As long as Fisher-to-the-Spurs-via-the-Rockets isn't a genius sabotage effort by the Lakers, I think he would be a solid addition if he's willing to play behind Parker.
Then your going to have to set up your priorities. I see Fisher as a luxury but not a nessessity. They need to make a serious push for Diaw or possibly Kaman before they can even think about tapping into funds for a backup PG.

No question the Spurs need another big. The two things aren't mutually exclusive.
Do you know how cheap Fisher is likely to be? A veteran player who signs a one-year minimum deal? The league pays for everything in excess of $850K. Then pro-rate that $850K for half of the season. He wouldn't cost for the remainder of the season.
Derek Fisher was one of the those guys I always hated on the Lakers, but I would take him in a second if he became available and was willing to be a backup. You can't teach clutch. He would fit perfectly on the Spurs. He could run the offense and stretch the defense with his three point shooting, even if it has fallen off lately. Lest we all forget we have won les before after acquiring former prominent clutch Laker players....
I understand the Lakers reasoning behind getting rid of him, but I still think it was foolish. Their biggest mistake was allowing him to be the starter at the beginning of the season. They should have found a replacement before the season started and have him coming off the bench from the beginning. The guy has all the intangibles and would make a perfect backup in limited minutes.
minimum risk move , greg oden for his 6 fouls in limited minutes....doesnt hurt us when we can just dump him end of the bench, we only need a big who can defend and reb...the wing players can pickup the offensive
antonio daniels is doing nothing atm...why not relive 03?
how about gilbert arenas? whats wrong with him besides the guns?
Oden is out. Kaput. No games. If he can make a Grant Hill type of comeback, I'll applaud him. But it can't happen this year.
Antonio Daniels is playing in the D-League because he loves the game. I don't think even he believes he's going to get a call-up.
There's nothing wrong with Arenas that isn't wrong with Iverson and Stephon Marbury. Well, okay - not much.
Fisher for the minimum would be pretty cool. At the same time, I hear this everyday:
"I love Fisher but he ing sucks!!!"
But its no secret we need a back up PG and there are few out there with Fishers on court/off court resume.
I wouldn't mind seeing fish face with the spurs.
Lester Hudson is now showing up on the Toros roster. Maybe they're thinking of calling up Dentmon. Can't see them passing on a vet like Carter if he's available though.
Carter and Diaw ( or in the best case Kaman ), would be fantastic.
Gsh sold me i read all the comments, and tried to convince myself why we shouldnt get him and the only reason i have is what if it is just all too much for the ol guy i mean the little fish says his fav shot is of course S.A!! everyone says were boring yet they are completely obsessed with us in genera.
anyway imagine a guy like manu leavig us at 37 do you think he would have the..( ready 4 the mex wrd~) GANAS to knock out your team finding yourself in one of the biggest ugliest playoff rivals ever!!i mean that hurts hearing how they didnt sit him down & discuss their trade plans whtsoever, HOWEVER! something isnt being said, they have to know that houston is 3hrs away from the mighty alamo and make no mistake they thought about this trade and all possibilities. one good thing is if he was to come and be an undercover laker spur player the CIA pop will snuff his ass.
so yeah i think 10- 15 minutes a game will make him play way determined and increase his speed b/c 37 w/husky stature is hard to stay light. esp if you not bipolar like manu lol good night spurs family!
No to Fisher. He would take minutes from Neal.
Can't get over the grudge. I don't want to see Fisher get another ring, especially via the Spurs. I also don't think he is the solution. We got a lot of clutch players now - Manu, Tim, Tony, Neal, Jax. We are good enough in that department.
Masai Ujiri said "Turiaf will be waived to make room for Wilson Chandler, who Masai thinks could be signed in nxt 2 days"
Haven't seen Turiaf play much lately, but I think I'd prefer him than Diaw. Seems like Turiaf will at least contest and block shots, and that's something we really need. Another French connection
Turiaf doesn't look really that good right now. Playing in Golden State and NY didn't help him. It would still be good to have him, but Diaw and Kaman are first two choices. It sucks that Kaman will probably stay in NO... Then we need a backup PG. Neal is doing OK, but still I'd like to see some veteran playmaker on our bench. Carter, Daniels or even Fisher if he gets bought out would look good.
Personally, I would like a guy like Carter. He's solid defensively and knows how to come in and run the offense. Does suck about Kaman, but I would hope playing for a better team would inspire Turiaf (if he did come here) Diaw doesn't really add anything that we don't have already. He can stretch the floor, and wouldn't say he rebounds particularly well. At least Turiaf can bring shot blocking/change shots
Turiaff is trash
I saw the Lester Hudson signing yesterday and I'm somewhat intrigued by it. He was great in China (I know it's China). If he turns out as being more of a PG than Dentmon, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hudson being the one called up by Spurs.
Marcus Williams (not the former Spur) could also be a good option when he will finish his season in China.
Turiaf>Diaw
For someone under 6'9" no doubt.Buford expects another roster move will be made
Lakers just majorly bolstered their team with Sessions and Jordan Hill while spurs discuss Justin Dentmon and a fat french blob.
smh
They gave up 1 first rounder for each.
@Monroe_SA: My view: Won'[t take Spurs even 0.4 sec. to make move to get him RT @Jonathan_Feigen Morey will not address Derek Fisher. Expect buyout
Unless your a brand new fan of the Spurs, I don't understand how you can be shaking your head at the reason why the Lakers have more assets to make player personnel moves than the Spurs. smh.
