Dirk shouldn't come back tbh.
The Dallas Mavericks and Derek Fisher are parting company by mutual consent, team sources told ESPN.
The Mavericks on Saturday agreed to release Fisher at the 38-year-old's request, according to the sources.
The move has actually been in the works for a few days, sources said, but the Mavericks asked Fisher to stay with the team until another point guard could be secured. Fisher consented to stay on and played Tuesday night against Philadelphia, only to suffer a strained patellar tendon in his right knee early in the Mavs' home win.
The Mavericks, sources said, will be calling up Chris Douglas-Roberts from the Frisco-based Texas Legends to replace Fisher. Widely rated as the top current NBA prospect in the D-League, Douglas-Roberts is scheduled to play for the Legends in Saturday night's home game against Iowa before joining the Mavericks on Sunday in San Antonio.
In nine games as a Maverick after signing Nov. 29, Fisher averaged 8.6 points and 3.6 assists in just over 25 minutes per game.
The Mavericks are eager to see if Douglas-Roberts can give them the backcourt scoring and penetration they've been seeking after his time in the NBA's developmental league, but sources said that Dallas is likewise expected to continue exploring potential trade options to strengthen its point guard position, which has been a problem all season.
After the November release of Delonte West, projected starter Darren Collison has been in and out of favor, prompting Dallas to bring in Fisher. Inconsistent youngsters Dominique Jones and Rodrigue Beaubois are the Mavs' other current options at the point.

no one wants to play in Dallas
Dirk shouldn't come back tbh.
Cuban should sell the team to someone who would actually build a contender
It's ok man, they got French Allah. Class act by Fish demanding to go back to LA for his family.
Good copy/paste job...
so he's gonna be backing up Nash?
Why the do teams give in to this got's every demand? He signed a contract and he needs to ing live up to it.
Dallas' PR situation isn't too good right now.
The Mavs have bad luck with ex Lakers players tbh.
heading back to the lakers?
And we were classless for booing this asshole?
No, you were classless for mocking his daughter as you booed. Jazz fans had every right to boo his ass but they went over the line by going after his daughter.
How is that classless? I would do the same if I were a Jazz fan.
for the jazz
did you they outpaid his contract or just rescind it?
Kobe's scared that he can't win without Fisher, so a call was made.
u seem to have forgotten about the other occupation he currently holds in the players association tbh
Hahaha...one ing fan in an arena ceiling shot and you're saying all of us did it? Pathetic. You're a damn fool if you think that's true.
He was booed for all the right reasons.
Mav fan is funny. They talk the most horrific sh*t online, to where if their real families and friends read the vile stuff they would instantaneously disown them. They also cheer when Terry nut punches a former Mav in Michael Finley like that isn't crossing the line (just in general, not even considering Finley was a huge part of their franchise) and then get up in arms when a few UTA fans "cross the line" when booing one of the most snake moves in the history of the league.
Wow.
I'm inclined to agree with DEEEEP here. Nothing the Utah fans did was really that bad, especially compared to the we post on this site.
Btw DEEEEP, I might be receiving a job offer in Dallas and if I do it's good enough that I'm accepting it on the spot. Where do you recommend a young business professional scro live in Dallas if he's working downtown?
so sick of seeing this annoying nigroons face, just retire already
