Well, clearly had the best care in the world as she was cured just a few months later of the cancer. yeah...he used his daughter's sob story as a pawn. totally did.
If I were Cuban I'd still be blasting Lamar Odom in the media. Cuban withheld Don Nelson's pay and Nelson sued him, so why didn't Cuban do the same with Odom? And Fisher. Why is Cuban such a softy about Lakers?
Cuban finally says something. It's very mild. I hope he says a lot more. http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2013/02/26/sarcastic-cuban-fires-shots-at-fisher/
Well, it's not like it was a meaningful player that "jilted" the Mav's. Let's be honest, Fisher is pretty useless at this point. Hell, he was pretty useless in his last few years with the Lakers. He just got the benefits that come along with being apart of those Laker squads. If he and Chucky Atkins switched careers, no one would know the difference, except for the name on the front of the jersey.
Somebody should tell him that even though OKC is West of Dallas, it's 67 miles farther from home (Los Angeles). Has he given his daughter a job with the Players' Union yet?
First of all, it's "Fisher". Second, who's the victim here? Every time Fisher has left a team, it's been by mutual agreement, and his contract has been annulled. I like Cuban's sarcasm, but I'm not going to feel sorry for him. He needs to stop trying to get a touch of that ol' Laker magic. Teams who've hired Fisher have instantly improved - Golden State, Utah. And when the Lakers let him go, they sucked. OKC got to the finals with him. Obviously he's worth the risk. And it's not much of a risk anyway, because when he leaves, he agrees that you don't have to pay him any more! It's not even a buyout!
Years ago Fisher was an average player who was fortunate enough to hang on the coattails of really food teams. He's been nearly useless for quite some time.
LOL, I assume you're joking. Sure, when the Lakers let Fisher go, they went from 56-26 and making the finals to a 34-48 lottery team. Of course, you also neglected to mention they also lost a few other guys, too. Namely: Shaq Phil Jackson Karl Malone Gary Payton Horace Grant But yeah, I'm sure losing Fisher was the reason for their decline. BNM
Then why does he have to lie about it (it's the lying that hurts!)? Why does he use his family as an excuse to move on to a situation better suited to his goal of winning another ring? Why lie to the team he's leaving and why lie in the press? Sure, it sounds a lot better to say: "I'm leaving to spend more time with my family" than to say, "I don't think my current team has a shot at a ring, so I want to go someplace that does". Except, when the former ends up being a flat out lie. Seriously, if Fisher is such a devoted family man would he really have grown tired of spending time with his family after only 2 months, relocate 1300 miles away and be on the road from February - June? If his kids really needed him, wouldn't he have stayed with them in Los Angeles? It's the lying and using his kids as an excuse for reneging on his contract that makes him a scumbag - that and the fact that he once, make that twice, wore the piss and purple. BNM
He also requested a trade from the Warriors when he started losing minutes to Monta Ellis (Baron Davis taking lionshare of PG minutes). When the Warriors traded him to Utah for a big pile of shit he publicly complained that the Warriors didn't trade him to one of the destinations he wanted to go to. And yeah, hes always diplomatic and sort of makes it hard to trash him, but he seems incredibly disingenuous in his actions as far as manipulating his situation around the league. I met him at an autograph signing VERY briefly and he seemed like the great guy that everyone seems to say he is. But I still don't like the fact that he manipulates situations that he doesn't like.
Yet teams with a shot at a title still want him. His USG% is miniscule for a SG, which he is, at this point of his career. PER for specialists is meaningless.
