Spot-up shooter with limited point guard skills; they're the same player at this point of Fisher's career.
they want him as Steve Kerr type role. You know because Fisher is such a similar player to Kerr
with Laker fans being Majoity at Spurs home games in San Antonio it's hard to tell...

the bad voodoo of picking up a long time enemy who has screwed you in the past and is a historically reviled character in the eyes of your fan base.
I mean last time I checked the BoSox never picked up Bucky Dent.
He just isnt the quality of player anymore that would make all of that bad voodoo a non-factor, imo. honestly even if it werent for all that I wouldnt have much interest in Fish. if he accepted the CJ role then yea, maybe I'd think bout it, but I dont see him wanting to be in that situation at 37 years of age a few days after starting all season for LA.
Exactly.
plus, playing alongside Ginobili, all you need for Fisher is to bring the ball up and get the offense in its sets.
Also hes a TRUE point guard, not an undersized shooting guard made into one.
Im tired of the fitting square pegs into round holes. Neal is a shooter, not a playmaker not anything, shooter. Trying to make him anything else is just a recipe for disaster.
Yeah it totally failed miserably for the Spurs when they signed Robert Horry.
Theres no such thing as "horrible voodoo"
I never said that. I said its not worth it with Fisher being the player he is right now.
When the Spurs picked up Horry was he a 37 year old who was among the least effective players at his position in the league? I didnt think so.
Horry was worth it and then some because he could still ball and play a huge role for us. Fisher can't and wouldnt. No comparison.
so what are you saying? you'd take Kobe over Lebron??
Why are spurs fan salivating over the possibility of signing this way over the hill dude who needs to retire already?
Have you read the myriad of lakerfan posts complaining about how bad his defense is these days, how inefficient his shooting is?
Given how much we complain about the spurs defense and how it needs to improve, why would we want this dude on our team? There's a reason his beloved Laker team dumped him. He's totally done as a player.
Yes, but he has still ran point guard his whole career............................................ .......
I feel the Spurs would be smart to sign another PG. It doesn't have to be Fisher but I don't think going into the playoffs with a Manu who can't stay healthy and Neal as your backup PG is very wise.
spursfan is a masochist one
not even 24 hours after getting rid of the biggest black hole in the team, they want to go ahead and get another one. just to spite lakerfans
Horry was considered washed up, done and very worthless for a power forward when the Spurs signed him.
Done as a 30 min a night guy.Not done as a small minute back up playing against the other team's backups.
Fisher would bring championship experience also leadership and toughness to the team it wouldn't hurt to have him.
because we don't have any?
that Fisher championship experience was really useful for lakers last playoffs
If he's bought out or cut, Spurs will go after him. He's a compe or, a leader and a good locker room guy. He has Championship experience and can spread the floor in our offense. Does anyone really think he'll take our Defense down ? Eh...we're collectively pretty poor already. It couldn't get much worse.
We aren't going to change overnight. The hope is that we outscore our opponents by playing better offense then them.
Fisher is ing done. Move on.
I think you answered part of the question. You're right, he's past his prime, and he isn't an NBA starter any more. But the leadership qualities go a long way for a backup PG who will be on the floor with the second team. And he's been through enough championship campaigns that he isn't going to fold under playoff pressure. He's a guy who Pop could/would actually put into the game in the post-season, which means he wouldn't be a complete waste of a roster spot. If he was as good as he used to be, there wouldn't be any chance of signing him as a backup.
I guess the thing that puzzles me is that so many people want to turn up their noses at a backup PG because he isn't good enough to be a starting PG. If Tony goes down, we're screwed - period. Because we aren't going to be able to sign CP3, Deron Williams, or Rose as a backup. I think Fisher would be more than competent to give Tony a breather in the playoffs. And I think that's worthwhile to have.
I believe that the CBA provision just prohibits him from returning to the Rockets, if they buy him out. There are a bunch of teams around the league right now waiting to pick up players that are bought out.
as much as it pains me to say this but the spurs need a PG like fisher. parker will likely be getting 38+ minutes in the playoffs but that still leaves around 10 minutes of PG time left. neal shouldn't be bringing the ball up in the playoffs and manu should only do it a few times. fisher provides a steady hand and can play next to manu. he just needs to not turn the ball over, leave the playmaking up to sjax and manu, and hit some timely clutch shots.
For those of you wondering why we're even having a discussion about Derek Fisher, ^this.
@franblinebury: Rockets will buy out Derek Fisher, declare the future is in front of them.
if it will come to Fisher or Carter I'd rather have Fish.
No. I'd take Labrick. But I'd take Kobe in his prime any day over Labrick. Until Labrick gets at least 3 rings, you can't say he's betta than Da Masked Black Mamba! Same with Neal an fisher. Them got 5 rings for a reason. It's called Killer instinct. Neal, we haven't seen enough to say. But he seems to he on his way. But Labrick on the other hand. Ain't no kinda killer in that boys bones. If he had murder charge all his lawyer would have to say is this. "Ladies & Gentlemen of the jury my client is no killer I assure you" . Show tape of the finals last season with little as Terry d-ing his ass up an say. Look at this little guy all over my client embarrassing him infront if his peers an the world. If he was a killer he would not have allowed this to go on. Then all charges would be dropped.
Come on east Derek, fiesta is about to start and the weather is perfect my friend.
6/24 says hi.
