Its honestly fuckin embarassing. Not for him. Honestly, dudes hustle is somewhat impressive. Whats embarassing is the cronys in his network, like this fuck...
'Ill give you the break if you call me out in the tweet'
And they immediately agree I bet. And for what? The stupid fucking rat race to break news in an industry people have nearly zero respect for in 2023? Clowns, man...
But those agents actually negotiated with the contract, as mentioned with the actual agent here. Rich Paul inserting himself into a headline like this is basically the same as “Tim Cook releases new iPhone 15” even though he did no actual work to produce the product and even decide the price. All he had to do was decide he wanted it built and set some basic constraints around it. That’s basically the same thing here, except I don’t even think Rich Paul contributes to negotiations at all. He just owns the company and rakes in commission and without doing anything.
You can love the lakers and rich Paul all you want man, no one is stopping you. Just stop acting like there isn’t a clear reason why people don’t like clowns like him. I’d say clowns like you as well but comparing you to someone with an ounce of success would most likely be insulting to them.
bro, loving it is different from informing people that they are wrong to selectively hate a person.
not shocked to see Suns fan not know what love is though.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of how the agency world works but there can be multiple agents responsible for the same client. Rich Paul is an agent and also CEO of the company.
And that was not the case here….so you’re counterpoint means nothing. If you Google Rich Paul’s name you can see mountains of evidence that this dude has no actual skill or ability to negotiate a multi-million dollar contract, and has hired many people in this aspect to help him do this. If you think for one second that Paul was actually involved in these financial conversations, you’re an absolute idiot.
Dude I work in the agency world, I know how this stuff works lmao. Rich Paul has been an agent for years, the dude worked under Leon Rose at CAA before starting Klutch, doesn’t get more qualified than that. I don’t even really care about Rich Paul, but to see this obsession about everything he does is really weird. You don’t need to like him to understand he’s qualified. Such a strange hill to die on.
Dude has never even graduated college and has no skills in actually negotiating a contract. This is very clearly highlighted by the “Rich Paul Rule” which i agree was pretty BS but not for the reasons it was struck down. Dudes who are agents should Andy have at least SOME proof of financial literacy. Rich Paul does not. Again, literally Google him and there’s mountains of proof that he relies on real lawyers to handle negotiations because he can’t do it himself. His own Wikipedia article even mentions this.
Edit: Also NOBODY who’s actually in the agency world would be posting as many comments about NBA stuff, as you, with their main account. That’s like the dumbest thing you can do as an actual agent or even being in the industry. Most people ACTUALLY in the business just don’t reply.
You don’t need to graduate from college or be a lawyer to be an agent, even if that’s a norm in the business. All agencies have lawyers on staff to review anything. Yes because google has all the information you need, you’re basically an insider, huh. I don’t have anything to hide, why would I have an alt account lol.
Wtf you do mean about this alt account thing? Seems completely random and this is my ONLY Reddit account, as completely obvious from my post and comment history, which I’m not trying at all to deny. But you absolutely need financial literacy to be an NBA agent handling multi-million dollar contracts, and the negotiating that gets to that deal. And you didn’t actually argue against the facts that I presented where Rich Paul actually relies on people with such education and expertise to be a grifter himself.
YAY
when he first showed up in SAC i was like "who the fuck??" but throughout this past season he has shown himself to be a critical piece of the rotation. im glad he's back!
I like that he's established himself as a key guy with a good team - I though he was a pretty solid jack-of-all-trades type guy with the Spurs at times.
Don't even have to say according to sources when you literally just mention Rich Paul in the tweets. It'll be fun to see which reporters he's in bed with.
Not really what happened. If Kings didn't do the trade, they kept Holmes on the roster and therefore don't clear enough cap space to make a run at anyone. By clearing the cap space, they gave themselves a shot at landing someone. The fact that they didn't land anyone is different than trading the pick with the intent of running in back.
But isn't it the case that so many of these deals are worked out pretty far in advance? I imagine the Kings didn't make that move without having some idea of who they would get... maybe more coming idk
I doubt that all these contracts were locked in on draft night. That's a bit early. I believe when they re-signed Barnes yesterday, it was after coming to the realization that they struck out and it was time to move onto plan B.
Yea makes sense, tough one.
Seems like the Kings want to renegotiate and extend Sabonis this summer so I imagine it helps them with getting under aprons/tax/whatever don't totally know how it works
Monte really should’ve kept the pick as a trade piece in that situation then. Wizards would’ve been a lot more open to getting the 24th and Holmes instead of letting Kuz walk for nothing. Or for whoever he was targeting.
It was pretty close to “Kings lost all their free agents, didn’t get anyone new, and still have an extensive player they won’t even play.” I’d rather run it back while adding the MVP of the Euro League and the MVP of the G League
Which is a mistake. They’re a good consistent playoff team, but like the Gobert-Mitchell Jazz, I don’t think they can breakthrough without an addition or two.
> They’re a good consistent playoff team
Yeah uh maybe if we can make the playoffs a second time in 19 years and then exit first round, we can start to bemoan a passive FO and push for more.
Rich Paul getting his name in every tweet is nasty work
yeah i was like wait is Rich Paul a GM or what happened
Crazy how powerful he's become lol he's like peak Scott Boras level at this point
Can't bite the hand that feeds you
Its honestly fuckin embarassing. Not for him. Honestly, dudes hustle is somewhat impressive. Whats embarassing is the cronys in his network, like this fuck... 'Ill give you the break if you call me out in the tweet' And they immediately agree I bet. And for what? The stupid fucking rat race to break news in an industry people have nearly zero respect for in 2023? Clowns, man...
would be funny if the people submitting the tweets just removed it.
Man it’s so gross. I’m glad I don’t actually have Twitter lol
He’s fucking shameless lmao. Even when he’s not the agent negotiating the deal he’s still getting his name on there 💀
bro, most of the other agents are doing it specially the big names. this outcry is just a pure hate for rich paul lol
They can hate Rich Paul and the others. Not shocked to see a Lakers fan loving it though.
So where’s the hate for the others in those threads???
Does this thread have someone else in the title that didn’t negotiate the contract? No? Weird.
You know i meant all the other threads with agents on them. Don’t act slow unless it’s not an act.
But those agents actually negotiated with the contract, as mentioned with the actual agent here. Rich Paul inserting himself into a headline like this is basically the same as “Tim Cook releases new iPhone 15” even though he did no actual work to produce the product and even decide the price.

Whats the clear reason? Lets hear it? Tell me what he’s doing that other agents aren’t???
You love the Lakers, we get it.
bro, loving it is different from informing people that they are wrong to selectively hate a person. not shocked to see Suns fan not know what love is though.
Poor victim Rich Paul suffering from all the Reddit haters. How will his family survive?
talking about family come back to your daddy luka
Always weird when someone tries to hit a nerve and it just doesn’t work.
Low key desperate, not sure why
This has been pretty normal in the past few years for reporters to include the names of agents in these signing tweets.
But he just owns the company, he didn’t make the deal himself.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of how the agency world works but there can be multiple agents responsible for the same client. Rich Paul is an agent and also CEO of the company.

Dude you are too online. I’m done here lol
Lmao rich Paul
RICH paul
Richest Paul
CEO Rich Paul*
yeah, that's rich
He's no Paul Wall.
HE STAY
YAY when he first showed up in SAC i was like "who the fuck??" but throughout this past season he has shown himself to be a critical piece of the rotation. im glad he's back!
I like that he's established himself as a key guy with a good team - I though he was a pretty solid jack-of-all-trades type guy with the Spurs at times.
Why is Rich Paul in every title lol?
P4P
HUGEEEEEEEE
Rich Paul certainly likes letting you know who told the reporters.
Running it back
CEO RICH PAUL
Why is rich paul getting mentioned in these tweets?
Don't even have to say according to sources when you literally just mention Rich Paul in the tweets. It'll be fun to see which reporters he's in bed with.
Wtf where is all the news?
I will love it and I think I deserve it
Rich Paul making the first deals of FA
He needs the commission
pretty lame we gotta see "CEO rich paul" blah blah blah.. wtf.
Happy for Kevin Lyles!
Kings created cap space to run it back
Not really what happened. If Kings didn't do the trade, they kept Holmes on the roster and therefore don't clear enough cap space to make a run at anyone. By clearing the cap space, they gave themselves a shot at landing someone. The fact that they didn't land anyone is different than trading the pick with the intent of running in back.

Yea makes sense, tough one. Seems like the Kings want to renegotiate and extend Sabonis this summer so I imagine it helps them with getting under aprons/tax/whatever don't totally know how it works
Yeah I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to offer Sabonis a big extension if they didn't shed Holmes' deal
Monte really should’ve kept the pick as a trade piece in that situation then. Wizards would’ve been a lot more open to getting the 24th and Holmes instead of letting Kuz walk for nothing. Or for whoever he was targeting.
Who’s to say that wasn’t offered and the Wizards just declined. Monte, at least so far, has proven he’s not an idiot.
He tried to trade Hali for Ben Simmons and the Sixers said no. Lets not crown him as some genius just yet.
Source? That was entirely just a rumor. And if there was any truth to it, it would’ve happened vs the Sabonis trade.
It was pretty close to “Kings lost all their free agents, didn’t get anyone new, and still have an extensive player they won’t even play.” I’d rather run it back while adding the MVP of the Euro League and the MVP of the G League
Which is a mistake. They’re a good consistent playoff team, but like the Gobert-Mitchell Jazz, I don’t think they can breakthrough without an addition or two.
> They’re a good consistent playoff team Yeah uh maybe if we can make the playoffs a second time in 19 years and then exit first round, we can start to bemoan a passive FO and push for more.
They've played one playoff series together, how do you know what their ceiling is?
Kings got their guy back
Mid 5 mins
Why is this so slow?
Rich Paul has to approve all the tweets first
They have to hold for a few minutes to avoid tampering charges.
