According to Detroit Pistons beat writer for the Detroit News Vincent Goodwill, Brooklyn Nets guard Jerry Stackhouse thinks the NBPA needs top-to-bottom change, meaning the removal of not only executive director Billy Hunter (who has been placed on indefinite leave by the NBPA following an investigation into nepotism and questionable business practices) but also former NBA guard and current NBPA union president Derek Fisher.
Stackhouse, who does not have a role in All-Star Weekend, will travel to Houston during the weekend to “make his voice heard” to the players.
