Merry Christmas Lonnie Cooper
A look at Cooper’s partial client list…After writing yesterday about how “losing will not be tolerated” in regards to coaches in the League, I think there is no one more privy to this reality than Lonnie Cooper of Career Sports & Entertainment.
Of the six coaches that have been fired so far this season – P.J. Carlesimo, Eddie Jordan, Sam Mitchell, Randy Wittman, Maurice Cheeks and Reggie Theus – all six were represented by Cooper, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Wow.
While his current active client roster is dwindling, featuring Doc Rivers, Nate McMillan and Jim O’Brien, it wouldn’t be too far fetched to see O’Brien canned in the near future if the Pacers don’t turn it around soon.
What is going through Cooper’s head right now?

what does he care??
That means there’s vacancies and he’ll make a nice commission when a few of his clients get new gigs

He’s probably thinking, “I’m doing the best job possible for my clients. I get guys hired (and thus my cut of the contracts) even when they’re not any good.”

He’s probably regretting his role in forcing in big names and retreads and stifling innovation. No, nevermind.

The guys represets them, agent I presume right. So what does representing someone have to do with how their teams perform. This is a stupid article, and the writer of this is a pure moron.

And another thing you moron yahood. This article should be twisted around at how this guy can get nba teams to give them good contracts for their shitty performance. Thanks that makes alot more sense in an article than this crap. Who hired you to do this. Inside job, I know. You jews hire each other.
