Zhang Yang: "Well... don't mention it, Grant. This year's draft is particularly strong in guard talent. If the Celtics get a top-five pick and keep Josh Smith and Al Jefferson, and then select a guard that suits them both, it's not impossible to trade those forward talents for role players and rise again."
Hill: "Your thoughts are pretty close to mine..."
By 7 PM, the game between the Bobcats and the Celtics started.
Having lost narrowly in their first encounter and barely won the second, tonight was their third.
With Pierce traded away, Rivers finally embraced tanking and deployed the 'Hawks strategy,' using Josh Smith as a point guard...
Zhang Yang shot 22 times and made 14 of them, including 4 out of 6 three-pointers, plus 3 out of 4 free throws, scoring 35 points in three quarters and then clocking out.
Not playing in the fourth quarter, Zhang Yang kind of missed "Baldy."
