Welcome back the veterans? The media sets three major signing goals for the Trail Blazers, which may help the team return to the playoffs

The NBA has just ended, and the next step is the time for each team to select players through the free agent market. Because of this, some media have given the top three teams that each team should pursue the signing target in the free agent market. As for the Trail Blazers team that Yang Hansen just joined, the reporter's signing goals are intriguing. After sending Lillard away, the Trail Blazers announced that they had begun to officially rebuild, and the team's record has plummeted. In the past four seasons, none of them have won more than 40 games in a season. However, for the Trail Blazers who have already stocked up a number of talented players such as Henderson, Sharp, Avdia, Klingen, etc., they have begun to find a sense of winning. Last year, the team won 36 wins and 46 losses, and is still in the fiercely competitive West. If the Trail Blazers are placed in the East, they may be able to achieve their goal of making the playoffs last year.

In the new season, Yang Hansen, who has more comprehensive skills in the team, has allowed coach Billupson to make more changes in tactical arrangements. The three signing targets given by the media may also continue to be considered based on the balance of the team's overall lineup. The first goal of signing is Alexander Walker, the backcourt player who played for the Timberwolves last season.

As one of the team's main players last year, Walker helped the Timberwolves reach the Western Conference Finals. The Trail Blazers previously sent Anthony Smith to the Celtics in a deal about Ju Holiday, which made them lack offensive firepower in the backcourt. Especially on the bench, there is a lack of a "microwave" player who makes a score contribution when playing.

And what makes Alexander Walker most reassuring is his offensive ability. Whether it is his independent attack when holding the ball or his shooting ability on the outside, you can see some SGA shadows. After the Timberwolves renewed Reed for $125 million in five years, they may only be able to watch Alexander Walker leave. The Trail Blazers are likely to be able to handle this powerful substitute who averaged 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season with just one middle-class contract.

The second player is Bruce Brown, whose contract expires this year. Brown is undoubtedly a very lucky player. He only joined the Nuggets for one season and won the NBA championship with the team. He was subsequently awarded a two-year, $45 million contract. For a player who averages 11.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game, this contract is a lot of premium even now.

If the Trail Blazers sign him, it will bring more improvements to the team in two aspects. First of all, he can bring the championship to this team together with Zhu Holiday. The winning experience in the playoffs is very important for these young people at present, and it can let the team know how to play and win more.

At the same time, Brown can also act as a field adhesive. He can use his actions to glue all players together, and his spiritual attributes are a bit like Dream Chasing Green. And his price will be relatively appropriate. After all, last season, with the Pelicans, 8.2 points per game was the lowest after the rookie's game, and his 41% shooting percentage was also only higher than the rookie season. Brown needs one season to prove himself, so a contract of about 8 million may be signed.

The last one is 36-year-old veteran Batum. When he entered the league at the age of 20, Batum's career started with the Trail Blazers, and welcomed him back to the team to bring some game experience and equip Avdia with a similar style as a backup on the front line. Although he is 36 years old, in the Clippers' playoffs last season, Batum still averaged nearly 25 minutes of playing time, averaging 5.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting percentage of 39.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.4%. Interestingly, in the first round of the playoffs, the Clippers fought against the Nuggets in seven games. Batum made a total of 33 shots, and all of these 33 shots came from the outside.

In addition to the above three signing targets, there is another thing that may allow the team to get on the right track early, that is, to quickly find a next home for the two centers, Ayton and Rowe, and to reinforcing Klingen and Yang Hansen. It is obvious that the future of the Trail Blazers is not in those two veterans. Which player do you think is the most beneficial for them to strengthen?
