[外電] Paul joins LeBron’s marketing company
After working for years to lure him away, LeBron James(notes) has finally
attracted a star athlete to his LRMR marketing company: New Orleans Hornets
point guard Chris Paul(notes).
James and LRMR CEO Maverick Carter have been recruiting Paul for more than
two years to join their fledgling marketing company, and the All-Star guard
finally informed his agency at Octagon that he had decided to leave.
LRMR has yet to make a formal announcement that Paul will be joining them,
and sources believed they might have been waiting to use James’ Thursday
night free-agent announcement as a backdrop to release the story.
“He’s left Octagon,” Paul’s agent Jeff Austin told Yahoo! Sports. “We’
re proud of the work we did with him over the past five years. We wish him
nothing but the best.”
James has been using his own reps – Leon Rose and William Wesley – to help
shop Paul for trades this offseason, with Wesley telling teams that a key to
signing James as a free agent would be cutting a deal for Paul.
Austin and agent Lance Young negotiated Paul a four-year, $68 million max
deal with the Hornets. Paul can be opt out to become a free agent in 2012.
Paul had several national endorsements through Octagon, including Right Guard
and Nike Jordan Brand.
Paul has been with James in Akron, Ohio, this week, where the two friends
have been working out at James’ national All-Star high school basketball
camp.
