I am torn on how to feel about Brand, but Falk reminds me that agents are basically slime.

It's real easy to put the blame on the agent in these types of things. . . but at the end of the day it's the players choice. When a baseball player signs with Scott Boras, he's making a clear decision what it's about to him. (note, big note here: I'm not saying this is a bad thing. The player has the right to do this. But let's not blame Boras when said player goes for the most amount of cash he can and ditches his current team to do it)
Falk didn't tell Brand to make the comments about him wanting to come back to LA. He simply got Brand all of the available offers together, and put them on the table. Brand will sign the contract, not Falk.
Imagine, a Duke PF screwing over the fans of a city. I'm shocked.
