Trey Lyles hires LeBron James’ agent

Trey Lyles now shares an agent with the best basketball player in the world, LeBron James, after signing with Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Management.

Rich Paul is a longtime friend of LeBron James — they met as teenagers in Cleveland and promised each other they’d make it big — and he became James’ agent in 2012 when he stepped out from underneath the wing of Leon Rose and CAA to start his own agency, taking James with him. Now his list of clients includes James, Eric Bledsoe, Tristan Thompson, Ben McLemore and, as of this week, Trey Lyles.
