Nerlens Noel signs with LeBron James’ agent, per report

Finally, there is some movement on the Nerlens Noel front.

Noel has not signed whatever offer Dallas has supposedly presented, but according to Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders, the 23-year-old big man has hired Rich Paul of Klutch Sports for representation.

Noel joins players such as LeBron James, John Wall, Ben Simmons and Tristan Thompson as players represented by Paul. Paul is also LeBron James’ business partner and close friend, which may or may not end up meaning anything but is something worth pointing out.

In terms of how Paul operates, Tristan Thompson most notably held out part of training camp before signing in October of 2015 to a four year, $82 million deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
