Charles Barkley Blasts Klutch Sports For Handling Of Players, Mentions Anthony Davis Trade To Lakers As Example

In the player empowerment era of the NBA, star movement has become commonplace, with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James opening the door wide open.

James wielded his status as a superstar to move to any team he wanted and built out rosters to his liking, oftentimes recruiting other star players to join him. James took a different path when he joined the Lakers, who at the time did not have another All-Star on the roster. But that soon changed after Anthony Davis forced his way to Los Angeles.

James and Davis are both represented by Rich Paul and Klutch Sports and the agency has drawn the ire of many for how they have operated behind the scenes.
