    This is what veteran leadership looks like.

    Great. As soon as he lights into Silver or the owners, all the calls will go against us.

    IB4 someone says the NBPA should've made Harden their President.

    Awesome for Fred, he really does seem like the type of guy who'd fight for his colleagues. I genuinely expect him to transition straight from playing for us to being an assistant on Ime's bench for us.

    Definitely a leader who deserves it. Very glad he is on our squad to help guide the young guys. He's going to make a great coach one day

    Seems like Fred would be an upgrade over CJ McCollum.

    From undrafted player to head of the NBPA.

    Hell of a career arch!

    hopefully it takes up all his time and he has to miss games. He needs to learn how to use excel and make PowerPoints.

    Nice perk to attract more vets to the Rockets. Bro is well liked by the players. In 5 short years, the Rockets have changed culture from the Harden Hookers to the Ime hard-nosed, hard-working holy terrors. Well done, Tilman.

    Isn’t the goal for this guy to go away? Last I checked, him fading away as Rocket and the emergence of younger players taking his playing time and salary is our agenda. Now he is the lead of the union. Self preservation is the number one human instinct. This has the potential to get missy quickly.

    Our coach has a past, our owner is now part of the government, our team is in transition. We will be going through a salary crunch in the next few years as our high profile players come of rookie scaled contracts. We just took on the one of the highest salaries in the league with an aging KD. AND our GM is a lawyer. There is no way everyone stays happy. Now we have the league union president in the mix. Get your popcorn and buckle up for a good time because something WILL happen.
