Putting Yang Hansen aside, let me tell you how amazing this Trail Blazers team is.

Old NBA fans all know that before Yang Hansen came, the Trail Blazers had two famous nicknames:

"Center Grave" and "Trail Blazers Prison"

Let's talk about the first one. Bill Walton, who led the team to win the only championship in team history in the 1970s, once went to court with the Trail Blazers because of a team doctor's diagnosis error. He would rather go to the then-new San Diego Clippers to escape this place of right and wrong.

In 1984, they skipped Michael Jordan and chose center Sam Bowie. He only played 139 games in four years here, and his attendance rate was less than half.

In 2007, Oden skipped Durant's choice and came to lie down for a year as a sign of respect. In the end, he discovered that the difference between his left and right legs was 3 centimeters.

So when Yang Hansen was selected by them, it was actually really frightening.

The second one is even more exciting.

After failing to compete with the Lakers for the championship in the early 21st century, his heart collapsed. All the tough guys in the team came out to cause trouble in the palace.

Randolph, who was still a rookie at the time, assaulted a police officer and asked for leave from the team to attend his aunt's funeral in order to go on a date with a woman.

Bunch Wells, who later worked as a teammate of Yao Ming, was jailed for illegally carrying marijuana. "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire (not a bully) was arrested for drag racing and carrying marijuana. Kemp and Patterson were accused of domestic violence, and the latter was even accused of sexual assault.

Compared with this group of monsters and monsters, "Roaring God" Wallace is considered a good boy.

But Tianzun has an "awesome record" comparable to Zhang Dashuai's 100% in a single game. In the 2000-01 season, 41 technical fouls were committed here, an average of once in two games.

Considering that the league now stipulates that technical offenses are not only subject to fines, but are also linked to suspensions, it is almost impossible for future generations to surpass him.

The Blazers' resurgence was due to the selection of Lillard in 2012, but in the following ten years, they were the Warriors' biggest "filial sons" in the Western Conference after Harden's Houston Rockets.

From 2014-2019, the Trail Blazers lost to the Warriors three times in the playoffs, with a total score of 1-12.

Finally reached the Western Conference Finals in 2019, but was shaved off by the Warriors who lacked Durant. By the way, Curry also broke the scoring record in a single overtime quarter (17 points) in overtime.

They sent away McCollum in 2022 and Lillard in 23rd. To put it bluntly, they have maintained a double backcourt for nearly ten years. In the playoffs, they have proven year after year that they are not as good as the opposite Splash Brothers.

Although Lillard is now widely praised for returning to his roots, in fact, his first choice during the 2023 offseason was the Miami Heat. The two sides had already discussed it in secret.

As a result, the wily Riley thought that he could take advantage of the Trail Blazers after getting rid of Lillard. The offer he made was almost humiliating, and he was not even willing to make a first-round offer. If the Trail Blazers accepted it, it would be the biggest joke in the league.

After flatly refusing, Lillard didn’t want to leave, but no matter how hard he tried to contact the general manager and boss, he couldn’t get back to him.

The Blazers have long wanted to get rid of this former core, whose annual salary is almost 60 million. Now that he wants to leave, it is simply a "double happiness, a deal".

Although Lillard was sent away, the reconstruction behind the Trail Blazers is hard to describe.

From 2023-2025, the biggest feeling given by the Blazers' reconstruction is that it is inconsistent and contradictory.

In 2023, Lillard was sent away. The whole world knew that they were going to rebuild. As a result, they gave Grant, who was already 28 years old, a large and long contract worth 160 million for five years.

This guy shined as a deputy to Mr. Yue when he was with the Nuggets. After failing as the boss of the Pistons, he came to the Trail Blazers. He was originally the third-in-command under the guidance of Lee.

Now the boss has run away, but the third boss is left, and the contract is obviously at a premium.

Now that Grant has been reduced to a substitute, it stands to reason that he still has the ability to fight. If it is cheaper, many teams will be interested.

As a result, now that he has three years and 100 million left on his contract, all the teams are shaking their heads.

You said that if you want to rebuild, you have to sell the old people in exchange for newcomers and draft picks. But in the end, the Blazers used newcomers in exchange for the old people.

But the most arrogant among them is Djokovic Holiday.

In 2023, the Bucks sent Zhu Ge over for the sake of coaching, but the Trail Blazers turned around and used a middleman to make the difference and sent him back to the East to the Celtics.

There were no problems in the first half of this deal. Not only did the Trail Blazers earn a first-round pick, but Brogdon was also packaged to the Wizards in exchange for Avdija, who is now the de facto core of the Trail Blazers.

But here comes the cool thing.

Zhu, who is two years older this year, was released by the Celtics to save wages this year. This time he thought of the Trail Blazers.

You said Holiday, who is 35 years old and still has a three-year, $100 million contract, and Simmons, who is 27 years old and has a two-year contract of $52 million, have to match each other, right? Two second rounds are okay? That's almost it.

The final result was revealed. The Trail Blazers sent two second-round picks to the Celtics, which not only saved the Celtics nearly 70 million in luxury tax, but also gave them young talent.

When the Lakers got Doncic, a lot of people asked for a strict investigation. Come on, this kind of putting the cart before the horse, taking and taking things, why no one asked for an investigation of the Celtics?

Is the target a pioneer? Oh, that's okay.

How can we not talk about Yang Hansen if we don’t want to talk about him?

Before Yang Hansen, the Blazers were recruiting centers like crazy.

First, Ayton was acquired from the Suns. Based on Dunbao's performance with the Lakers, everyone can see that he is more than enough to play the main role in a non-playoff team.

Then in the trade with the Celtics, Lowe made great contributions in the 21-22 season, but his performance declined due to injuries..

It stands to reason that with these two players in the paint, they are basically safe. However, in last year's draft, they couldn't resist the temptation of the NCAA double-champion center from UConn and got the giant white man Klingen.

When Hansen Yang was acquired this year, many people joked that the Blazers' serious center at the fifth position could play mahjong.

Then how to solve the problem?

They don’t solve the problem, they solve the people who created the problem.

They directly waived Ayton. Since he can't be traded, they will waive him.

The brain circuit of the Blazers management is really different from that of normal people.

No matter how optimistic the Lakers fans are, who would have thought a few months ago that they would get Ayton for nothing?

Don't look at Lowe now stealing so much of Yang Hansen's rotation time. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Blazers are just giving him a sales show to see which unimpressive team will take over this glass man in the middle of the season.

What should you do if no one answers? Keep cutting!

Finally, let’s talk about Yang Hansen. Many people feel that the dignified No. 16 pick in the first round has no chance at all.

But don't forget, the Trail Blazers still have a No. 3 pick in 23 years on the team. Henderson was the only one who could compete with Bunyama for the No. 1 pick.

This guy has missed one game this season due to injury.

This is another "great cleverness" from Wiseman. He originally thought that he would be able to fully obtain the ball in the Trail Blazers and let him squander it. As a result, he neither made great progress nor produced earth-shattering statistics in the first two years.

If you want to say that the data is there, have you ever seen a plus-minus value of -58 in a single game? It can be regarded as a tribute to the legendary predecessor.

So don't look at the Blazers' high-ranking selection of Yang Hansen, which surprised the Chinese people.

But based on his reputation as a "center's graveyard" and his poor record of training young people in recent years, it's hard not to worry about Yang Hansen.

Coupled with the fact that head coach Billups has also entered the game (don't you think this is a matchup again? The team has an old tradition), the newly appointed Split only cares about improving the record and keeping the coaching position. He doesn't care about the life or death of a rookie center.

With Yang Hansen's ability, not to mention becoming the main starting force, it stands to reason that playing 10 minutes per game is not a problem. Look at Shen Jing, Teacher Yue and even Sasha. Which Fire Dragon center has not been invested in the team for at least three years, played first in the game, and fed with time?

But when encountering a team like the Trail Blazers, we can only wish Xiao Yang great blessings and ask for more blessings.

I wish I were the crow's mouth.
