Why did his agent screw him? How often do you see RFA's not test the market and get offer sheets? Plus, this is a guy who has been cut quite a few times and is cashing in on his good stretch of games. His agent should be getting praise for getting this kid $25mm. The Knicks offer was only going to be the MLE, he had every right to try and get more money especially since the Knicks stood firm on their "matching anything" stance.
