Lakers Trade Derek Fisher to Rockets


The Lakers have agreed to trade Derek Fisher and a 2012 first-round pick (via Dallas) to the Rockets for Jordan Hill. Yahoo! has the report on this shocker: “The Lakers have traded Derek Fisher and a 2012 first-round pick (via Dallas) for Jordan Hill, league sources tell Y!”

    The Lakers owe Dfish absolutely nothing, he’s never been statistically good in any of his nba seasons. clutch..right

    This trade has some good sides and bad.

    One good thing is, that Fisher is probably going to retire after this season, but the value they get for him is terrible.

    I would have maybe given up Fisher for Hill, but they give up a draft pick as well? Really?

    Fish has zero..i repeat, zero value to a noncontender, so yeah..to get hill, and make room for sessions, they had to throw in the pick. It’s a low first rounder anyway, for a former lottery pick. Pretty good deal for the lakers imo.

    didn’t the lakers get that first round pick? Oden, first round pick and Fisher for Sessions, Hill and Eyenga is a bit much. But they did get younger and added some fresh(er) legs to the team.

    karma for when dude split to utah

    Cavs picked up Fisher to mentor their rookie point guard into a leader. Not a bad move by the Cavs when you think about it, because, they were not going to keep Sessions next season anyway; so why not replace him with a proven winner and leader

    Fisher went to the Rockets though

  • Mike Mihalow

    I thought he had to be in a big city due to his daughter’s health. That’s why he left Utah.

    @T.W. u sucked. u dont watch basketball.i guess u watch dramas on tv’s. lakers just wanted to improve their team. fisher doenst contribute anymore. they need fresh legs. they need a pure point guard. that can penetrate to the basket, set pick and rolls, athletic and faster. and fisher doesnt want to accept a backup role over sessions.

  • jags

    @T.W. if u are a real laker fan. u should know to spell the name of kobe bryant right. COBY? u mean COBY KARL? he doesnt even play for the lakers anymore. lol

  • Bobbito

    I see the lakers rewarding him in the future. Coaching, or a front office job, and maybe even retire his number. Say what you want but, he’s done a lot for them.

  • joe

    Long time Laker fan, but this trade is just wrong in every aspect. D Fish is the hardest working player I have ever seen on any team in the NBA, and Lakers just traded him like that. I know the organization needs to save money to increase profit, but sometimes a little loyalty from the owners to the players for a change is nice too.
