After renewing the contract for 125 million yuan in 5 years, after missing Yang Hansen, the Timberwolves quickly left the center forward!

The Trail Blazers finally grabbed Yang Hansen. In fact, they intercepted the Timberwolves before the 17th pick.

The strongest contrast is undoubtedly the reaction of the management of the two teams after Yang Hansen was selected by the 16th pick. The Trail Blazers cheered, while the Timberwolves' office was dead silent. In desperation, the Timberwolves had to choose another center, a new star from France, Belange. But we can all see that this is just the helpless choice of the Timberwolves. After all, Berlane averaged 4.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, which is indeed a bit shabby, and this data was still played in the Slovenian League. To put it bluntly, this Belange is a bankrupt version of Gobert. Not to mention, the Timberwolves were a little dissatisfied with Gobert's performance.

Timberwolves must have known Yang Hansen's value, and their performance in the trial training was really outstanding. After the trial training, he was determined to take Yang Hansen. During the trial, Yang Hansen's high support made the Timberwolves' eyes lit up. The ability to use his body to hard-press into the penalty area was something that neither Gobert nor Downs had. Over the years, the Timberwolves wanted such a center, and Edwards also needed a pick-and-roll center partner with more comprehensive skills. A big man who can pick-and-roll, throw balls, and shoot, not a big stupid man who is thick and hard. In addition, the Timberwolves' operations after the draft also indirectly confirmed the Timberwolves' regret and make up for missing Yang Hansen. After the draft, they quickly completed a five-year, $125 million early contract renewal with Naz Reed! Judging from the price, this contract is definitely worth it. With Reed's ability, a contract with an average salary of $25 million can be said to be extremely cost-effective.

Of course, Reed's acceptance of such a contract may also be related to his sluggish performance in the Western Conference Finals. In fact, many teams, including the Warriors, have contacted Reed and can match the Timberwolves' offer, but Reed finally chose to stay with the Timberwolves and continue to strive for the championship. Reed's contract renewal was reached the next day after missing Yang Hansen. The Timberwolves general manager contacted Reed directly to discuss the contract extension, and the two parties finalized the contract. These operations by the Timberwolves management are enough to show that they don’t want to make trouble in the center position again. I originally thought that Yang Hansen was a center forward, which was a good fighter, but he was suddenly robbed. In this case, if Reed is snatched away by other teams, the Timberwolves in the new season will be too passive. Average salary of $25 million is indeed suitable for leaving the best sixth person.

In addition, the Timberwolves' sale has been officially approved for completion. The team's new boss said he would not interfere with the team's management, he was only responsible for paying the money.

In addition, the wolf king Garnett may also return to the Timberwolves, this time he is in management. For the Timberwolves, Garnett's return means a lot, and most importantly, it is definitely to help these big players in the team to become better centers and help the team.
