Mister Jones usually handles the agent chatter, but this one popped out fairly brightly this morning: Aaron Goodwin, the agent for plausible Seattle savior Kevin Durant, as pre-existing beef with Seattle management, according to Frank Hughes of the Tacoma News-Tribune.Goodwin and the Sonics have long had an adversarial relationship, to the point that I know for a fact that the Sonics did not pursue some free agents because Goodwin represented them and they did not want to deal with him.Luckily, Hughes goes on to point out, very little of Seattle's old regime is still in place -- only Rich Cho, the franchise's salary cap expert and assistant general manager under Rick Sund, remains. However, Cho was likely involved in contract negotiations, so bad blood could have carried over.
Goodwin is considered one of the best in the business (ask the Global Icon) and quite powerful -- even by NBA agent standards, so it'd be important for Lenny Wilkens and his new, still unhired staff to... not piss AG off.
As for those free agents Seattle passed on, invoking MLB's 'Boras Rule': Here's a list of Goodwin's clients. I'd guess it was Shareef Abdur-Rahim, two summers ago.
