The Rockets are not fooled! The Trail Blazers want to exchange Glass man for the first round pick, but Yang Hansen has only one competitor left

Uduka attaches great importance to the issue of inside defense. The Rockets once offered a offer to Daluo, but he refused. Later, the Rockets traded Adams and welcomed Capela back this summer. Currently, there are three centers in the Rockets with starting strength, which can be said to be quite wealthy.

Lawway has had many scandals with the Rockets, and Uduka actually wants to bring this love player to Houston. But the Trail Blazers wanted to slap a fierce attack, but the Rockets were not fooled.

Last January, famous reporter Hayes said that Uduka likes Rowe very much, and it would not be surprising if the Rockets participated in the transaction. Last February, famous reporter Shams revealed that the Rockets were interested in Rowe and were also paying attention to Capela. Uduka intends to engage in the double tower tactic. The Trail Blazers priced at least one first-round pick for Loway. The Rockets believed that it was not worth it, so naturally the two sides could not reach an agreement.

In January this year, a Rockets reporter mentioned that Uduka had been chatting with Rowe for a long time after playing with the Trail Blazers. Later, Forbes Sports reporters revealed that the Rockets and the Trail Blazers had preliminary negotiations on the deal for Rowe. The reporter of "clutchpoints" said that the Rockets are willing to take out chips for Rowe, including Langdale, Tate and second-round draft picks. The Trail Blazers want more and may want to get Ethan.

The Rockets are unwilling to be the sucker, and the Trail Blazers are in trouble. Now the Trail Blazers want to exchange glass man Rowe for the first round pick, but they have not received a satisfactory offer.

Recently, Trail Blazers reporter Adrian Bernecich mentioned that Klingen will be the starting center, and potential center Yang Hansen is expected to gain a lot of playing time, while Rowe is not in the long-term plan of the Trail Blazers. It is ideal for the Trail Blazers to exchange him for good chips before the trade deadline. Rowe is athletic and has a strong defense, so he is completely worthy of a draft pick in the middle of the first round.

"clutchpoints" said that the Lakers are very cautious about the deal and that his potential for injury is a big problem.

No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't play. Rowe made 35, 6 and 20 appearances in the past three seasons. His contract in the last year was $14.95 million, twice Capela's annual salary.

The Rockets also wanted to exchange Whitmore for the first round pick, but in the end they only exchanged for two second round picks. If the Trail Blazers do not lower the price, it will be difficult for Rowe to find a takeover for Rowe.

Even if Rowe stays in the team, there will not be much playing time. Yang Hansen has only one competitor, that is Klingen.

Trail Blazers reporter Sean Highkin expects that Yang Hansen and Klingen will share the center position most of the time in the new season, and Rowe will not have too many opportunities to play.

Klingen is 21 meters tall at the age of 21. He is the No. 7 pick in 2024 and is the type that Rockets head coach Uduka likes. However, Stone is optimistic about Shepard's ball quotient and shooting ability, and did not use the No. 3 pick to choose Klingen, who was won by the Trail Blazers.

Klingen's selling point is defense. With the advantage of size, he can protect the frame and protect the rebounds, and also defend the pick-and-roll. On the offensive end, his main focus is to eat cakes and grab the frontcourt rebounds to complete the second attack. Klingen lacks the ability to attack independently, passing and free throws are just like that. Last season, Klingen's free throw percentage was only 59.6%, and he averaged 1.1 assists per game and made 1.1 turnovers.

In contrast, Yang Hansen's upper limit and talent are higher than Klingen, and he also has huge commercial value. Draft expert James Barlowe recently said when participating in the show that Yang Hansen made the Trail Blazers a lot of money, and his outstanding performance in the summer league will put pressure on Klingen.
