Fisher Bought Out By Houston

March 18 at 4:17pm CST By Michael Pina


Derek Fisher has officially reached a buyout agreement with the Rockets, and is expected to hit free agency once he clears waivers, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski. In one of the more surprising deals that went down before the deadline, the 37-year-old point guard was dealt to Houston for Jordan Hill and a top-20 protected first round draft pick after the Lakers acquired Ramon Sessions in a separate move.

The Rockets appeared to be in need of another point guard while Kyle Lowry recuperates from a bacterial infection, but they instead chose to sign Courtney Fortson from the D-league.

At this stage in his career, Fisher is seen as one of the weaker guards in the league, but due to this experience in big games (five championships with the Lakers since 2000) he could sign on with a contender upon becoming a free agent. He'll be available to sign with any team except the Lakers due to a new rule in the CBA.

Meh,

He might deserve at least a phone call. Just to mess with JL3 a bit.

Yes. He is better than Mike James and his leadership and championship experience could help in the playoffs. He knows he wouldn't be playing big mins. I wouldn't want him going to Miami and influencing LeBron.

He's at the end of his playing career, but Derek Fisher might actually help a team like the Bulls, Heat, Thunder or Spurs hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June and then retire with another Championship ring. Wouldn't it be something if he stays in Los Angeles and signs with the rival Clippers?

Not Bulls.

Bobcats?

He'd be their 6th man!

it's fitting that you, of all people, are one who worries about whose influencing your boy bron bron!

He's worse than every player on the Bulls roster. It makes no sense to make your roster worse in exchange for some vague notion of leadership, especially since the Bulls don't need a veteran presence.

That experience and leadership goes a long way. It could make a huge difference in the playoffs and he's a guy that can knockdown shots unlike White Mamba and Mike James. He brings some toughness that the Bulls lack. He would be a great guy to have and I want the Bulls to sign him.

Somebody better fucking sign him, because I have him on my fantasy team.

he'd help the bulls more than Watson, JL3 or Mike James but I hate his guts. One of the idrties players in the league since John Stockton.

Didn't Mike James win a championship with the Pistons along with Rip Hamilton? it's like someone once said that if all a player has are intangibles then he's really better off being a coach.

How would he help the Bulls more than Watson? That's a ridiculous statement.
