    Parsons: Team Captain
    Harden: Offensive Leader
    Lin: Floor General (should be! but doesn't know how to grab the reins when Harden's on the floor)
    Howard: Defensive Leader (if he can take it from Asik)

    It's hard to say.

    I think the leader will emerge during the course of the season.

    Dwight certainly isn't coming to be a patsy. One of the problems he had last season was being left out of meetings with Kobe, Nash and MDA.

    The offense is going to run through Dwight this season. If he plays well, look for him to emerge as the leader by default as the best player on the team.

    No joke, I really believe it is Chandler. He just does it in a smooth way, instead of a barking way.

    I'm going to say Dwight actually. He's a lot older than Harden. Equal in talent. I think naturally they'll look towards him cause of that.

    lol if you seriously think Parsons is the leader on a team with Harden and Dwight. He's just a chill guy with a friendly personality.

    people assume automatically whoever scores highest in the team will be the leader. This is not the case in Real World. Leaders are someone who has certain attributes and qualities, so he/she needs to have a balanced skill in his own profession as well as communication and persuasion. I don't see Howard or Harden has that kind of leadership skill, althought they both are superstar.

    The Rockets have no leader. We had a leader in Derek Fisher but we let him walk. Shame on you Rockets. ;)

    I thought it was known that Chandler is this team's captain.

    The leader will be Harden, Parson and Howard. People need to stop bringing up the past around here. Howard was the leader in Orlando, got pissed because in crunch time Stan would run his offense through Turk or Nelson.

    Another thing Harden from the start was the most vocal guy this past season.

    It is going to be like this, Dick Cheney = Harden, Bush 43rd = Dwight.

    Same person who leads the team now.
    Parsons will still be the core.

    Parsons and its not even close.

    Howard is a joker and Harden leads by example. Parsons is the longest tenure Rocket and by all accounts basically everyone on the teams best friend.
