NBA Fans were left confused after reports of famous agent Rich Paul’s next moves went viral on Monday. According to the reports, Paul is rumored to be trying to get in touch with Giannis Antetokounmpo, hoping to land a star to a new team soon. However, Fans remain skeptical of Paul’s moves, and with the recent issues surrounding him currently, their trust on him is at an all-time low.
User @MortgageSense83 doubled down, claiming Paul’s business is at the brink of spiraling down,writing, “Rich Paul is a toxic agent. I do not believe he will stay big time post LeBron James. Clients come and go. He smells toxic to me.”

Meanwhile, user @Dfs4Everyone believes that Paul has an ulterior plan on helping Antetokounmpo,commenting, “Leach Paul for sure that guy always looking to do some s***.”
Adding to the NBA Fans’ dislike over Paul is this insight from user @SamuelWilmer1, who pointed out to the Klutch Sports founder’s not-so-good history with handling stars,remarking, “He [Paul] lost ant and Trae to other agencies and has no good young players. Then he’s creating drama on podcasts.”
If Paul’s name ever comes to mind, NBA Fans instantly remember him as the agent of LeBron James. However, right now, that partnership is put to the brutal test. Just days ago, former Lakers president Jeanie Buss claimed that Paul and his Klutch Sports and James have been taking control over many of the team’s decisions. The issue went so viral that NBA Fans started pointing out names, and of course, most fingers are pointing at Paul.
However, putting that controversy aside, NBA Fans, given Paul’s track record, believe he is not the perfect fit for helping Antetokounmpo leave Milwaukee. While Fans do pity the Greek Freak, they would rather let him and his agents handle the work than the infamous Paul.
NBA Fans speculate Antetokounmpo’s future team
Despite NBA Fans throwing shade after Paul’s attempt on wooing Antetokounmpo, some couldn’t help but think that the Greek Freak could’ve chosen the LA Lakers, where Paul has massive influence at, as a possible new home.
User @itschrixtian10 didn’t held back and aimed barbs at NBA Fans, writing, “Laker fans that was hating on rich Paul stay on that side [laughing emoji],” believing Paul is steps away from achieving a miracle. Meanwhile, user @spacejamjerry claims there must be a sacrifice in exchange for Antetokounmpo, commenting, “goodbye austin reaves [crying emoji].”
While NBA Fans were left debating on where Antetokounmpo could possibly go, all eyes are on the Lakers, whether they will buy into the speculations and bring the guy into their team.
