MARK AND JOSH Bartelstein have heard the basic jokes a hundred times.
"Boy, with that [player name] situation going on, that next family barbeque/holiday/party is going to be weird, eh?" Well, sometimes the truth is stranger than low-hanging humor.
On Wednesday, veteran agent Mark Bartelstein finalized a whopping $99 million buyout agreement with his son, Phoenix Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein, for star client Bradley Beal, ending what had turned into a monthslong saga.
On Thursday, they will celebrate Josh's 36th birthday in Chicago. This weekend, there is a huge Bartelstein family wedding, as Mark's daughter and Josh sister, Courtney, is set to be married to her fiancé, Max.
