Washington Wizards point guard John Wall has fired agent Dan Fegan and his
team of representatives at Relativity Sports and plans to hire Rich Paul of
Klutch Sports, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. Wall
has to wait 15 days after notifying Fegan before officially signing with Paul.
Paul represents and is close friends with Cleveland Cavaliers all-star LeBron
James. His other 10 other clients include Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson,
Phoenix Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe and former Wizards center Kevin
Seraphin.
Fegan had represented Wall since he left Kentucky after one season and became
the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft. The decision to dismiss Fegan comes
after negotiations for a new sneaker contract with Adidas fell through and
Wall’s deal with the company expired at the end of September, a couple
months after Adidas signed Houston Rockets guard James Harden to a 13-year,
$200 million contact to make him their marketing focus in basketball.
Wall still wore his signature Adidas sneaker in games at the beginning of the
season for royalties but has recently been wearing Nike. James signed a
lifetime contract with Nike last month and nine of Paul’s other 10 clients
are with Nike.
Wall, 25, is a two-time all-star in his sixth season as the franchise
centerpiece for the Wizards. He is in the second year of five-year, $80
million contract extension he signed in July 2013 that took effect last
season after his rookie deal expired. He is averaging 19.7 points, 9.6
assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.1 steals in 36 games this season.
In August, Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan also parted ways with
Fegan after backing out of a verbal agreement with the Dallas Mavericks to
re-sign with the Clippers.
簡單翻譯：消息指出，Wall炒掉Fegan的決定是在沒拿到代言合約後才做出的。
Fegan從Wall離開肯塔基後便一直擔任他的經紀人，下個經紀人的頭號人選即是去年夏天
幫Tristan Thompson弄到5年8200萬大約的Rich Paul，Paul同時也是LBJ、Bledsoe等人的
經紀人。
RP討價還價的功力一流，看來牆哥是看上這的點。巫師球團應該要慶幸有提早跟Wall提早
續約，不然又有一場仗要打...看看當年太陽、去年騎士就知道惹
