Rich “Klutch” Paul speaking with Suns owner Matt Ishbia ahead of the Draft. Is this legal?

Must have been tipped that Toronto wasn't picking him at 9. They were seen as a sure thing for him leading into this draft

 

[SchoolboyC]

Yes

That’s how it works behind the scenes, agents are trying to maneuver to get their guys to their desired teams

Why wouldn't it be legal? I'm pretty sure any owner can talk to the agent of the player before he's drafted.

 

[Voice of Reason]

you cacs and tethers really hate on these powerful Black men in their industry(Bron and Rich)

 

[RedBull]

Is this legal? Breh it’s how it’s supposed to be.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

I don’t know how common it is for the owner to be so hands on during the draft, but GMs and front office personnel are in constant communication with agents in the war room.

 

[Mike18jj]

yes this is what actually goes on

 

[Leonard Washington]

 

[Big Boss]

Yes

That’s how it works behind the scenes, agents are trying to maneuver to get their guys to their desired teams

Not AD and Luka

 

[ALonelyDad]

Most agents do this and it’s normal. This is his actual job, however they don’t have their intern record them doing it and posting it online

 

[Trojan 24]

It's only odd because Ishbia all in the videos like he Jerry Jones, this call usually happens between GM and Agents I assume

 

[duckbutta]

OP thought he had him one

Oh wait let me guess you thought Rich Paul was going to have himself recorded doing something illegal

As an endorser of all things anti Little Richard, this thread is crazy. He's an agent, bro. This is sorta what he gets paid to do.
