Earlier this week, New York Knicks big man Nerlens Noel sued NBA super-agent, Rich Paul, after he cost him over $58 million in losses in possible contracts. Of course, Kendrick Perkins chimed in and gave his two cents, claiming that he was lying about the whole situation with Paul. Well, that clearly irked Nerlens Noel as he quickly fired back at Perk:

Noel responded with evidence of the whole situation from a recent Bleacher Report article, claiming that Paul didn't allow the Knicks center to speak with certain teams who were showing interest in past offseasons, including the Rockets, 76ers, and Clippers. He then proceeded with a simple one-emoji response towards Perkins that will surely hit deep:

To be fair, this whole Nerlens Noel situation isn't exactly Perk's business. In the lawsuit against Paul, Noel claimed that the Klutch Sports CEO urged him to sign a $4.1 million qualifying offer with the Dallas Mavericks instead of a $70 million deal he was being offered after the 2016/17 season. Rich Paul also allegedly told Noel he was “A $100 million man” and promised he'd get him a max deal.

Nerlens Noel eventually dealt with various injuries and played the next two seasons after that in OKC on the league minimum before joining the Knicks in 2020/21. It definitely seems like Rich Paul has done Noel wrong, but Kendrick Perkins doesn't seem to believe it.
