I don't remember how many real estate agents I have fired ... cause they didn't know how to represent my interest ... lol
Someone told me ... my price expectation was too high. I fire the dude, added another $10k to the price and the house was sold in less than 2 weeks ...

Rich Paul is doing what he is paid to do. Some fans might not like it, but I'm sure AD and his 2%-4% of his salary really appreciate what he is doing.

My disgust with Paul is simple: conflict of interest.

IMHO, the Lakers are not the best place for AD. Paul is trying to deliver him there on behalf of LeBron. A lawyer would get disbarred for something like this.

Stern would not have let it happen whether right or wrong.

AD is a grown man. If he felt his agent wasnt working in his best interest, he could go elsewhere. GTFOH with all this. Every player leaks major markets. But rich Paul is working against his client. Come on.
 
I could see Miami being a dark horse team to land AD. They could package Winslow, Richardson, Adebayo, Olynyk, #13, and future 1st round picks.

Also, Atlanta could potentially get in on that with Collins, Crabbe, Huerter, 8, 10, and 17
 
We know Pat would risk it all for a chance at one more glory. I would be shocked if Miami wasn't in the AD game.
Pat loves attention. Since LeBron left ... Pat's "Genius" has abandoned him ... lol Now he is just a regular dude ... lol lol lol

Still, #4 pick and some young talent is what the Pelicans want and we dont have that.

I think Simons, Collins, and #25 are comparable "Young Pieces" to what the Lakers are offering. No doubt Boston can offer more if Tatum is included, but I don't think they will include him.
 
Can a GM trade himself? I mean .. can Danny Ainge say ... "I'm trading Tatum + Danny Ainge" for AD + Griffin?

Really quick tho,

Y'all are HATING on Rich Paul.

Plain and simple. Y'all didn't say shit about Arn Tellem.

He was even MORE cutthroat than Paul ever was.

I keep hearing people say this the last few days and I don't quite understand it. I have despised so many agents over the last 30 years ( maybe 40) that I have lost count.

Having said that, I do not Blame Rich Paul in this, I blame the NBA

You should have disgust for Arn Tellem then.

Or Drew Rosenthal. Hell, Jay Z now too.

Your disgust is selective.

Disbarred for telling the truth??

He told the truth to the Celtics. Don't be mad. Nothing he's doing is illegal.

Y'all just seem mad. It's kinda funny.

Meh. Agents do this shit all the time.

Now we have Twitter.

Stern didn't do shit about agents then and there's nothing to do now.

Now you know what's happening behind the scenes because of social media.

I can not really like any of them though... I'm actually not really disgusted with any of them either, they're doing what they get paid to do.

Having disgust for and actively ranting about it are 2 different different things. MFs are in here just seem mad.

Bro, cats in here are salty AF right now.

Even with the minimal chance that AD comes here...

I mean, I think in someways what AD, LAL, and RP did to new orleans this year was like cold as ice... Derailed their entire season, have plummeted his trade value by actively chasing teams off, but if AD is telling his agent find a way to get me to this place than his agent is doing his job.

Why do we act like this has never happened though?

Like I said above, now we have Twitter.

What kind of advice do you think Brett Favre's agent was giving him?

This stuff is nothing new.

I get that it appears that way. I don't know if there's anything really wrong with it though. I think it's just different, for a long time it's been the players wielded power but didn't know how much they had, and were kind of told how and when they could use it. The teams/league kind of held the keys, LBJ has kind of paved the way for players to understand what kind of power they actually have. Rich Paul, in my opinion, is definitely an extension of that. I think what we've learned the last few years is that the NBA (and even in other sports but not as much) its players, it's fans, it's teams, it's agents are all definitely out for their own interests and while it's always been that way everyone's kind of shoved aside any subtlety about it. We have a guy in Kawhi now about to win a championship saying he doesn't really care about the fans at all, and it's alright he doesn't have to, but it's different, things have changed.

I think what ultimately is scary isn't that things are changing but now we have.
The NBA - looking out for themselves.
The Players - Looking out for themselves.
The Teams - Looking out for themselves.
The Agents - Looking out for themselves
The Fans, etc, everyone is looking out for themselves because history has shown in the high stakes game of pro sports there is so much money involved that if they don't look out for their own interests they'll get taken advantage of by other people out to, "get theirs".

The problem is at the end of the day they all need each other to some extent, and if they publicly start cannibalizing themselves they'll all collectively take each other down, while "looking to get theirs".

It isnt new but everything is just out in public more, thats why I said what I said up there.
 
I think this is going to be a fun offseason. The Blazers should be on terrific footing whether they get AD or not. You either add a second first-team all-NBA player to your starting five or you are one of the few teams that pretty much returns intact and can hit the ground running. If the Warriors break up, everything's wide open, presuming the Clippers or Lakers don't hit the jackpot.

Not sure I agree with you on this. They have to make some moves to stay intact they'll lose at least one of the 3 (between curry, Kanter, and hood), then we really don't know when Nurkic is coming back.
