Player agent Rich Paul will once again be raising quite a few eyebrows after his latest bold move in regards to the NBA.
Paul, who represents Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James caught attention since then launch His podcast with former ESPN host Max Kellerman led many to point out a conflict of interest.
On the latest episode of "Game Over", Paul revealed his true feelings about being the so-called Big Three in the NBA.
"I just think, we talk about the Big Three, right? The Big Three Is advanced. the big three Is Not three big name players. The Big Three in today's NBA are the president/general manager, the coach, and the star player. This is where the Big Three are focused. When you have that, it spreads throughout the team,” Paul said.
While the star-studded trio has long been a part of the league, it came to the forefront negatively in 2010, when James teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. He won two championships.
Now, the 41-year-old James has a talented trio on the Lakers with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
Paul said he was willing to turn the team's second-best player into a "great team president" and the third-best player into a "great coach."
"First of all, it depends on who the second best player is. If the second best player could be the first best player, like (Jason) Tatum or (Jaylen) Brown, then the answer is no. But if the second best player is not an All-NBA-caliber player, then the answer is yes," Paul explained.
Paul expressed some outrage in January when he said the Lakers should trade Reaves to improve their roster.
James, who has been with Paul Klutch Sports since 2012, distanced himself from the comments.
