A sports agent claims a rival “lured” one-time client Mitchell Robinson with a $ 35,000 pickup truck, just before the player was drafted by the New York Knicks, according to a new lawsuit.
David Lee, who signed Robinson on September 19, 2017, filed a lawsuit against agent Raymond Brothers in the Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, accusing him of offering Robinson a brand new Chevy Silverado pickup truck worth $ 34,464 to convince him to leave Lee on March 28, 2018.
The following month, Robinson, a center, was drafted by the Knicks with the 36th overall pick in the NBA Draft. He signed a four-year contract worth $ 6.4 million, a deal that would have made Lee nearly $ 200,000 if his client hadn’t left, court documents say.
