I could buy the defense if I thought Klutch did what they did for AD. The timing says to me they did what they did for LeBron. The Pels benefitted from it, they were the agent of change we needed, but this is still the same agency that miscalculated terribly on how much leverage Norris Cole had, and tried to force AD to Lakers when it was obvious they had no realistic shot at it working.

Pretty much every “good move” they’ve made for their clients has been to take advantage of leverage LeBron had. I really don’t see them as a typical agency doing typical agent things for players. That doesn’t necessarily make them a villain in my eyes, but it does affect how they do business which needs to be taken into account.

They would have been fine with a trade to NY, Milwaukee, and a few other places. Legitimately, as I can tell you they were talking to some other teams trying to convince them to offer big packages to get him out. So, how does that fit with your "Doing it for Lebron" theory? Rich Paul was on the phone with the Clippers and Knicks A LOT, getting them to call Dell. And Knicks offered some monster packages.

I mean no offense by this, but you guys simply don't know what you are talking about. You grabbed on to some narratives that made sense to you, but I can tell you for a fact they just aren't true.

But I am probably a fraud who doesn't know the behind the scenes stuff and your theories are better, so I will shut up

Precisely.

Who in their circle has benefited from this?

Lebron? Certainly not.

The Lakers? No

Davis? No.

They’re not even doing a good job on Lebron’s behalf. It’s just a weird position to have to act like they’ve been just killing it on Davis’.
