Hollow the Trail Blazers! This Lakers operation is a chance for Yang Hansen!

In the 2025 NBA Draft, Chinese young player Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers in the first round of 16, with the pick being the highest after 2022 No. 1 pick Yao Ming and 2007 No. 6 pick Yi Jianlian. But after the Trail Blazers selected Yang Hansen, domestic fans were also very worried. Why is this? Because there are too many Trail Blazers centers, Klingen, No. 6 pick in the first round last year, No. 6 pick, No. 1 pick, Ayton, Rees, Robert Williams, and Yang Hansen, there are 5 centers in a team. As a rookie, Xiao Yang has any chance to play?

But the Lakers told you not to worry. They first released news about Ayton in the free market, but they did not choose to trade, but waited for the Trail Blazers and Ayton to discuss the buyout. In the end, Ayton joined the Lakers as they wished for 16 million in two years. Yang Hansen will compete for one teammate in the new season, but some fans will ask, aren’t there four more? Klingen is higher than Yang Hansen's pick, and he is definitely the main training target of the Trail Blazers. Robert Williams is also a player with both offense and defense. How can Xiao Yang compete with them?

Lakers say don't worry, I'll help you, and this time I won't wait for the buyout, but will take the initiative! According to famous reporter ARY, although the Lakers signed Ayton as the starting center, substitute center Klebeer is still very embarrassing. Therefore, the Lakers targeted the Trail Blazers' second center Robert Williams. They are preparing to use Klebeer and Knecott + a second round pick to quote Rowe. The two sides are currently in further communication. If Rowe can really be exchanged for Rowe, not only will the Lakers' competitiveness be enhanced next season, but Yang Hansen will also get more playing time. I hope Pelinka will be more successful!
