So do I
still can't believe Fisher is gone
it was so surreal when he left us the first time
now it's even more surreal


its crazy to think this will be 4th nba jersey he's worn

years from now (or just softcore fans in general of nba) most people will only recognize him as a laker... rightfully so, but still he held his own in golden state, and really helped mature dwill in utah, as well as his memorable playoff entrance following his daughter's hospitalization

I hope he stays within NBA after he's done playing

i feel that
but idk if many players would agree
pierce and so many players were giving him a lot of flack during the lockout

i could see him coaching though for sure. maybe even franchise positions like GM etc

whats his contract like? next season is his last?

and whats the all-time ironman record for nba?

Everyone did because they're too stupid to realize that in a situation like that, if you just back down a little, you'll get completely raped by the owners.
I think he did great. Had he not held back for some, we'd be seeing a horrible situation for the players

Kupchak said the team hopes Sessions will be available for the Lakers' game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday and contribute right away. Hill will have to compete with Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy for backup minutes behind Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, while Eyenga is expected to be assigned to the D-Fenders, the Lakers' D-League affiliate.

Sounds good.
Eyenga was basically just to match Kapono I bet.
Hill's contract is up after this season.
Ramon has a player option and we should be able to resign him for like 7m a year or something

I'd like to see this rotation

Sessions
Bryant
Metta
Gasol
Bynum

Second unit of Blake, Goudelock, Barnes, Troy/Hill and have either Bynum or Gasol playing etc

I am still having so mixed feelings with letting Fisher walk man
I'm happy we did it from a basketball standpoint, money wise, but completely sad about the fact I probably won't see him smiling in a Laker uniform again.
How can someone not love his smile

I'm still very pissed about this.

The fact I never got to see him play in person makes me sad. The fact that my cousin saw him play his last game as a Laker in New Orleans makes me angry because she probably doesn't even know who he is and she had courtside seats.....
