Via Haynes: “Sources: Oklahoma City Thunder superstar/MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has parted ways with his representation to make the bold move of serving as his own agent. #haynesbriefs

Many people reacted to the news.

Jaylen Brown: “Love this”

Numbers On The Board: “Shai pulling up to the contract negotiations:”

Daily Thunder: “a wise man once said “you don’t need an agent to negotiate a max deal with your current team.””

Sam Quinn: “I mean yea, when you’re an obvious super max player, there’s really not a good reason to have an agent handle your basketball contract. You can hire someone else for your endorsements.”

@JeffKCollins: “More guys signing the max extensions should do this. Agents are underrated for everyone else though, especially when you hit free agency or want to facilitate a trade.”

@nando17celtics: “Bros gonna come in the room and not say a word and his aura is just gonna get him the supermax”

The Thunder are currently the first seed in the Western Conference with a 44-10 record in 54 games.

Gilgeous-Alexander is in his seventh NBA season.

He has also spent time with the LA Clippers.
