Derek Fisher to meet with Miami Heat

[Kobe Molested Me]

Lakers free-agent guard Derek Fisher boarded a flight Friday to Miami and was scheduled to speak with Heat president Pat Riley Saturday about the possibility of joining that team, said a source close to the situaton who was not authorized to speak on the matter publicy.
Fisher still has hopes of playing next season for the Lakers, the source said, but contract negotiations are moving at a slow pace.
"We're having ongoing discussions," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said Friday. "Both parties want to be back, and hopefully that's what will happen."
With LeBron James joining forces in Miami with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, the Heat has become a team many think can compete for a championship next season.
That's something that interests Fisher, who has won five championships rings with the Lakers.
"Yes, Derek is on his way to talk with Pat Riley," the source said. "He's there to hear [Riley] out. I think Derek is going to take everything under consideration before he makes a decision."
Fisher, who will be 36 next month, earned $5 million last season in the final year of a three-year deal.

Grim news.

Absolutely.

Fishers the biggest X-factor for next season. Think the Lakers have a shot without Fisher bailing out Kobe time and time again?

Of course, how can the Heat sign him when theyre using the MLE on Miller? They got to be over the cap by now.

This smells an awful lot like Odom's ruse last year.

pat riley already trying to preempt some bull shot fisher is inevitably going to make in the finals.
