David Stern Blames ‘Greedy’ Agents

One of the ploys David Stern has liked to use during the NBA lockout is blaming the agents. Stern knows that nobody likes agent. If the NBA commissioner blames the agents, the public won’t have any problem with that. It’s a smart idea.

“By some combination of mendacity and greed,” explains Stern, “the agents who are looking out for themselves rather than their clients are trying to scuttle the deal.”

Stern also says the agents are using Twitter to advance their propaganda.

“They’re engaged in what appears to be an orchestrated Twitter campaign and a series of interviews that are designed to deny the economic realities of the proposal,” continued Stern.

Currently, the NBA lockout is in a holding pattern. The players are deciding their next move after receiving an updated offer from the owners. That decision expected to come on Monday. The players are expected to either accept the offer, decline the offer and head back to the negotiating table, or decline the offer and decertify the union.
