View Full Version : Rockets: CUBAN DELIVERS FINAL SHOT AT FISHER AKA Meth City

DALLAS – The Derek Fisher-Dallas Mavericks saga had one last loud go-round Sunday, as the point guard who played nine games for Dallas between Thanksgiving and Christmas was lustily booed when he checked in late in the first quarter.
Mavs owner Mark Cuban led the chorus.
“I’ll just boo him like hopefully everybody else,” Cuban said prior to the Mavs taking on Fisher’s new team, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Fisher signed with the Thunder in late February, about two months after asking the Mavs to release him from his contract. Fisher said in a statement at the time that he wanted to return to his family in Los Angeles. Fisher, 38, immediately took over as the starting point guard for Darren Collison and averaged 8.4 ppg and 3.4 apg. The Mavs, who have had trouble finishing games all season, were 5-4 with Fisher.
After the 17-year veteran signed with title-contending Thunder, the team he joined late last season, as well, Cuban reacted with sarcasm. He said that Fisher’s kids had time to grow up during the eight weeks between leaving the Mavs and joining the Thunder, and Cuban joked that it’s easier to fly in and out of Oklahoma City than Dallas.
On Sunday, Cuban said that Fisher repeatedly made pitches to him and asked for advice before signing with the Mavs. Cuban said he “took the bait.”
“With his history, I shouldn’t have been surprised with what happened,” Cuban said. “I tried to offer him some help. I thought I offered him some positive encouragement and advice, and then we signed him. I expected a different turnout than what happened.”
After the 2007 playoffs with the Utah Jazz, Fisher asked out of his contract to better deal with his infant daughter’s battle with eye cancer. He later signed a three-year contract to return to the Los Angeles Lakers. Last season, after being dealt from the Lakers to the Houston Rockets, he had his contract bought out and joined the Thunder, who lost to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
After Sunday’s shootaround, Fisher said he holds no hard feelings toward Cuban. He hopes Cuban will eventually feel the same.
“I love Mark and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what he’s done and does in terms of this team,” Fisher told The Dallas Morning News. “There’s no question about how passionate he is for his team. If it was my team and I wanted to win, I would want as many players that I felt like could help me.
“I take [Cuban's criticism] more as a positive thing than a negative. He saw some value I provided and would like to still have me here. But as far as long-term for me, I don’t have any issues with Mark, and hopefully one day, we’ll be able to get past this and have much more things to enjoy and laugh about than the short few weeks here.”
Fisher might be waiting a while.
“It’s not so much what he did,” Cuban said. “It’s how he did it.”

I'm with cuban
It's all business. Mark sold the Mavs fans a bill of goods by ringing then not trying to repeat, by allowing TC to walk, by blowing up the championship team and just getting season ticket money from die hards who thought Mark had their best interest at heart, thought he was here to win rings. He made a few excuses about price and then basically didn't compete the following year at all. Not everyone is as loyal as Dirk, and Dallas has a stench that most cannot tolerate when it comes to quality basketball.
Mark has no room. Had he showed he wanted to get back to the show, he could have kept Fisher. That said, Fisher is a faggot.

I have never been to Dallas so somebody give me the Cliff notes. Is it really a horrible place to live? Both Lamar & Fish willingly went there & absolutely hated it once they got there. T.C. could not wait to bolt even after winning a championship there. You can bag on Oklahoma all you want but NBA players like playing for the Thunder & absolutely hate playing for the Mavericks.
Cuban has not grown up much has he....:rolleyes

As a president of the players association, Fish should honor the contract he signs. He asked 3 teams to buy him out. He takes top dollar, then leaves with the $$ and signs for a contending team.
Fish did honor it. Mark let him out of it.
The President of the USA hasn't honored the contract he signed. Let's get some precedence here.

I like Dallas. It's a great city tbh. I don't think the NBA version of it is too cool. Until they get monkeyball, most young players aren't going to be interested, and people like Fish are only interested in post season teams.

Nah, Derek Fisher can do what he wants. He's a scumbag and an opportunist at heart, and history will remember him as the guy who once used his "sick" daughter as an excuse to get out playing in a small market team that didn't have a shot to win a title, and later using "family issues" to pull the same shit and go to a contender.
Like Kobe, Fish was carried to rings and expects to be carried for the remainder of his career.

Fisher is obviously a douche, but it's hard to feel bad for Cuban because
1) Fisher has obviously been known to screw over shitty teams for greener pastures
2) The team is complete shit anyway, so who really cares? It's not like he was gonna be a difference maker
It's like some crater face nerd in HS, dating a girl that has a schoolwide reputation for cheating on ugly guys. So of course she cheats on him next. Who's the real idiot there?
cuban is quickly earning a rep as the owner who calls out players publicly. this strategy may come back to bite him in the ass down the road (although money still talks)

I prefer Austin the most out of the 3. southern hospitality is underrated. Dallas is more of your typical concrete jungle than Austin or San Antonio. It's a good place to live but has more of a corporate, consumerism feel than Austin or SA.
probably my biggest beef with Texas is the humidity adn heat that gets bad every summer. That's a part of the Southern experience I don't like. I imagine the humidity is worse in Florida, Lousiana though

^...true. The wound & pain of the losses fade, but, never heal. '84 is as real & sharp today as if it were yesterday. It was so agonizing watching Jabbar and Magic suffer thru that. But, especially Worthy. They'd already "destroyed" Jabbar, but, they went after Magic & Worthy in the aftermath. Trying mightily to end them, to seal the road to redemption. & each found that redemption, Magic a year later, Worthy in '87. And there is solace in that redemption, a deliverance, but, the humiliation and utter deprivation of '84 shadows it, a bitter reminder of what was.
'08 has a tinge of that. I rewind it. It's Kobe's most virilent real-time NBA failure. He had to stop the bleeding after +23. I'm sure he thought it would stop on it's own, and "let it go" until he could feel good again IN HIS ELEMENT.
