, the Warriors have not operated any of the operations, but there are reports that they have actually completed two discussions, and they just need to wait for the Kumingga problem to be solved before they can be truly reached. If nothing unexpected happens, these two moves are Horford and Melton. However, the problem on Kumingga's side has not been resolved. According to famous reporter Siegel, the restricted free agent Kumingga's camp wants a large contract with an annual salary of more than 30 million yuan and does not want to return to the Warriors.

Last season's regular season, Kumingga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game; he averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in the playoffs. His personal data is still good, but in many games he is away from the Warriors' system. It is obvious that he does not want to move forward according to the tactical position set by Cole for him, which also leads to the obvious problems between him and the team. There was news before that Kumingga not only wanted a big contract, but also the team's tactical status and ball rights.

The Warriors want to add a small contract with an annual salary of about $20 million to Kuming for subsequent transactions, because there is currently no buyer who directly trades his business in the market. At present, the Warriors are willing to sign with the Bulls first and then exchange, hoping to get Dosum. Will Kumingga stay with the Warriors in the future?

Smart has officially reached a buyout agreement with the Wizards, and the Lakers are also planning subsequent adjustments to make room for Smart. Earlier, they first cut Milton’s $3 million insecurity contract. Meanwhile they sought a deal about Goodwin, but over the past period of time the Lakers and multiple teams have discussed it, trying to free up some cap space without sacrificing important draft assets. Sources said there has been no substantial progress in the deal negotiations. In the end, the Lakers chose to cut Goodwin in a helpless situation. Goodwin once performed well at the end of last season and became a key rotation player for the team. But in the end, in order to make new space for Smart, he was cut.

According to the disclosed information, the Lakers are expected to have other operations in the future, but the team does not have many chips available to strengthen. The Lakers can trade only one draft asset in the first round (2031 or 2032) and one second round, and the Lakers have five draft pick swaps (2026, 2028, 2030, 2031 and 2032). The most discussed players are Kneckett and Kleber.

Yang Hansen has played four games in the Summer League. He averaged 10.8 points, 5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.7%, demonstrating his passing, shooting, downs and other abilities, but his strength and cardiopulmonary level still need to be improved. However, based on his performance, he is expected to enter the Trail Blazers' regular rotation lineup earlier in the new season. The impact of the Trail Blazers on the team after selecting Yang Hansen has also begun to appear; a Trail Blazers executive said in an interview that since the draft, the team's retail sales have increased by 1091% compared with 2024. The team's social media account has exceeded 30 million views. In less than a month, the Trail Blazers have added nearly 900,000 followers on multiple social platforms in China, surpassing all other NBA teams in the same period.

For Yang Hansen, what he needs to do now is to improve his shortcomings, take a good rest, and then prepare for the arrival of the new season. Looking forward to Yang Hansen's good performance in the new season, come on.
