Derek Fisher’s days as head of the NBPA’s Union appear to be numbered as he is reportedly being forced to step down. That’s an interesting set of circumstances given the hours he invested last summer during the lockout. But a new candidate has emerged. Could Chris Paul be the new Derek Fisher?
The National Basketball Players Association Executive Committee is trying to push out its president, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Derek Fisher, for reasons not fully explained, with Los Angeles Clippers guard and committee member Chris Paul emerging as a potential replacement.
NBPA vice president and Washington Wizards guard-forward Maurice Evans told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday that Paul would have to be nominated and elected. Until that could happen, executive committee first vice president and Boston Celtics guard Keyon Dooling would be interim president.
