The grown men that make millions of dollars that keeping signing with Klutch do so because they believe Klutch has their best interests at heart.  Paul is aggressive and doesn't always follow the status quo on things, but he has also made his clients a lot of money doing things the unconventional way.  I mean they got Tristan Thompson that massive contract by holding out.  They got Davis to L.A.  Agents represent their clients.  They do what their clients want and take the heat for it. That is what an agent is supposed to do.

They do what is best for Lebron.  Was it truly in Davis' best interest to go to LA?  It certainly wasn't in Nerlens Noel's best interests for his agents not to return phone calls.  Was it in Montrezl Harrell's best interest to take less money from the Lakers, only to get traded a year later?  Marcus Morris didn't think that Klutch did right by him.

Klutch gets some big contracts, but every agency gets big contracts.  It's the nature of the league.  The only thing that separates Klutch is that they have one client that is more important than any other, and they have no qualms about hurting their other clients if it appeases Lebron.
Davis absolutely wanted to be in LA.  Harrell opted in to be traded.  He could have been a free agent and not gone to Washington.  He left the Clippers because they disrespected him and signed for the full MLE max for 1 year with that player option for year 2 (that is his words anyway, sounded kind of similar to why Ray Allen left the Celtics).  He obviously liked playing in LA, but according to him the Clippers didn't want him back. Who knows what happened with Morris as Morris backed out of a deal with the Spurs to sign with the Knicks against Paul's advice.  I don't believe Noel's story at all.  Nothing about it makes sense. 

He got some big money deals for his clients this off season, like Lonzo.  He has 30 players under his agency and is the 2nd ranked agent in the sport.  This idea that he just a Lebron shill and only does things to benefit the Lakers just isn't borne in reality.

Are you a Lebron shill?

I think they're an unethical agency that does what is best for Lebron first, and every other client second.

Do you believe this is the beginning of the end for them? Also, how does this simmons situation help lebron?

How do you guys figure? Is the agency not owned by LeBron? How is advancing his cause unethical. And why would that signal their end? :)
