    https://hoopshype.com/reps/

    Hoopshype is pretty solid so I'm betting they're up to date. Just click on the agent's name and it will show you the players they rep.

    Seems stupid to me, but maybe fear of having to match a large offer?

    They have a lot of young guys that are all going to need to be paid?

    Same source. This guy have any juice? I'm just dubious that all the Gordon buzz today is Klutch driven. Like the Ball stuff.

    What if we lifted the protections on the first we owe Houston and made it unprotected? Couldn’t we then trade a first in another deal? Throw houston a second or something for the trouble.

    We definitely could unprotect it. I think it's funny that we would have to pay them to do it, but that's the way those go.

    Because his dad has persuaded him he is not being used correctly and as a consequence he is not giving 100% every night (or any night)?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Supposedly the "logic" is that despite him seeming to be a great fit in their young core, paying him, Ingram and Zion is "too much to pay" for the team results they're getting. Which, to me, is silly--if Ball isn't the reason for why the team isn't good (and he likely isn't--most of their issues stem from defense and Ball is one of their best defenders), then you're simply jettisoning a player who was helping you towards where you want to eventually get.

    Zach Lowe said if the Blazers strike out on Aaron Gordon Blazers could go after Norman Powell or Kelly Oubre.

    I’d rather not make a trade than trade for Powell or Oubre.

    It seems like basically everything on there is, outside of actual news, news. Scores, you can see, analysis, not so much. I wouldn't pay for Insider itself, but we have the add on from Disney+. Always happy to share the behind paywall stuff, makes me feel like I get my moneys worth, lol!
