What kind of thought process leads someone to add a traditional Center who is almost 36 years old and weighs over 160 kilograms to a fast-break basketball team?
And to think they traded for him using Shawn Marion, the top forward who was the most suitable for the fast break, willing to be the third option, and always hardworking.
This isn't just a mistake, it's completely lacking a general manager's mindset.
At this thought, Zhang Yang's respect for Popovich and Larry Bird increased once more.
Even though Popovich heavily relies on Duncan, without Reggie Miller or Granger, the big bird knows how to use his star players, which is a powerful ability in itself.

Because of Steve Kerr's disastrous moves that sent the Suns plummeting, Zhang Yang paid special attention to it.
