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.

Paul George isn't the worst contract in the league.

Paul George isn't a basketcase who is afraid to play basketball, who sat out for a year because someone finally stopped mollycoddling him.

This is less about Klutch than it is Ben Simmons who is having one of the weirdest career arcs we've seen recently in the NBA.

Not sure I agree entirely but you make a good point

that would be crazy if true.

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

:wow:
And the crazy thing is if Ben Simmons actually had the minimal requirement of work ethic, a fukking backbone, and some heart, he more than likely could have been a generational player and a top face of the league. Dude is an absolute waste.

They had a losing record if I recall and didn't make it to the NCAA tournament.


So no
Dude was a the freshman doing this. He wasn’t the number 1 pick for nothing. But somehow you knew he wasn’t gonna be good.
