Pope of Basketball.

Summary

Yang Rui is eager to make a trade due to insufficient ball-sharing for the Clippers next season. Key players, Ka Man and Gorden, have peak trading values as their statistics are likely to drop. Ka Man is regarded as a top center despite the team's poor performance, while Gorden shows promise as a rising shooting guard. The Hornets express interest in trading for Ka Man, Gorden, and draft picks, particularly valuing the Timberwolves' 2012 unprotected pick. Yang Rui recalls the potential of the 2012 draft and considers Chris Paul, the league's top point guard, as a crucial addition for the Clippers. A major trade is announced, with Paul joining the Clippers, marking a significant step in their rebuilding process. The team roster is set, but Yang Rui identifies flaws in defense and shooting, particularly in the center and power forward positions. He contemplates further trades to strengthen the team while managing training for the upcoming World Basketball Championship.
