Roger introduced Eric Fleisher to Yao Ming, and if no accident occurs, Yao Ming will become Fleisher's second major client in China.
Why give business opportunities to someone like Bill Duffy, who has mediocre skills?
Roger has played professional basketball for eight years, and he simply cannot imagine what kind of agent would forget to respond to a team's offer on behalf of a player, causing the player to sign for the minimum salary, or else have no team to play for.
And such things happen to Bill Duffy.
For an agent, such mistakes are not permissible.
Moreover, being a "good person" is the least needed trait for an agent.
Almost every owner across the League hates David Falk, thinking he's a bastard who should go to hell. There is certainly no team owner or general manager who would say David Falk is a good person.
And this is precisely because he always manages to secure the most benefits for the players.
Sometimes, if you're not the bad guy, you won't get any benefits.
