Sounds like he asked to be let out, supposedly to spend more time near his family. Think we can convince him to sign here? I have a feeling he politely asked to leave the Mavs because they are not contenders this year, although the same could be said for us i guess.
Chris Douglas-Roberts is being called up to take his place. I'm a bit shocked that Collison and Beaubois haven't been enough to man the PG spot in Dallas.
-
Last time I checked, he had an injury that was causing him to miss multiple games. Also, we don't need him. If you thought Jason Terry was not sufficiently capable as backup PG, you're not going to like Fisher.
-
No thanks to Fisher. He's a good guy but he's done. If thats true, thats the second team he signed with and then decided he didn't like the location.

co-signed.
He brings nothing to the table.

If he brings nothing to the table, how did he start on a team with Darren Collison and Rodrigue Beaubois?

He sucked less than them?
In all seriousness though, Beaubois is not that good and not really a PG either. And Collison ended up playing 30 mpg either way.

I guess. I always thought of Beaubois as much better than that, but he seems to be in Carlisle's doghouse big time.

He showed some promise when he entered the league, but I think he has plateaued at a level that's not exactly great.

Rondo Pg backup...for SHORT MONEY..!!! He is good and can move the ball, shoots well....good decision making, think BACKUP.....i hate to say it...but injuries do happen, and rondo NEVER gets the call, but gets HIT and whacked EVERYTIME......( refs).

Fish was a great point guard in the triangle offense five years ago.
You know, when he didn't really have to play like a point guard.

There's only one French Jordan.

WHO runs the floor when rondo is out......exactly my point...!
-
He's a good role player and he's headed back to LA. Bank it. Stern isn't ready to hand the keys to OKC.
-
Derek Fisher ain't our guy. I'd rather have Johnny Flynn.
-
Weird. Went from being on the couch... To starting for the Mavs... To asking for an out? Strange.
-
Fisher is nothing more than a three point shooter. He made only 30% of his two point shots for the Mavs, who signed and started him to get some veteran play out of the PG position.
Dallas was 5-4 with Fish starting and 7-11 without him. Even though I despise Fisher for the dishonest way he plays basketball, I've got to give him some credit for stabilizing the Mavs.
Usually when he wants out of a situation that doesn't fit his liking, he uses the family card. Back to LA< if the Lakers want another defensive liability to pair with Nash.
-
No thanks to Fisher. He's a good guy but he's done. If thats true, thats the second team he signed with and then decided he didn't like the location.
I don't think "not liking the location" and "there's no doctors in this state that can save my daughter's life" are exactly the same.
I really do like the guy but I don't want to see him in green.

That whole thing with his daughter's illness was just a way for Fisher to get his way out of Utah and back to LA. Fisher is a slimy opportunist off the court and a cheating flopper on it. I hope no team gives him another shot to flop and complain his way through any more NBA games.
-
we have too many guards, we need bigs
-
Id pick up Fisher and then slip him some poison after about a week.
-
If this was '07, I'd have no problem with it. But now - no.
I don't know about his daughter, but I remember she had a tumor removed about 5-6 years ago, correct me if I'm mistaken.
I think the problem with him is he doesn't like being a players who playes the first 10 mins of a game and then sits the other 38 minutes watching Collison play.

I think he also ditched the Mavs gracefully because he knows they aren't contenders this year.
-
I wonder how much credibility the players think they have when the president of the player's association bails on contract after contract?
I don't get where people see Fisher as a good guy. He's a cheapshot artist on the court and a jerk who bails on his team when they're not contenders.

no thanks ;D
