But I do think this is a two-fold scenario. I think the main reason the agents are willing to give these guys interviews, and he said it himself, is they have "an opinion that really matters". In other words, what better way to raise your players stock in the minds of the lesser GM's picking 1 and 2, than to let them hear it from the guys they look up to, how great this player is going to be? So, its really a win-win for both sides. I'm not sure they are just going out of their way all because of how much they respect these guys. The agent/player benefits as well, indirectly. Still great to here Joe's name in that short list though. :-) I agree 100% on the respect Joe gets around the league, as well as the other names mentioned.

Most people value stability and for a reason. Actually this one does not only come with a good reputation but mostly also how long you are with an organization.
