    I'll be interested to see if the Wheels at Work crew interviews LeGarie at Summer League again this year (he runs the thing).

    Man, if I were David Stern I would ban the guy from the league. The NBA holds all the cards.

    Can't really blame LeGarie for the Nets situation.

    By all accounts, Kiki didn't want to be the interim coach. By some accounts, Thorn set him up as the fall guy for the team's problems. In that scenario, any agent would have tried to save his client by getting him back into the job he signed on for.

    What evidence would that be? Whatever stunts LeGarie has pulled on other teams doesn't change the fact that in NJ he was doing what his client wanted and was in his best interest.

    How does that article contradict my point? Harris wanted out - or to be the head coach, depending on which paragraph of the article you believe. Kiki never wanted to be interim coach.

    The Post article contradicts the Ratner interview in one respect. Ratner paints a situation where Thorn used and mislead Kiki. Even if you take the Post's version, it doesn't change the fact that getting Kiki back into the front office was both his desire and in his best interests. It was the one thing that might have saved his job....so how was his agent wrong to pursue that?

    I was only bringing up the point that LeGarie doesn't exactly act in all of his client's best interest; apparently he frequently will play one client up at the expense of another.

    i hear kp overvalues his agents and doesn't trade them even when it makes his situation better.

    Nothing. Clearly there is no pattern of behavior here at all.

    ;) The more time goes on the more I see that KP's agent really fucked things up for everyone.
