Kawhi is a SF too. He just plays with another SF.

What would be your first purchase after signing a max contract extension?

At any rate, I think we have Luka at 85% to someday look forward to. The longer he’s a professional I just think the issue will work itself out: via a lot of repetition.

Luka delivered his message to Pat in person

I'm just picturing Luka waking up at the age of 22, making a cup of coffee, and thinking "you know, all of these financial opportunities are a lot to manage. I could really use a bigger team of agents."

Luka Doncic has signed with WME Sports for all areas of his representation.
Doncic is represented on the court by Bill Duffy and Quique Villalobos at BDA Sports Management.
“I’m excited,” Doncic said. “WME Sports has so much to offer, and I know they’re the perfect partner to help me achieve all of my goals off the court.”
Endeavor acquired a stake in BDA Sports in December.


This is from RealGM, I am not sure who does it mean, Is Bill Duffy now Luka agent or not?

My understanding is that Duffy manages "basketball" stuff (contract, relation with team), while WME manages the business side (sponsorships, investments,...)

Duffy still represents Doncic for basketball stuff. In fact, Duffy is a "strategic advisor" to WME. So it's really all still in-house -- it's just that the house is bigger than before.

What kind of bite does this take out of his earnings? 10%? 20%? More?

And who makes sure they aren't investing poorly?
