Janis is not his agent. His agent is the same as for Bertāns and a couple of others. the only agent Janis was for was KP. And even that is out of the picture now thanks to Cuban and Janis' broken relationship with a NYC model. He lives in Liepaja now and does not intrude with NBA clubs any more.

Losing Lin hurt.
Losing KP had nowhere near the same emotional impact for me, especially after we found out about the draft picks. Remember they weren’t reported until a couple hours after the trade was announced. I was almost relieved the FO had the guts to make a decision I knew deep down was probably better for the franchise long-term (I was conflicted as I wasn’t sold on KP and thought throwing him the max might be a colossal mistake, yet I wanted us to keep our homegrown talent).
KP was too cold, too calculated for me to feel emotionally invested the way I was with Lin. Linsanity was magical. KP and his brother were always a bit too political for my taste.

It may change as the season goes on, but the data on his jumper is that he's actually one of the worst shooters in the NBA so far.
Of players who have taken at least 50 two-point jumpshots from 5 feet away out to the 3P line so far this season, KP has the second worst FG% (.329) in the league - worse than Westbrook.
If you factor in three pointers and include every jumper outside of 5 feet, setting the threshold of at least 100 total jumpshots, he's 9th worst in the league, two spots lower than his teammate, THJ.

after shooting 43%, 45%, and then 44% with the knicks, he won't be a sub 40% shooter.
hence "isn't this bad of a shooter"

Ah, my bad, I read the errant "the" as a "that", meaning "he isn't that bad as a shooter", as though what we've seen this year is showing his shooting prowess somehow.
The bad news is that 45% FG on the season remains a lofty goal for him.
