That and the fact that Messing has zero MLS players on his roster:

As per my predictions:
1. Paulo Nagamura (Los Angeles Galaxy) - Not First Wave client
2. Danny O'Rourke (New York Red Bulls) - Not First Wave client
3. Jose Cancela (New England Revolution) - Not First Wave client
4. Adrian Serioux (Houston Dynamo) - IS A First Wave client
5. Nate Jaqua (Chicago Fire) - IS A First Wave Client
6. Rod Dyachenko (D.C. United) - IS A First Wave client
7. Jason Kreis (Real Salt Lake) - Has no agent, I presume
8. Tim Regan (Chivas USA) - IS A First Wave client
9. Ritchie Kotschau (Columbus Crew) - IS a First Wave client
10. Will Hesmer (Kansas City Wizards) - Not a First Wave client
That's 5 out of 10 picks AND the at least 4 already signed prior to the draft.
These guys do not have an outstanding amount of MLS guys - they only have 40 guys in the league by my count from their website.
If you have at least 9 guys already tabbed for one team after the expansion draft PLUS the potential Ronnie O'Brien trade (to make ten), well, that stinks of something. That's all I'm saying.
As a fan of the team, I'd be be watching that relationship very closely.... You don't want to limit your ability to get the right players just because the agent doesn't do business with them.
