Dennis Robertson, uncle of Kawhi Leonard, has long been one of the more notorious characters of the NBA, but the way in which he did business has received an increase in attention in the midst of accusations of CAP circumference committed by the Los Angeles Clippers.
When Robertson Leonard represented during the period of Free Office 2019, he asked the Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers for a number of items against the collective negotiation agreement of the NBA.
“There is no start and there is no end to what he would ask,” said a director who is involved in the negotiations. “… there is a bizarre expectation, no right, but as a willingness to ask crazy things.”
Although many representatives of players will make these kinds of requests from teams, the courage of what Robertson asked to separate him.
“There was no one who ruled him,” said a cop. “… he worked without crashrails.”
The Lakers repeatedly told Robertson that his requests were against the NBA rules. Jeanie Buss even told Robertson that he should try to agree other teams in writing with his conditions, which was intended to underline the absurdity of his requests.
Some sources told the athletics that they were amused by the courage of Robertson, while others expressed hostility.
“I was amused by it,” said a former team employee. “I appreciated the hustle and bustle of” he is my cousin, he is the leader of the team and we want everything. “
Robertson is not a registered agent, but he has an extensive background in business.
“He is a refined man and a smart guy and aggressive,” said a former GM about Robertson. “If he asked for things and did things; I think it is not so much a bit of a bit when he is positioned as being. If he was an insider and a traditional agent, everyone would say,” Agents always do this. ” But the framework makes him different.
One team source told the athletics that it was not so much not so much the fact that Robertson was the issue as the fact that he did not stop making it.
“They never went against each other,” said a competition source that worked with Leonard. “They are one and the same in my mind. But Uncle Dennis doesn’t mind being the bad guy.”
