It was reported earlier this week that this summer's group of major free agents are planning to get together and map out of their futures prior to July 1.

Bill Duffy, a longtime NBA agent, likened the situation to Batman searching for Robin.

"I think each player has to assess his own individual situation," Duffy told the Detroit Free-Press. "I think the reason you're seeing this synergy, so to speak, is that all of these guys are in situations where they are not winning, so they need a co-conspirator. I call it the Batman and Robin syndrome where some players are Batman and some players are Robin.

"If you look at the NBA there's never been one individual superstar to carry a team. Oscar Robertson teamed with Lew Alcindor at the time. In Detroit you could say Dennis Rodman and Joe Dumars were Isiah Thomas' Robins and Magic (Johnson) was surrounded by a bunch of great players."

Duffy added that this summer's free agent class is extremely rare.

"First of all, for the agents, players and the league and the various teams this is very unprecedented," Duffy said. "There has never been a situation where you've had this many marquee players free at the same time."
