    no idea why lebron hasn't muzzled this dude yet. no other agents hit all the talk shows starting s***. it's crazy.

    my favorite is his latest schtick, where he has the host make statement he wants to make, then he lightly pushes back on it. yeah, you totally got me there, bro. 5d chess.

    Lol what an idiot

    I think Bron wants to trade Embiid for 2/3 role player pieces which would be the best way to maximize their chances. If they turn that contract into Gafford, PJ and Naji, it's a much better team.

    I can see this being a talking point at some point in the season and this Rich take is not by chance

    No way in hell that doesn't create some kind of WTF is this now in Embiid's head with LeBron coming in and now already here is HIS agent involved (however) in that kind of stuff being put out in the national media.

    btw, as it says in the article, it's mostly just paul selling his klutch client (maxey), similar to what he did when he said lebron had more interest in cleveland when darius garland was there (lol, ok).

    Now Rich Paul is trying to suggest how VJ Edgecombe needs to play. If I’m his agent I’d be furious. Hadn’t been a Sixer less than two weeks and is already taking shots at teammates. I agree with every word Kwame Brown says here.

    Is it possible that Rich Paul is even more full of himself than Bron? Enjoy the final chapter Philly.

    If they boo Santa AND Kobe, I suppose Bron is fair game.

    Quickly on the '04 team: If Malone is healthy, we win that 'ship. He was that big of a difference maker, the heart and glue of that team. He bested matchups against TD, KG, and Yao (when on them), Wallace Bros were elite but to think he wouldn't have had the same impact is discrediting a few of the best big men to ever do it. It also changes how they would've had to play Shaq, spacing, physicality, second chance opportunities, and maybe Phil isn't forced to play Slava real minutes in that series.
    We took game 1. Game 2 was an OT game, can argue with Malone it isn't. DET still takes game 3. Game 4 was another close one, I think we could've won that one. Then it's a 3-1 series our favor going into game 5. I like the odds.


    On Bron, this is just cruel:

    Why didn't we get this treatment from the schedule makers?
