In a surprising, and rarely seen, move, SFX Sports Group and agent Rob Pelinka have decided to "fire" embattled free-agent power forward Carlos Boozer after he was accused of misleading the Cleveland Cavaliers before negotiating a six-year, $68 million offer with the Utah Jazz.

I've never heard of an agent "firing" a client.

I may hate dook but if anyone thinks that Pelinka didn't know what was going on, is kidding themselves.

He's trying to save his career after he realized how people are reacting...

:lol1: LOL!!!!! An agent can't "fire" a player, but they can quit.

I agree. How often do clients negotiate their own contracts without the agent knowing anything about it?
