An anonymous agent goes off on LeBron James and Rich Paul. The agent claims Rich Paul and LeBron hast cost their Klutch Sports clients millions of dollars. The agent is also upset that LeBron recruits players to Klutch Sports.
So, the “anonymous agent” first acknowledges that both Jordan & Kobe’s agents had the exact same advantage by having the best player in the league on their roster recruiting… but now Lebron, Rich Paul & Klutch Sports should be under investigation?
In the article published by The Athletic, the mentions KCP (just won a championship with the Lakers) and Nerlens Noel. Noel wasn’t a Klutch Sports client when he missed out on $70 million dollar deal with Dallas. Happy Walters was Noel agent. Noel fired Walters after turning down the $70 million dollar from Dallas.
The real problem agents have with Rich Paul is that for a long time agents were conspiring with poorly run organizations to retain their stars because in the end agents get their commissions based on deal size.
Rich works out all avenues for his clients and lets them choose. Player first.
Rich Paul’s rise to NBA power:
