Pope of Basketball.

Summary

The chapter summarizes a discussion between Yang Rui and Michael Jordan about a potential trade involving Kwame Brown and Corey Maggette. Jordan initially opposes the trade, arguing that Maggette is just a role player. Yang Rui tries to convince Jordan that Maggette would be a better fit and that they should also try to trade Bobbi Simmons. Jordan eventually agrees, and Yang Rui promises that Maggette will average over 15 points per game if they acquire him. The discussion then turns to the possibility of trading La Jia Bei Er for Larry Hughes, with Yang Rui arguing that Hughes is not a great system player and that La Jia Bei Er could be a better fit. Jordan agrees to follow Yang Rui's advice, and Yang Rui promises to lead the team to the playoffs.
