So players would then have A) A legit agent to process paperwork and deal with contract formalities and B) An off the board "representative" to do all the dirty work to tamper on their behalf outside any CBA bounds.
I guess the NBA needs to clean this up somehow, though I bet they are pretty happy with how the power disbursement went this off season if they were honest.
It will be interesting to see if anything changes.
