Derek Fischer was playing for Dallas earlier this year, then asked them to release him because of a knee problem. Now that his knee is good again, does he rejoin Dallas? No, he signs a deal with OKC!!! As he puts it, he thinks he deserves a chance to win his sixth championship ring. This guy is a major jerk, and I'll be rooting extra hard against the Thunder now that he is there.
Derek Fisher has always been one of my least favorite players in the NBA. I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM
Dallas actually released him back in December, at Fisher's request. After the injury, he told them: What Mark Cuban didn't realize is that to Derek Fisher home means: wherever I have the best chance of winning a ring with the least amount of effort; and family means: teammates whose coattails I can ride. BNM
BTW, when is Mark Cuban going to wise up and realize signing ex-Lakers is a big mistake. First Lamar Odom and now Derek Fisher. All former Lakers come with a huge sense of entitlement that prevents them being loyal to anyone but themselves. Sure, they'll sign the contracts and take Cuban's money - until something better comes along. BNM
I don't understand why anyone would want him on their team any more anyways. Dallas wins by him going to OKC.
I've stated this before, but he's the guy in the league I hate the most....freshman year he was shooting around at my college and him and his trainer kicked me off the student court to work on shit. fuck him.
I hope his daughter is doing fine and gets the best care possible, but I always thought it was weird that when he got out of his Utah deal, he went to the Lakers instead of Memphis. Not only is he from the area, but Memphis has maybe the premier children's cancer hospital in the country, St. Jude's. Yet somehow he winds up playing in LA...? It always seemed very disingenuous to me.
