When the Minnesota Timberwolves young star shooting guard Anthony Edwards dismissed his former representation in Klutch Sports, we touted that news as a very positive development for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ future. Why did it matter? Players who are represented by Klutch Sports Agency are typically paraded to the teams of their top clients, and that team is the Los Angeles Lakers.
The intention of Edwards when leaving his former representation was to sign on with WME, a full-service talent agency that represents sports, entertainment, and other celebrities. In 2020, WME acquired Bill Duffy’s basketball agency (BDA Sports Management), expanding their network representation to include some of the biggest names in the NBA.
