    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.

    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 ...

    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.

    BTW, for all those hesitant to trade CJ, he's only 1 year behind AD for potentially leaving. I dont think we give him another Max contract after giving Dame the supermax

    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.

    My sources are telling me ... AD is about to be traded to the Carolina Panthers for Cam Newton and a bag of potatoes ...

    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

    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?

    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.
