We all know that is there were no rules and regulations with the NBA the New York Knicks could out bid every team in the NBA.New York is the Mecca of basketball. But all of the rules and regulations are made to keep thier foot on the Knicks and a few other team neck. Now we are hearing how certain agents are almost controlling some teams and thats bad. It is rumored that Jay Z is buying gifts for certain players and also college basketball players. It's not just in basketball but in other sports. look what happened to the Knicks. Chriss Smith Now it was suspected that if certain team don't play ball with the agents they have enough of the top players to freeze you out. I think it's time to regulate the agents because it's starting to get out of hand. If the NBA have a lottery in order to get players why can't we do the same with the agents. They are starting to stink with corruption.

I love Rob Cano, but the 10 yr $300 mill that CAA is trying to milk the yanks for is absolutely stupid and completely ridiculous, I hope the yankees stand firm, there's no team in baseball thats going to pay him that and if the do, good fckng riddance.

These guys are always trying to hand cuff teams into crippling there franchise for their clients..

It's time to start holding owners like Dolan accountable. The Steinbrenners learned from Arod. Cano will be lucky to get half that

Papabear - what exactly do you propose to hold agents and agencies "accountable"?

Accountable for what, exactly?

Why not just tie up his contract to match the performance of three players, if he wants to get full payment. I don't understand how these guys get paid the same amount of money, even when their production drops. As your performance drops, so should your pay check!

And baseball doesn't even have a salary cap. Melo will get the max WITH a salary cap!

In NHL a lot of players have no agents. This is grown man league.
NBA is another story. A lot of young talent is getting abused by a bunch of borderline criminals.

it is up to the owners to do something about it plain and simple... no way do I let any agency bully me. Heck the owners own the leagues...
