Andrew Wiggins terminated relationship with agency that negotiated max deal with Timberwolves

Wiggins filed papers to sever ties with his representation at BDA Sports

NBA
Andrew Wiggins decided to fire agent Bill Duffy of BDA Sports after he negotiated with the Timberwolves a five-year, $148 million contract extension.

Per ESPN, Minnesota management sent Duffy and Wiggins a contract for a rookie extension deal, but Wiggins filed paperwork Tuesday with the National Basketball Players Association to terminate his relationship with the agency, Duffy told ESPN.

While a player can leave an agent at any time, the NBPA has guidelines that compensate previous agents for deals negotiated under their watch.

NBA agents can charge players as much as 4 percent commission on contracts.

"We are disappointed that Andrew made this decision, especially after a three-year partnership where we worked closely with Andrew and his entire family," Duffy told ESPN. "Unfortunately, tampering is a common problem in our industry, and that's part of the reason why I've already been in contact with the NBPA to discuss my rights in this matter. Obviously, whenever Andrew signs the max extension that we negotiated with Minnesota, we will work with the NBPA to make sure that our interests are protected."
