yep. got a problem with that?
nah, it's the general bball board and you're a Faker fan. just surprised.

Only a bag would ask this. No, he didn't.
yeah the OP asked a stupid question, obviously a larger city like LA is gonna have better medical care for his kid. Only people who dispute this are crazy Utah fans who boo him.
-Mars
No, Derek Fisher did.
No, he is just familiar with that area which happens to have the medical needs for his child. (?)
He is a massive , I agree.
Correct. How many times does it have to be explained? But then again, s like Ronald just like to stir the same ole because, well, they are s.
Fish had two choices for the proper care. NY and LA. The Lakers offered him a contract. If you ever bothered to read Fisher and his wife's explaination you would know that her whole family is in the LA area. If you had two little girls and one had a serious medical condition and your husband was gone for extended periods, would you choose to go to a city where you know nobody or choose the city where you have extended family support?
I woulnd't expect a ingorant fool like Ronald to be able to grasp that but clearly anyone with any amount of intelligence can see the reasoing for the Fisher's decision.
Enough already.
I thought Sloan said something about this not long ago?
http://www.cleveland.com/nba/plainde...290.xml&coll=2"They are a terrific team," Sloan said. "They've been fortunate. They've got gifts, and any time you get gifts that can start for you, that's a tremendous advantage. Give them the credit. They were lucky to be able to get them. Probably thrilled to death. And that makes them a very good team."
Those "gifts" he was referring to seem to be Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol. Fisher was a huge part of the Jazz's run to the Western Conference finals two years ago. After that season, he asked to be let out of his contract so he could live in a city where his daughter could get better treatment for an eye disorder. Fisher immediately signed with the Lakers (the Cavs and the Cleveland Clinic's renowned Cole Eye Ins ute weren't enough). Apparently there's some raw feelings on the Jazz's side about that one.
If what Fisher did was on the up and up, why would Sloan call him out?
It's called sour grapes. Fact is, he asked to be let go. The owner signed off on it. He didnt have to. Did they think he wasn'g going to sign anywhere. As in the above post I explained the Fisher's decision and why they made it. There was nothing crooked about it. Did the Lakers benefit... Of course.
Let's also not forget, Fish took a 6 mil pay cut as well.
Damn SPURS FANS ARE SO BUTTHURT ABOUT LOSING TO THE LAKERS. you guys whine more than the pathetic Utah fans.
The article assumed that Sloan was implying that. Not exactly calling him out.
I'd let someone go that pulled that too, whether or not I believed it, because I wouldn't want to take a chance with the child's health, and I wouldn't want someone that would lie about it on my team. Everybody knows ing Fish just wanted to be a Laker again, especially after Manu tore his ass up in the playoffs.
They let him go thinking he was gonna be crap...now they whine cuz fhisher eliminated them. lol
that's true. The team that signed Boozer away from the Cavs should probably keep their mouths shut.
SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz agreed to release guard Derek Fisher from his contract Monday [article was published on July 3] so he can concentrate on finding the best care for his 11-month-old daughter, who has cancer in her left eye.
Fisher said he wants to live in one of the six or seven cities being considered for Tatum's care.
He didn't rule out playing for another NBA team but emphasized that his daughter's health is his No. 1 priority.
"Life for me outweighs the game of basketball," Fisher told reporters after flying from New York to meet with Jazz owner Larry H. Miller and other team executives.
"When it comes to decisions related to them," he said of his family, "I do what's best."
The Jazz acquired Fisher a year ago in a trade with the Golden State Warriors. During eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, he was part of three NBA championships -- experience that Utah's young team craved.
In May, his daughter was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a cancerous tumor in her left eye. The danger is that it could spread to her brain or the rest of her body.
Fisher at times fought exhaustion trying to balance basketball and his daughter's welfare. He spent a day at a New York hospital in May, then flew to Utah for a Western Conference semifinal game against Golden State.
Only 350 cases of retinoblastoma are diagnosed each year in North America, according to Dr. A. Linn Murphree, director of the retinoblastoma program at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, who is not involved in the Fisher case.
In most cases, patients lose the eye rather than undergo chemotherapy, but there are exceptions.
After the news conference, Fisher and wife Candace were flying to New York for another medical appointment Tuesday.
"Outwardly she's doing great. Her spirits are good," Fisher said of Tatum.
He said his desire to leave Utah does not mean that medical care here is weak. Rather, Fisher said he and his wife need a place that has the "right combination" of specialists.
He declined to identify the cities under consideration. Many NBA players work apart from their families, but it's not an option for him. He and Candace have four children.
"For me and my family, we just don't believe in it. ... I don't think I could be the player I could be if I had to carry that load," Fisher said.
Wiping away tears, Miller said Fisher "leaves a legacy" of leadership and toughness for Utah's young players.
"He's focused on the most important thing," the owner said of Fisher's request to leave the Jazz.
Fisher doesn't want to retire but acknowledged it's a possibility.
"I'll be 33 in August. I'm 6-1. I averaged 10 points this year," he said. "I don't know how many people feel strongly about what I do."

I guess 9 days was enough for him to make his life-altering decision.
http://www.pe.com/sports/basketball/...2.412003a.html
He used it, but I think Utah was just as happy to lose his contract..
DD
so to sum up
the OP is a bag
Dude. Shut the up. I'm a Utah fan. When's the last time you saw me or another Utah fan on this board whining about Fish? Seriously. Go find the last time it happened and post it.
Fact of the matter was that Utah was more than happy to let Fisher go. He had been relegated to the bench in favor of DWill.
Jazz just weren't happy that he went to the Lakers.
at Fakers fan who thinks that everyone on his team can do no wrong - including St. Fish and Uncle Kobster.
So he left a tean on the rise to join a team whose superstar wanted out, had just lost in the first round, and who a lot of people predicted to miss the post season in 08. Gotcha. And of course the 6 million he losr by leaving Utah. But, yeah, it was all set up during game 2 of the WCSF.
