He has switched from David Falk to Kevin Bradbury of BDA sports. How will this affect talks this summer? I know Falk is quite a hard bargainer and likes to drive the price of his guys up, so is this a plus? On the other hand I know nothing of Kevin Bradbury so..

As I've said all along I'd happily have Turner back for $10m per on a long term deal

Turner's contributions were underrated.  If we don't land any stars, we should try to bring him back for sure.

Amir's agent. It doesn't look like a move that changes our leverage during contract negotiations. If there are any negotiations that is.

Probably hurt Sullinger's stock with us, isn't his agent Falk?  Now no combo deal with ET and Sully or the agent using one to put pressure on us for two.   I think this helps us.

I think we'll for sure lose ET... he's going to get PAID this year. He deserves it too.

I'm slowly resigning myself to that too. I feel that the only way he'll come back is if a big trade goes down on draft night leaving our guard rotation short. Otherwise it'll cost us too much

It might be that he was willing to take a paycut to go back to Boston, but the agent didn't want that because then his piece of the pie would be smaller. So he found an agent who would.

Great logic. TP

Some agents don't want their clients signing below market deals because it makes them look bad.  To me, that agent should be banned by the nbapa because it corrodes what it means for the concept of agency.

Well Turner and Amir have the same Agent, so that might be a good thing.... or bad.  Amir got 12 million a year.... but team option on the second....   So who knows.  Its nice as a GM to deal with the same Agent I know that.
