I guess I am just still angered about how this whole thing played out that I cannot get over the way that Arthur slipped. Teams should have done their own research, but above all, you cannot let your client slip due to a rumor. I don't need to know every time my client wipes his ass, but I can tell you that I would make sure to dispel any hint of a bad rumor circulating that could end up costing my client over a million bucks.

The Timberwolves, for instance, can attest to what numerous front office slip-ups do to its fans.

And what fiduciary duty do the teams and scouts owe Arthur? NONE. His agent, on the other hand, is employed to make sure that slip-ups like this do not happen. If a team listens to a rumor, shame on them, but as an agent, you need to do everything that you can to make sure any rumor is dispelled. Hey now, don’t count Tyrus Thomas out just jet!
