Derek Fisher turns down Heat offer, Stays with Lakers

[yeks]

ammo is gone.

he'll be solid for another team.

he just got no chance here.

we signed artest and phil trusts luke with the triangle.

just a bad break with ammo.

he can play though. he kills in summer league and practice.

ammo is turk-lite.. useless w/o the ball on his hand all the time..

luke is the perfect role player for your team.. he is what pietrus means to orlando.. a system player that knows his role..

if we sign JJ, i think orlando's summer is done.. just practice together and i believe we can see the lakers again in the finals.. it took one season for vince to finally fit on his new role..

Fish was never going to leave, Buss is just a cheap ass old man. Fish wanted to use the Heat as a way of letting the Lakers know there are still other teams interested.

Fish brought his daughter to LA because of her illness plus he's best friends with Kobe on the team.

Now the lakers need to sign Matt Barnes from Orlando, he would be another perimeter defender to deal with Wade and Lebron in Miami.

buss is not cheap.

he's paying more than anyone.


buss even paid for the parade this year out of his own pocket.

Then why is he low balling Fish and Jackson?

Fish is a very smart individual .

it didn't work though.

the lakers offered him what he was worth.

they knew he can't get a better deal anywhere else especially not with a contender.


rumor is kobe got him his deal.

i wouldn't be surprised if the lakers were willing to let him walk tbh.

Then why is he low balling Fish and Jackson?

because it's a business.

fish is 36 years old. what's fisher's other offers? minimum from miami and?

phil jackson is the highest paid coach in the nba. even with a massive paycut he still will be the highest paid coach in the nba.


jerry buss is not a billionaire like dolan and cuban. this is a family business to him.

jerry buss spends money to win. doesn't mean he's stupid and doesn't try to lower costs.

Hero is a much better offensive asset than artest.

And a much worse defensive player.
