Assuming a smart agent (which may be a bad assumption), he could collect the paychecks on time, reduce them, collect interest on the remainder, and then continue to disburse paychecks through the summer. And the player could be collecting all or some of the interest depending on the agreement with the agent who is doing the extra work. Now maybe, you are right about how the payout was arranged but I doubt you even know whether you are. Unless you know more details than I do, you have no way of knowing that.

The time value of money means that he actually cost them money by being paid the same amount at a latter time. Basically every player was giving his team a interest free loan...stupid... This isn't even considering the huge increase in the stock market last year This agent should be condemned not congratulated he purposely had his players get paid less last year so they could keep getting checks.
