Why do guys sign with him, I wonder

“Betting on yourself” in the NBA is a great way to lose a lot of money.

I just looked this dude up and 75% of his client list are unemployed. No team in America or overseas. What kind of exploitation game is this dude running

kuminga might get some shit thats like ³⁄₃₀

No fucking way GS offered ⁵⁄₁₅₀. That’s beyond bogus.

Jakob Poeltl’s agent would’ve gotten both of them paid

he’s the embodiment of everything this sub tries to pin on Rich Paul.

Also Terry Rozier’s agent lol

People were slurping him on twitter for past two years when Kuminga was on the warriors, saying it was Kerr holding Kuminga back and all that’s sounding pretty dead about now. Talented player, teammates like him, but won’t accept a team friendly role and his agent is unrealistic about his value/creates drama.

Dude is like a little hype man.. funny enough it keeps costing himself money too.

Oh he has the same agent that Oladipo had. That’s a funny…coincidence.

Victor oladipo has said he did NOT receive an offer of a 4 year $112 extension here

And it’s more likely the clients that are the ones being unrealistic and not the agent.

I do not think the ⁵⁄₁₅₀ for JK was ever a real “just needs to put pen to paper” offer, but Turner seems like a clown.

Plenty of basketball ahead for JK, likely still gonna make some serious money, but it seems he may have to settle for a prove it deal this FA unless he gets sign and traded into an open exception

Completely screws you on your contract then you gotta pay him for the contract you do get. 😂

The warriors never offered Kuming ⁵⁄₁₅₀. Lol

He fucked Oladipo but I have to wonder if Kuminga was the one turning down all those options, Kuminga definitely sees himself as a 40 mil player and thought GS was holding him back from proving it.

GOAT agent.

YOU DONE MESSED UP AGAIN A-ARON

I mean, the Kuminga one is bad, but ³⁄₄₅ means he’d have gotten 4/65m having better on himself. You’ll probably take that low-side (I don’t believe he turned down ⁵⁄₁₅₀ from the Warriors. $150m from a team that paid and traded Jordan Poole and is one of the blue blood franchises in the league from an off-field marketing perspective seems impossible turn down). Oladipo was a miss though

The writer using 5 yr 150 mil when virtually everyone agrees there’s no way it was ever offered, should be a red flag about the article & the writer

Kuminga was never offered the ⁵⁄₁₅₀.

You can blame the agent all you want but the players make choices. All an agent can do is present choices, the decision is up to the player.

If you’re kuminga and honest with yourself about how good or not good you are you take the deal the warriors offered

Bad agents.

He is a bad agent

He may not know what he is doing

Only thing worse then Kuminga’s basketball IQ is his agent.

5 yr 150\( is not true from warriors sources. I heard the number was closer to 5 yr 130\), but was never really seriously discussed.

Fuck GSW dodged a fucking BULLET

Reminds me of that one agent for I think nerlin’s noel , who apparently kept ignoring phone calls from a team that was very much interested in him and he ended up losing out on like 50 million dollars in guaranteed money to sign for 5 million dollar prove it dealer or some shit

Horrible. Don’t let this guy continue being a agent Jesus.

Good news for Lakers

I remember thinking about Kuminga 3 years ago, By the time this guy is 26, he’ll either be an all-star or out of the league. Guess what I think now?

Tbh I want this post to come out after kuminga signs a 4 year 20m deal

One of the big issues with the qualifying offer is it gives the team you’re signed with a financial incentive to not put you in a good position to succeed.

It’s not just betting on yourself. It’s betting on yourself when your team won’t prioritize you over guys on longer contracts.

Dennis Schrodinger of agents.

The reversed Rich Paul. Talk shit about Rich, but he always keeps his client on the up during negotiation. Dude hardly ever lose a negotiation badly.

“Nico Harrison of agents” has me loling.

Goodness i refuse to believe this is true holy moly

At least give credit to the Instagram post that this came from

I mean this man must be very busy being in all those bands, he just released a record with Neurosis, give him a break.

Was he the one who messed up the Dame/Miami thing too or am I thinking of someone else?

Wait, who’s offering Kuminga ³⁄₄₅?  I thought it was just the Lakers showing interest

I bet Kuminga dreads being drafted by the Warriors. If was on a bad team he could have put up his empty stats and got paid. I’m sure he was looking at his peers who also got paid well

I mean it’s possible that these guys decided not to listen to his advice to take the offer. All he’s doing is screwing himself over.

Dennis Schroeder has entered the chat. If you have generational money on the table, you should probably take it. You never know if you’ll get injured imo.

No shot the Rockets offered Oladipo an extension near that. He played 20 games for them…

Kuminga did not get along with Steve Kerr and didn’t want to even really be part of the organization and wanted to be traded so that’s prolly he why he also didn’t sign with the warriors.

These agents don’t have as much authority as you think they have. For role players and better, agents are basically glorified assistants.

Has he given up using burners to argue with people on here?

It would be interesting to know if he had the final say on those decisions. I remember Noel’s agent was apoplectic that his camp didn’t take the 70m Dallas offer.

It’s easy to say decline offer, and player sucked so they screwed up.

You have no idea what the facts, so why comment? Victor got hurt. That wasn’t Aaron’s fault. Warriors didn’t offer ³⁄₇₅; they made an offer that created a high value expiring contract.. Did the Dubs make the right choice? When Jonathan was down with an ankle sprain, they opted to bring in Butler and sign him for 56m per. That made JK redundant but they also didn’t want to lose him without compensation. That also took them out of going after, say, Josh Giddey that off-season. Giddey was about 22. He might have led the league in triple doubles last year. Dubs preferred to sign a 36 yr old for 56M. The experience helped Jonathan. He saw Jimmy’s post up game and saw how Kerr was willing to post Jimmy and just space around him. Health permitting, JK will be a great contributor to whatever team signs him.

Do we know what he recommended to his clients?

An average player turning down 5/$150 is insane

⁵⁄₁₅₀ is just mad eup shit but cool post OP

As a Pacers fan, I’m thankful for Aaron Turner! Saved us from ourselves.

Why are you calling him Nico Harrison when Brad Steven’s was right there (and much worse!)
