That said, Hopkins has had a fairly weird history with agents. I think he had one, fired him, got a deal done with houston, hired another one, got traded, fired that agent, got a new contract with Arizona and then hired a new agent.

So he may just be someone that pull all the levers and his agent simply reviews paperwork. If so, maybe you're right.

If not, perhaps wiser heads will talk to him about a long-term picture.

He's a bit of a weird dude like he said he wanted a stable team because he's already had 4 different GM's in his career.
