Noel’s lawsuit, in part, reads as follows:
“Once the 2021 NBA regular season was over and the free agency season began, and with Paul no longer in the picture, Noel signed a three-year deal with the Knicks for total of approximately $32 million.
“Absent Paul’s tortious conduct, Noel would have signed contract with Dallas worth $70 million over four years. Instead, Noel listened to Paul and earned total of approximately $12 million during that same time frame and in turn, Noel lost approximately $58 million in earnings. Further, had Paul made any effort to work on Noel’s behalf from 2017 to 2020, Noel would not likely have been forced to sign series of contracts consisting of qualifying offers and league minimum deals that were well below the fair market value for Noel’s services.”
