Is this good? Please explain why it is or is not?

It's bad in that Klutch is run by LeBron's old buddy and has a kind of gangsta attitude to being an agent, going all out for their clients and fuck the teams. It could be good in that if Portland is good to Scoot Klutch might send another one of their clients our way. It's a sign that Klutch at least thinks Scoot is headed for the big time. But let's just say I can't see a Klutch client (or should that be Klient) doing what Brunson did in New York.
 
Lets face it, rookies don't even need agents to negotiate their basketball contracts. Those are slotted. And for the most part, they player does not need an agent if they are in line for max deals. But every player needs an agent for endorsements and the like. And a player like Sharpe needs an agent, such as Ant, to negotiate their second contract as they are not max players. The general consensus is that Klutch does not believe in small market teams. Their job is to secure endorsements and that is easier if a player is in LA or NY. Laker fans are probably all giddy thinking Scoot will soon be a Laker.

Scoot has a large family that are instrumental in what decisions he makes.
 
Indy signed Cole Swider. 6'8" undrafted 4yr rookie in 2022. I didn't understand why Pacer fans were getting excited, until I saw Swider's G-League stats. Cole absolutely crushed it for the Sioux Falls Skyforce. He averaged 25pts, and was canning triples at a 50% clip !!
 
Warriors have big plans for Daeqwon Cook. Big frame 6'6", 25yr old rookie. He's why the Dubs let Klay Thompson walk.

Jonathan Kuminga Looking For Max Extension From Warriors

In the latest episode of Yahoo Sports' No Cap Room podcast, Jake Fischer reported on the Golden State Warriors plans with Lauri Markkanen off the trade market. With their young players still in the fold, the Warriors are expected to turn towards potentially extending Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody.

A rookie scale extension for Kuminga may not be cheap for Golden State. Fischer reported that Kuminga is looking for a max extension. That would see 6-foot-8 forward signing for just over a projected $224 million over five years.

Thus far, Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Scottie Barnes and Franz Wagner have all received max rookie scale extensions from the 2021 NBA Draft class.

Kuminga averaged career-highs nearly across the board last season. He put up 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. Kuminga also started in 46 of the 74 games he played, while shooting 53% from the field and 75% at the free throw line.
 
I would have a hard time endorsing Kuminga for that kind of money.

Curious if those t shirt canons can turn or tilt. Otherwise it'll probably be the same couple of seats in the area of the canon that get it each time haha.

Or one beer and a big thing of cheesy nachos.
