Nerlens Noel signed a 3-year deal worth $27 million with the New York Knicks this offseason.
That’s a pretty solid deal. It’s good, mid-level money for a solid player who excels in his role. That’s exactly what Noel is in today’s NBA.
But there was a time when it seemed like there was a much bigger payday in store for the Knicks’ big. And that’s why Noel is suing Rich Paul and Klutch Sports, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports.
In a legal complaint filed against Paul, Noel is claiming he lost $58 million in potential salary because of a breach of duty and negligence from Klutch Sports.
This is a mess. Let’s make sense of it.
