Default [ESPN the Mag] Angry Dre's Uncle-Agent to Force Trade in Offseason?

Seems like a whole lotta nothing, but Andre Johnson's agent (and uncle) said some things out of turn in a cover story for ESPN the Magazine this week.

From the chron:
Quote:
In the story, his uncle, Andre Melton, who also serves as his agent, tells the magazine they have a plan to force a trade but refuses to discuss the details.

“That didn’t come from me,” Johnson said after practice Saturday. “I wish he hadn’t said what he said, but that’s his opinion. I make my own decisions, and I plan on being here until I retire.

“I’m not going to lie: He (Melton) has brought it to my attention, and he has a right to his opinion. I didn’t go to him with it. I don’t think it’s a big deal.” ...

“If he never gets a chance at a ring, and I let him stay, I’d be doing him an injustice,” Melton told writer David Fleming. “Andre has done everything and given everything to this franchise. At some point, if your best player becomes angry and doesn’t want to be there – there’s just something wrong with your franchise.”

If you don't want to buy the mag to read the article, you should be able to read it online for the next week or so here:

Starts on pg 52 I think.
