The Portland Trail Blazers are in the thick of their 2025 Summer League schedule and Yang Hansen is making waves across the U.S. and on multiple continents. You couldn’t wish for anything better as a Trail Blazers fan! Well, except maybe a podcast to explain it all and put Yang, Jrue Holiday, and the ongoing evolution of the team in perspective.
Fear not! A special bonus episode of Trail Daddy has dropped, wherein Managing Editor Dave Deckard talks about Portland’s new center prodigy. What’s looking
good for Hansen so far in Las Vegas? What does he need to work on? How will opponents handle him and force him to stretch his game? We talk about all of that and more. (Note: the episode was recorded before the Blazers played the Memphis Grizzlies in Vegas, but surprise, surprise...the strengths continued and the areas of growth held pretty much true throughout that contest.)
The episode also delves back into the Jrue Holiday trade and the lightly-simmering debate around same. Why does this deal matter and what things stick out most about it?
We also take a deep dive into the origins of Blazer’s Edge and the philosophy of fan interaction here, a good thing to do every few years or so!
