little known fact, Plato's allegory of the cave is actually about an imprisoned NBA player who can only see shadows on the wall being thrown by his agent. Later when he emerges from the cave he sees reality . . . which is approximately $600k/yr. Plato had it right.
Legit agents such as Jeff Schwartz are probably already recruiting from lesser agents. Come be with me, you don't want to get DMO'd on your next deal.
Or perhaps Scott Boras is recruiting in baseball. "You want to play for money, or you want to play for donuts?"
Plato Quotes: Only the dead have seen the end of war. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something. You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. The beginning is the most important part of the work. One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men. It is better to play in New Orleans for Donuts than in Houston for Eight Million.
This is pretty much how I am looking at it as well. Rockets saw something, wanted to get out of it, worked with everyone to keep quiet to not hurt DMo's rep and both move on.
Plato was always right, of course. I just didn't know he had an opinion on analystics. You learn something new every day.
