    Depends on the question. Recall that the thread began with these questions:

    If you're talking playoff basketball--which we are--I think I'd rather have Fisher over Scott, because they're overall comparably effective in the playoffs, but Fisher has also demonstrated the willingness and ability to take and hit the clutch shot, multiple times.

    We also shouldn't forget George Mikan and Elgin Baylor. The embarrassment of riches that team has had is insane, yet their fans are still whinny little bandwagoners.

    I have a couple of questions: First, why did Fisher leave L.A. for that short stint in Utah? Secondly, what were the circumstances that brought him back to the L*kers?

    1. Free Agency to warriors, then traded to Utah.

    2. His daughter had eye cancer, he wanted to be "near" a research center/hospital so he convinced the Jazz to void his contract. He was saying he was looking at the best centers, then two weeks later he was wearing the Urine and Violet again. If I recall correctly, people question that because his daughter recovered right after he signed with the L*kers.

    Byron Scott was a big disappointment. The Lakers gave up a better player for him, Norm Nixon, because Nixon was so good that Magic should have played SG if Nixon was on the team. Scott was a third the player that Nixon was. What bailed out the Lakers was that Nixon got injured as a Clipper and his career ended. Otherwise his starring presence in town would have been a continuing embarrassment throughout the 80s.
