For people who care about these things, with AD gone, we are down to Gafford and Lively being our only remaining Klutch players.  I wonder how smoothly the Lively extension negotiations are going to be if Paul and AD really aren’t happy about the trade to the Wiz.

Bagley and Middleton are Excel clients.

Jones (and Max Christie and PJ) are represented by Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Management.  Those three and Tyus’s brother are pretty much his entire client base.  Bradbury was with Duffy for years before branching out on his own.  AJ Johnson is represented by Duffy.

I don't think Lively should be resigned unless it's at a very reasonable rate. He's a younger Street Clothes at this point. He has a lot of upside and great character, but he's never available. Maybe a one year deal if they want to pay him and see how it goes, but I'm completely against a 4 or 5 year deal at large money. I know some will disagree, but you can only pay for potential for so long. He needs to be active. If he wants 10 mil per year or anywhere near that, he needs to find a new team imo.
