9-for-1 swap! Yang Hansen as the trade chip! American reporter suggests a blockbuster deal for the Trail Blazers

Renowned reporter Haynes: The Trail Blazers are keen on landing Giannis and are actively investigating potential trades.

U.S. reporter Jake Weinbach has outlined the assets the Trail Blazers could offer to acquire Giannis, as follows:

Jerami Grant;

Shaedon Sharpe;

Scoot Henderson;

Yang Hansen;

2027 first-round pick (from the Trail Blazers);

2028 first-round pick (from the Magic);

2029 first-round pick (the highest among the Trail Blazers, Celtics, and Bucks);

Swap rights for the 2028 and 2030 first-round picks (from the Bucks).

Truth be told, the Trail Blazers may be chasing hard, but whether they can actually "win the beauty" is another story.

Based on various reports so far, Giannis prefers to stay in the East; even if he brings his talents to the West, he would only choose a title-contending team.

It must be admitted that the Trail Blazers have made clear progress this season, posting a 42-40 record for the eighth seed in the West and pushing the Spurs to five games in the first round before losing. Still, they are nowhere near championship contention, making it tough to lure the Greek Freak...

Of course, until the very last moment, anything is possible.

Besides, if our Yang Hansen gets traded to Milwaukee in his second NBA season, it might not be a bad thing.

The Bucks currently have only two true big men on their roster: two-time blocks leader Myles Turner and Sims, the 28th pick of the second round in 2021.

As everyone knows, Clingan and Robert Williams have taken nearly all the center minutes for the Trail Blazers this season, leaving Yang Hansen, the 16th pick of the first round in 2025, with very few playing opportunities.

However, it is particularly worth mentioning thatRobert Williams has entered free agency and may not stay in Portland next season.

In short, if Yang Hansen again only serves as the third center for the Trail Blazers next season, it would really be better for him to be traded away.

Young players need opportunities to unlock their damn talent; sitting on the bench only produces excellent water boys.
