Durant Leaves Pelinka For Jay-Z's Agency
 

 ​

Kevin Durant will leave agent Rob Pelinka to sign with Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports.
 
"He doesn't want a traditional NBA agent anymore," a source told Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.
 
Durant seeks an opportunity to have Jay-Z handle his branding.
 
"He had a chance to be with his idol and couldn't say no," said a source.
 
Durant was represented by Aaron Goodwin when he entered the NBA, making Jay-Z's agency his third representation.

With Kevin Durant headed toward hiring Jay-Z of Roc Nation Sports as his agent, NBA executives and agents wonder if the agency could push Durant out of the Oklahoma City Thunder and toward big markets such as New York or Los Angeles.
 
Durant is signed with the Thunder through 2015-16.
 
Durant had been with Rob Pelinka of Landmark Sports.

i said this before and i dont think it's about roc nation but more about okc not being able to get over the hump.

They're still a low post option away.  They REALLY need to go after Carl Landry this offseason.

 

[Pugz]

they need a starting low post threat and they wont get that until perk is gone and they LOVE him so hes the starting center for a while imo

I can't understand why they like him so much.

Great locker room guy, good defenders against big centers like Dwight, Bynum, and Hibb

I can't understand why they like him so much.
