Yesterday, I was involved in a great discussion about the NFL Lockout, which I will include a link to in a future post. I also had the opportunity to answer some questions for Marcus Shockley at Basketball Elite regarding a potential NBA Lockout and how it may affect players who are or may enter the […]

Yesterday we tested a new feature titled Agent Selection Scenarios. We started with a post on The Ohio State University. Today the focus is on the University of Kansas, which is currently #2 in the country. Here are some recent Kansas alum who are playing professional ball, along with their agents of record. Cole Aldrich […]
The Memphis Grizzlies finally ended up coming to terms with its first-round selections, Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez. It is still too early in the season to call their rookie campaigns a success or bust, but we can already call Memphis’ hard-line stance on tying the first round picks’ rookie contract to performance bonuses. The […]
What a week. If sports agents were not officially under the microscope prior to the Sports Illustrated piece that has consumed the world (check out posts from this week if you have not yet read the story), then there is surely no doubt that the profession is being watched now. Last weekend in Gainesville was […]
No more ragging on the Memphis Grizzlies…for now. Last week the Grizz finally came to terms with first-round selections Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez. No training camp missed.

Each contract is good for two seasons of play, followed by a club option for the 3rd season and a club option for the 4th season, should the club […]
I’m not getting involved in the trades hoopla. Here is the breakdown according to the team that drafted the player, before any trades were made. BDA Sports – 7 clients selected. Priority Sports and ASM Sports each with 6 clients selected. First Round John Wall (Washington Wizards) – Dan Fegan (Lagardère) – Washington D.C. is getting used […]
Washington Wizards: John Wall/Kentucky- After being argueably the best in college basketball for an entire season, he will rightfully go first overall. Philadelphia 76ers: Evan Turner/Ohio State- Even though Philly’s new A.I. keeps the sixers afloat, Turner is too good to pass up. Either Iguodala and Turner mesh, or they ship Iguodala away for a […]
We all do it, right? It’s the end of your team’s season, they have either been eliminated from playoff contention or been eliminated in a less than thrilling fashion in the playoffs, by for example, waking three sleeping giants in Celtics jerseys. July 1st seems to be the date that begins the changing of the NBA […]
