The NBA’s players association continues to become a more important office by the day. With the player’s empowerment in full swing, the office serves as a bridge between the league and its most prolific employees. Due to such circumstances, authority figures for the association need to have the trust of the players and league alike.

For years, the duo of Chris Paul and CJ McCollum have led the roles in tandem. However, after a major health scare for the latter, strengthening the top was important. But thankfully, an immediate option was available.

After serving as the executive director for 2 years, Tamika Tremaglio resigned to pursue other opportunities. However, with an interim replacement in Iguodala, the association has a respected voice in place.

But, the interim tag could turn permanent if Andre performs at the expected level. With CP3 joining the Warriors in the offseason, Curry now has strong ties to 2 tenured members. While a strong brotherhood and bond continues to grow, the league could become a safe space for players.

With the players’ association effectively saying, “I Want Iguodala”, what do you think of the new role for the legend? Let us know in the comments below.
