His former agent will still get his cut.. I'm sure it was in the contract with him in fine print saying no matter what he'll get his cut..
I read the article yesterday. The agent is going to get his 4%. There are rules (laws?) designed to protect the interest of the agent so this type of thing doesn't happen. Essentially, the agent negotiated the contract, then Wiggins decides to ditch him to sign with another agent that doesn't take a commission on NBA contracts. Not sure if the player pays a flat fee or what.
My flaming hot take is that the Timberwolves messed up this off season by ditching the young guys route and rushing the rebuild. KAT and Butler are stars, Wiggins is a nice piece especially if he only has to be the third best player and second best wing on the team, Teague and Dieng are good complements. That's still not close to good enough to competing with Golden State. Should've stayed with the long game and continued to accumulate young talent and good picks.
He learned this trade from the leading toupee design institution in America.
Was getting ready to say the same thing. Agents get the most money on non-sport contracts, shoe deals, commercials, but salary commissions are set with little negotiation by the NBAPA.
How does that make the agent parasitic? Did he force Wiggins to sign with him? Extort him?
The NBPA is on top of things with agents, from certification to fees to everything else. Wiggins could have done all this himself.
But the agents earn their money on endorsements and other contracts with max players. They can make a huge difference in how much money a player gets.
Hopefully he always intended to pay the leach before he fired him. If he was trying to get out of paying the man, that's pretty poor.
I agree. Is 22-year old Wiggins with one year of college under his belt equipped to get the best deals? My philosophy is let the professionals do what they're trained to do. (Doctors, mechanics, dentists, electricians, plumbers, lawyers, etc.)
The agent will get paid on the deal whether he fired him or not. Services have been rendered. The NBA and NBPA will protect the agent because doing so helps protect the players and the league.
Nice try at backtracking. There is no way you can reconcile your first post with this one. You fully insinuated the agent was a bad parasite.
No but I do take offense when someone calls someone a parasite for doing a job they were hired to do. And you can say you aren't backtracking or that I insunuated more to your post than you meant but it won't make me believe you. Your OP says it all.
The job isn't "by definition" parasitic. Agents bring value to their clients. Are they paid too much in some instances? You could probably argue that. That doesn't mean they're just leaching off of their players. Again, they bring something to the table.
I'm parasitic then.. I feed off the talents of my plants I grow..
What kind of plants?
Somewhere MDwildcat55s first true love is cozied up next to a sports agent.
It's okay bud. Most people don't end up with their first. You'll find the next one. Promise.
Thought you weren't going to say anything else about it?
Nope. Wife definitey cheated on you with an agent. You're way too worked up about it.
I don't even care either way, just saw a poster lashing out at their insecurities and laughed.
If they all such bad "parasites" (they are not ) then why do soooo many players higher agents ?
It makes no sense to vilify and say all sports agents are parasites bc they make money off of NBA players / contract negotiations. It's their job...
And I don't think everyone is a "groupie" I think they are just confused as to why you'd make such a blanket and incorrect assumption of that caliber.
LMAO ... is this for real ?? Dude ... lol this is kinda ... cringe worthy buddy :/
So, because others have simply stated they don't think nba agents are scum parasites that means...they want to have sexual relations with ... an NBA agent ?? Lol... got it
