Williams’ Agent Keeping Busy

Agent Dwight Manley represents only two NBA players, but his phone has been ringing off the hook.

Manley, who replaced Fred Slaughter as the agent for free-agent center Brian Williams, said there has been a lot of interest in Williams.

“I’ve probably talked to half the teams in the league,” said Manley, whose other client is Dennis Rodman. “I must be on the phone a minimum of 25 times a day regarding Brian.”
