What value does Temple bring?

---

Dude has massive respect of players and the league. He is exactly what you want as a locker room vet.

You NEED a guy who is 10 years older to set a mature work culture for the team. Garrett is that guy. He is a coach on the court.

Resume:

CJ is President of NBA Players Union - Temple is a VP

Baton Rouge Native - Former LSU Player and legacy. His father was the first black man to play basketball for LSU same time as David Duke was marching around in Nazi uniform yelling white power.

Married a Miss USA who is also a Nuclear Scientist - respect

Smart and has a super high BB IQ and is a likely future NBA coach / possible future head coach.

Only dude who wears a suit to every game. And he bought suits for all his team mates when they said something about how fly he looks.

This is what you want and not a Memphis where the young stars apparently don't care what the vets think.
