They didnt want a multi year contract while they just traded for Holiday and his 100mil contract?! These guys have no idea what they are doing.
They also took a huge gamble on Yang Hansen who was projected to be a 2nd round pick and picked him at #16. His passing skills look good but he's sub par athletically and the record for Chinese players since Yao Ming have not been good so it's a super bold (foolish) pick when you passed up better players at that spot.
If they really liked him they should have traded down from #16 and gotten some additional picks via a trade.
As others said during draft night, that pick seemed like a move to boost team price evaluation/Chinese revenue. What they have done this offseason is insane.

Pure talent vise, he is top 5 Center in nba.
But guy is lazy and basketball is not one of his top priorities in life.
On court he has bad habit of dribbling in traffic, but has no handles, his effort level isn't there, his rebounding could be better for player with such athletic profile, his defense should be way better especially given his athletic profile.
Like, even with most basic drive and will power, he could have been top 20 player without any issues.
But he seems to be more interested in influencers banging than anything else
Why guy who can do this, isn't even top in 10 rebounding ?
Answer is ugly. He doesn't really care.
He's consistently been in the top 10 in rebounding and this year averaged 10.2 rebounds per game which would have been 10th in the league but he did not play enough games this season to qualify and he's averaged double digits in rebounds every season he's been in the league.
Do people not do even the basic Google search before making these kinds of claims?

He’s a Klutch client. He probably told Portland he wasn’t resigning with them, and being with Klutch, they had their preferred destination (Lakers). Lakers weren’t willing to offer anything to get him this summer and wanted to wait. Joe “no balls” Cronin just said OK and gave Ayton and his agent what they want… likely hoping for more “good will” that being a “nice guy to work with” might bring… instead he just looks like the pushover that he is.
