Willie Reed reportedly filed $13.5 million arbitration claim against agent Andy Miller

Clippers big man Willie Reed has filed a $13.5 million arbitration claim, alleging he was defrauded by Andy Miller’s agency.

Per ESPN, Los Angeles Clippers center Willie Reed filed the claim in part because of Christian Dawkins, one of the 10 people arrested on federal corruption charges on Tuesday. Dawkins was reportedly terminated by Miller and his company, ASM, in early May following a National Basketball Players Association probe into the unauthorized use of a player's personal credit card.

However, Dawkins remained the primary ASM representative for Reed and other players.

Dawkins, sources say, advised Reed to turn down a preliminary three-year, $15 million deal by the Miami Heat early in the free-agency juncture with the promise of a larger market opening up for his services.
That never occurred.

Reed had declined a $1.6 million 2017-18 player option to hit unrestricted free agency last summer. He ended up signing with the Clippers for one year, $1.5 million in early August.
