It is not my intention to go into opinions about what he said. What is interesting for me is, that an agent is so publicly vocal. Agents are traditionally figures that move in the shadows and pull the strings in the backstage. Every agent has an obvious confilict of interest when discussing current players and teams, since he represents some of them and not others. Do you think this kind of public appearances make Paul more or less appealing as an agent in the long term?
more appealing to NBA players
He said something to the effect of "Milwaukee should ask for Jalen Johnson in any Giannis trade." Come to find out he represents Jalen Johnson and JJ is from Milwaukee. Paul is letting the word know his client would be happy to be traded to Milwaukee.
The commissioner's office doesn't seem to care so players and agents will keep doing it.
