As that Haralgous Volgaris (spelling?)(former NBA gambler and analyst for the Mavs) said does Rich Paul represent his clients best interests, or the Lakers. When sitting court side he heard RP openly saying how lucky KCP was to be on the Nuggets and winning another ring. He represents KCP...
He needs to be thrown out but all the agencies have too much power. Trade rumours now boil down to who represents the player. "oh he's a CAA guy so likely to go to CAA knicks", is utter madness to even be suggested, but it's how they got OG whilst RJ went to the raps who have alot of his agencies players I think. Whole thing needs to be blown up from an agent POV
It has a long history in the NBA.
One of the greatest fallacies in the history of the sport was that the Pels/Hornets traded Kobe because they were stupid. Somehow the fact that we were one of several teams warned off selecting Kobe because we were not a desired landing spot is always glossed over.
'Steering (one's client) to a favourable landing spot' is just a euphemism for draft tampering.
