Very well written article capturing the strong sentiments of Pelican fan base and management, blaming the terrible situation the Pels are in on Lebron James.

Awesome read.

I think that's a newspaper rather than a fansite, isn't it?  I know they blend together.

I wonder how this entire episode affects Klutch Sports, if at all.  Will players like that an agent was willing to do everything in his power to serve a client?  Or will they instead conclude that the agent pushed his own agenda, allowing his client's reputation to be destroyed while not accomplishing his goal?

Hopefully, the latter.

Well considering Davis requested a trade weeks before the deadline, thus creating distrust and organized chaos in the locker room, both parties are too blame, so I definitely don't want Davis to be left off the hook, even objectifying it from a player to another player's perspective... Davis could have also spoken out, but it would've made the agent look extremely bad if two people had opposing takes on how to proceed with this developing issue.

It's based on your perspective, quite simply

The article gives Davis some of the blame, but feels that the push to trade him was driven by James through Paul.
