Today Warriors star Chasing Dream updated his podcast "The Draymond Green Show".
Talking about the Grizzlies' previous suspension of Morant, Chai Meng said: "Once the suspension occurs, a certain degree of trust is broken. I know Morant does not have an agent, and I am not the kind of person who sits there and judges other people's business or what they do, because I don't know all his arrangements. But I say this more to let the public understand the operation of this industry. When you say that players do not Needing an agent and then starting to get into situations like this, that's where an agent becomes really important, not just in terms of contract negotiations.
"Because if things get to the point where, 'Man, Morant needs to be traded,' you need an agent with leverage to make sure that's being traded to a situation that's good for you, not just good for Memphis." If you don't have an agent who has the clout and whom the other side may need to deal with in the future, they have no reason to respect the interests of the player. It’s not just Morant, we’re talking about his situation.
" Acting in the best interest of the player, that's where agents really show the value of their commission.
"You need the agent to work the relationship behind the scenes, see if this is salvageable, call other teams, see which teams might be interested in Ja, where they need to push, that's where agents become important. So, I would say to the young guys, always be aware of these situations, and again, not that it's ultimately a disservice to Morant, but young guys, that's why you need an agent. "
