EricB was too nice. His posts read like someone doing an anger management course.
Good to see T Park back, just as stubborn as ever.What happened to EricB?

I can't see Fisher in Blk & Silver nor would I want it. I'm still pissed at .04? I was there and that was BS.
BTW, Sessions is a good ball handler and an aggressive offensive player, but those that say he's a good team or individual defender have not watched him. He's been playing on a line with Alonzo Gee and Daniel Gibson, who are both very good defenders. It doesn't help him. With Laker Nation expecting him to come in and fix Mike Brown's defense, he may not be a fan favorite for very long.
Seriously.
T Park - stop comparing the two you know there's no comparison. I dunno why I'm responding again even my point has been made.
?? How am I stubborn? Because Im stating something I believe in?
Sorry.
Stupid court order...
I believe there is, you don't.
We disagree.
Its not the end of the world, Im not saying your wrong, I just don't believe Fisher is washed up.
Wouldn't you rather have someone like Anthony Carter? I'd rather have someone who can defend to a turnstile like Fisher.
Fair enough
But wither way I hope we'd agree that a Fisher signing wouldn't have the impact Horrys did.
I'd rather give Neal the minutes tbh. No since renting Fish at the expense of bringing along/empowering Gary.
A confident, in form Gary > Fisher by a long shot come playoff time.
As an opponent who would honestly scare you more?
Everything else being equal, wouldn't you rather have two point guards on the roster instead of one?
Why be stingy when you can be greedy?
More is always better.
Definitely, and Fisher wouldn't be an awful addition, I'm just thinking that the type of role we need filled doesn't equate to the type of role a player like Fisher would desire. This, in turn, leads me to fear that if we signed him he would play a larger role than we need, something that would both cut into the minutes of guys i find more valuable (like Neal), and be something I don't want out of a player of Fishers reduced caliber.
I would want him to be in CJs role, no more. Not TJs role.
No I had it right the first time.
Delayed the inevitable.
why are these assholes talking about derek fisher on espn radio
Yeah because this team is so void of championship experience....
It's easy to say that after the fact. Fact is it was a clutch shot in a elimination game. What happened afterwards is irrelevant.
Fair enough. I can see how that's a concern. Personally, I don't trust Fisher. It sounds like you don't particularly trust a certain coach who likes veterans.
That said, Fisher has had to play on a team with a guy who never met a shot he didn't like and rarely passes the ball back, regardless of what it does to the team. We didn't really hear a lot of complaints from him, so it's not like he can't deal with things. That kind of player may really get excited about playing team basketball with the emphasis on winning.
He could be a Robert Horry type for the team, or he could be a Van Exel.
I don't deny the latter could happen more than the former.
That's a good point. While I really don't like Fisher from a fans perspective (I was at .4 and can honestly say that other than receiving news of the death of a loved one my heart has never sunk so low) I would admit that there's never been much of am indication that he'd be anything less than a solid teammate and influence. That said, for the reasons I already stated (concerns of role/minutes and his very, very much reduced effectiveness as an NBA player) added to the fact that I just can't like him at all as a Spurs lifer, I just can't roll put the welcome mat.
I just personally don't see Derek Fisher as a bad guy when it comes to being told his role would be x amount of minutes and off the bench.
I just don't think he's wired to be an Allen Iverson or a Ron Mercer. I may be naive but I think he's in it for one more ring and I'd think he'd know coming in if signed what his role would be.
