Keep telling yourselfs this. And how high up is your "informant"?
Everybody needs to come down. If you guys witnessed the Bynum negotiations last year it was the same exact routine. Their agent, David Lee, is quite franky an amateur. He really has no clue what he is doing. Look at what he has done with the Ariza situation and look at the mistakes he has made. He is actually DRIVING arizas value lower than it is. I feel bad for Trev but its HIS agent.
Anyways...during David and Mitch's phone conversation today Mitch never formally offered a #. it was basically go out and gather up some offers and we will match if its reasonable. But David can't come back with a $6 or $7 mil offer, he is only getting a few MLE deals, not even full deals. He is spouting off to ESPN trying to get Mitch to panick and overpay for his client, but Mitch will not bite. So relax...Ariza will be a Laker next year...the reason this is so crazy is because of David Lee. If he isn't careful he is going to be blackballed imo.
This is what my informant with LAL told me about an hour ago. One thing I am worried about though is if Mitch loses patience and goes after Artest. The minute he offers Artest the MLE he is a Laker. If Ariza doesn't put Lee in check like Bynum did last year (Get a deal done with the Lakers ASAP or else...) he could put himself in a VERY VERY undesirable situation with less money and years then he would have with LA.
CALM DOWN!

I hope ariza is gone If he wants to get payed that much
^samezies.
It isn't Ariza. It is Lee. This source has given be accurate info in the past. I put my rep on the line. Ariza knows he isn't going to get 8 or 9. Lee knows it too. Lee is just trying to get every penny out of Jerry he can.
Go away Yankee fan.
Your source is a joke. Mitch is a joke. Where is Jerry to hold his hand?
Bynum's agent is anything but an amateur. He knows what he's doing if he got Bynum that contract.
Your trade committee is a joke!
exactly.
If Bynum was an UFA he would be getting max deals thrown his way right now from Detroit and OKC and Memphis. And I'm not going to say he got Bynum a bad deal, its OBVIOUSLY a very fair deal for an unproven center coming off an injury. But his tactics are very amateur like and not professional. Look up his past to seee what I'm talking about. And look at his WHOLE list of clients....4 guys...2 of which will not be in the league next year
:wgaf:Your trade committee is a joke!
If he was a GOOD agent...guys would be lining up for him.
He has no experience whatsoever.
I used to work for a sports agency so I'm very familiar with the industry.
ariza's agent is the same as bynum's? , expect a $10 million contract for ariza.
I never said he was a good agent, I'm saying he ain't no amateur. Amateurs don't get players who have never had 1 consistently good season a $70 million contract.
Is it hard to suck your own d*ck when you have a vagina?
And your full of meter rises.
Are you watching ESPN. Ariza said "I've been slapped in the face."
It's hard for me to suck my own because I have a bad back....
shut the up. link?
is ariza's agent also the same one as vujacic's and walton's in addition to bynum's? because they really got screwed in the negotiations. amateurs agents shouldn't be screwing their clients over.
It was on sportscenter a few minutes ago. Right before Fisher came on and said "I hope we get both of them back, but thats the way contract negotations go. Sometimes you lose some guys its a business."
Actually Bynum's contract is very reasonable. That's how much young bigs with potential get paid.
Come on you guys are better than this. Lee didn't pull a fast one on the Lakers re. Bynum. It was a fair deal for both sides. His antics and professionalism are SORELY lacking which will be the downfall of his agency. Look at some of the things he has said re. Ariza today. He is driving DOWN the value of his own client lol. He explicitly stated he will not take an offer back to the Lakers to match. Does a good agent say these things...honestly?
This is not Ariza talking. Do you guys really think Ariza is going to leave LA for CLE for the SAME amount of $$$ because he feels disrespected????
Really????
I thought this was a knowledgable forum!
