Although Yu Fei was a prize that had been scratched off, he was still not on the same level as a top prize like Yao Ming.
Moreover, even in terms of tapping into the Chinese market, Big Fei, the chosen son of China, can't compare to Yao Huang, the pure-blooded Chinese son with a hukou.
Jordan didn't like being rejected, so he went to the Houston Rockets with a second offer: Yu Fei plus Kwame Brown, how about that?
Rockets: Thank you, but no need to discuss further.
The Chicago Bulls, on the other hand, holding the second overall pick, were very interested in Yu Fei and were willing to trade their draft pick for him.
It was now Jordan's turn to show his true colors.
The Bulls' general manager was Jerry Krause.
