This would be a non-story if it involved any other agency.

If Paul George cut ties with CAA, nobody would give a shyt. No tweet would be sent. No article would be written.
People are obsessed with Klutch.
Rich Paul was chasing Ben Simmons around since high school, even hired his sister to work for him to seal the deal. He was heavily involved in the mental health spin they were feeding the Sixers and the media for almost two years. Ben was also one of their first major clients. This should be a news story.

Rich Paul also goes out of his way to be seen and heard, so he brings this kind of news on himself.

Ben will go down as one of the all time finessers :wow:

He's the next Bynum/Parsons

Got overpaid
Got injured
Stopped caring about basketball
I don’t think breh honestly ever cared. He was probably told he could make a lot of money playing ball because he was tall. He got paid, and can use the injury as a exit strategy.

Just dont think the dude is into basketball at least from a public professional standpoint in the US.
I forget dude only came from Australia to the US 10 years ago and right into the AAU/College/NBA public life and I dont think he liked or handled it well for most of the time and quit 2 years ago. Doesnt excuse it because he had the talent etc etc but I honestly think he never accimilated to public life playing ball

Y’all gotta stop. I guarantee the media does talk about when other agencies and players cut ties. It’s only a “non-story” because ppl like you and me don’t care to click, repost, retweet it. You can’t use celebrity and social acumen to do something and then say “hey media please only post the good stories about us and also hey you fans only engage with the good stuff about us.”

I bet Ben found out he got dropped from Klutch the same way we did. Ben ain't worth a phone call.

Dude has the body and athletic ability of an NBA superstar, but the heart of a straight up bytch. Ben is just unlikeable.
that would be crazy if true.

there was a period where LeBron was grooming him as his protege.

:wow:
