crickets. It would be a good signing though IMO.
Does he get booed the first time he checks in or is he given loud applause out of sheer respect?

how abt, if spurs win championship with fisher ... fisher > kobe?
Probably a mix of both.
I'm not really sure why you'd have to respect unless your a Laker fan. He's been a dirty mofo for most of his career.
I have to think about that for 0.4 seconds ...
Honestly can't even wrap my brain around seeing him in a Spurs jersey.
hey
u stole my gif
I don't get all the fuss about 37 year old Fisher.
Fisher isn't a true point guard anymore than Neal is. On offense he's an undersized spot up guard that plays off a play-making guard (Kobe or hypothetically Manu). Fisher is not a play-maker on offense like Ford was, and he can't guard a lick anymore. I don't get it.
With that being said, I rather use the minutes on Neal, who's a better shooter and play-maker. This predicament of Neal getting these minutes also has a positive domino effect on Green and Leonard's minutes.
Neal> Fisher and it's not close.

Gary Neal > Fish in clutchness and overall play
and no he will never come to SA. what u been smoking?
I just don't believe that to be true. Fisher has run PG his whole career. While Gary has some flashes every once in awhile he has repeatedly shown how inept he is at running the show at times as well. You apply some pressure to Neal and he has problems bringing the ball up, creating, and he is also using a lot of energy on doing so when he should be using that energy as a pure scorer.
Obviously if Manu is able to be on the court with Neal then it changes a bit but we haven't been able to see much of that and if one of the other for some reason can't go or will miss games it will be pretty bad to see Neal (or manu) primarily run backup PG in crowds of players in the playoffs where the game notoriously slows down.
Fisher can play that sort of Jacque Vaughn role if he is willing. I'm not saying play a ton of minutes but be able to give Tony a rest while letting Neal and Manu expend there energy in the right places (scoring/defense). Fisher is also a decent defender who can hit the 3 ball. Not too mention he is another very clutch player. If he's willing to come off the bench here for 15 minutes a game then I would definitely sign him up. I don't believe it would take minutes away from Neal but maybe from Green which I am fine with after trading for SJAX.
He's ran point guard his whole career because of his size, not his skill-set. His skill-set is one of a spot up shooter on offense-- much like Neal, although I'd say Neal is a better creator and play-maker with the ball (which is a skill-set of a true point guard). If Neal hadn't shown progression in his play-making ability like he has, and if Fisher was 5 years younger-- then I'd agree that signing him would be a good move.
Here's an excerpt from a recent scouting report on 37 year old Fisher.
Fisher comes off a season in which he shot 38.9 percent from the floor and ranked in the bottom 10 point guards in both TS% and usage rate -- in other words, he struggled to create shots, and he couldn't make the ones he created. This is difficult for fans to grasp because physically he looks like the same player, but he's not: His 40-minute scoring rate is barely half what it was three years ago. Defensively, he allowed a 17.7 PER to opposing point guards and had the worst Synergy numbers on the team. His rebound rate was very nearly the worst in the league (see Jamal Crawford comment). At times, it seemed the only thing keeping him in the starting lineup was the fact that Steve Blake was even worse.
Fisher's physical defense against big guards still has value, as does his overall savvy, but this needs to be put into context -- the guy averaged 9.4 points per 40 minutes, shot 38.6 percent on 2-pointers, can't create off the dribble, and can't keep quick guards in front of him. It's become increasingly difficult to defend the idea that Fisher should remain a 30-minute starter. If we're being brutally honest, on many rosters he wouldn't even be the backup.
Same here. What is this fascination with a guy who is clearly past his prime and whose best attribute is probably his leadership qualities?
For folks chirping about Fisher, you can forget about him. Even if the Rockets buy him out, there is a new provision in the CBA that prohibits a player, who has just been bought out, from being claimed by any team until the start of the new NBA year - July 1st. Therefore, no more of that 30-day vacation and then returning to his one's former team or even another contender.
Team has enough leaders. Thats all fish is now.
Whats left of his skills is not worth it.
Would rather the Spurs sign a younger pg. I seriously doubt Fisher could handle nights when he wouldn't even get on the court, which is precisely the reason the Lakers traded him.
I'm feeling that. It would be a dam smart move but at the same time sleeping with the enemy. The sad part is I can see Pop licking his chops at first chance to sign Fish too. That would be a ugly sight to see when you really think about it. Can someone please gif that picture for us.
Gary Neal a more clutch shooter than Derek Fisher?
In what world is this?
Last I checked the Lakers won rings on Fishers shots. All Neal did was delay an inevitable end to a pathetic season.
Spurs fans want the corpse of Fisher...really?
as of today I think so, at least as clutch.

Yeah really. As a backup point for 10 to 15 mins a night he'd be perfect.
they want him as Steve Kerr type role. You know because Fisher is such a similar player to Kerr
Folks, let it go. It aint happening.
exactly. why would he come here to be the last guard option @ 37 years old? not worth the bad voodoo anyway you look at it imo.
I can see him ending up in Miami personally. those guys would treat him like a wise champion guru and maybe he could actually get some minutes. it'd be like playing with Kobe; he wouldnt really have to do anything.

Okie doke.
For Anyone comparing Neal to Fisher, your stupid. It's like the Kobe an Labrick comparisons. Neal maybe betta, faster, but he ain't a 5 time champion. Fisher just needs to say .04, that's it. He has done his thang in the league dir yrs in yrs now. Neal is just starting out.
What "Bad voodoo"?
