The Chicago Bulls are having trouble with their second-round pick from 2003 Mario Austin and it seems to be getting worse.
It is a battle between two agents and if everything isn't smoothed out, Austin might be able to play with the Bulls summer league team.
It started when his former agent Bill Duffy got him a $2 million contract with CSKA Moscow in Russia but after one of Austin's lungs collapsed and he returned home and fired Duffy for failing to inform him of a non-guaranteed contract offer from the Bulls.
Now, he has a new agent, Jason Levien, who "filed sworn affidavits from Austin and Jamie Knox in a New York federal court" on Thursday.
"The affidavits claim Bill Duffy, Austin's former agent, and Duffy's attorneys used threats to reach a settlement on a contract Austin has with CSKA Moscow, circumventing Levien in the process."
"A judge has agreed to hold a hearing investigating the conduct of Duffy and his attorneys on May 11."
