He received no offers from any other teams and was forced to sign another one-year league minimum contract with the Thunder. Noel declined a player option on the second year of his deal with the Thunder and instead hit the free agent market. Paul is criticized for failing to make an effort to try to secure contracts or deals on Noel’s behalf during the 2018-19 NBA season he spent with the Thunder and thereafter. In the lawsuit, Noel makes some damning accusations about Paul's free agency strategy. Noel alleges he took the advice of Paul to sign a one-year qualifying deal to hit free agency, and when Noel got hurt and missed half the season, he ended up on a path of low-paying one-year deals until he signed a $32 million contract with the Knicks this offseason. Noel claims Paul was responsible for Noel passing up on the four-year, $70 million deal the Dallas Mavericks offered him in 2017. News broke today that New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel is suing agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports for $58 million.
