Jeff Schwartz is a name with which Nets fans should be familiar. 

He was Jason Kidd's agent. He was Deron Williams'. Mirza Teletovic's, too. He's someone who has had some sway inside the organization over the years. But with Teletovic and D-Will leaving Brooklyn this offseason, it appeared Schwartz's workings with the Nets were done, at least for this year. 

Apparently, that's not so. Here's more from NetsDaily:

Schwartz has brought some of that old influence he had with the Nets to the Bucks along with Kidd. Keep in mind he is also a long-time friend of Bucks owner Marc Lasry and has multiple clients playing for Milwaukee. So, the Nets seem to be in his past.

That said, a player switching agents one year before his free agency is always a big deal. We'll see exactly how this affects Johnson during the summer of 2016.
