Thanks for the help. Alas, it is apparently much too large of a filesize given the current forum limitations. The twirly girl is probably dead.

I didn't say Fisher was the key difference between the Jazz beating the Lakers or not. There are many other more important and obvious ones. The Lakers are better team, clearly. But the fact that Fisher is helping them beat the Jazz in any way whatsoever is what keeps this story alive. It doesn't help that Fisher seems to play well against the Jazz a lot of the time. If the Jazz weren't having so much trouble beating the Lakers I could guarantee this would be a non-story. It's going to be hard for people to get over it when his team is consistently beating the Jazz. It's a reminder that hits people over and over and over...that was my point. As for me...I agree with you, it is time to let it go regardless of how suspicious it was. What's done is done, Fisher will have to live with his choices. If he was dishonest that is a problem for his conscience.
There is no doubt in my mind Fisher wanted back on the Lakers, and used his daughters situation to help him.
He'll never admit it, but we know the truth. Now it's time to move on.

I loved the "Fisher Lied" chicks. I think Fisher could be a PR man or politician. That being said, the guy sucks and the Jazz would have had bigger money problems if we hadn't released him. I'm glad he's gone, I hope his daugther does well and I hope he goes 1 for 50 in the Finals and that Rondo lights him up for 25 and 10 every game.
Fisher really has done a superb job of marketing himself as some sort of Basketball Gandhi.
Anyone going to read his book?
Not me.

Nope. It's the type of book thats best purpose is as a doorstop, OR, if one of the legs on a table is wobbly, to use it to balance it out, OR, if you run out of toilet paper, use the pages. It's not meant to be read.
Larry Miller didn't have release him from his contract; however, I'm pretty sure that when presented with the opportunity to get out from under Fisher's deal at zero cost, Miller was more than happy to do so. The Jazz won in the situation as well. It was a win for everyone. Fisher, the Jazz, us Fisher haters, etc. The Lakers sucked when Fisher went back. Then Memphis really ****ed everyone.

Can you imagine the crap storm Miller would have faced if it got out that he refused to let Fisher go to take care of his kid? Fisher put Miller in a no win situation.
I was excited when we got Derek Fisher, I loved him as a player and a champion. Yeah, his terms of leaving left something to be desired. But if we were in that situation where we had to give up millions of dollars (and he did, think about it he left a lot of money on the table) to go find a better situation for his family. We would all do that. We would have to.
Of course he's going to have ties to the Lakers. He won a buttload of championships there. Of course he's going to talk to Kobe, they have been friends since they entered the NBA together. Do you think Ronnie Brewer and D-Will still talk.. Of course they do. The NBA environment now-a-days lends to a very friendly personal relationships. Everyone in the NBA is friends/or has their phone number and text/call them all the time. It's just part of our society now.
Now though, Fisher is sometimes a liability for the Lakers. You just don't see it as much because of how much talent they do have on the floor most nights. Without Odom/Gasol they turn into a team that looks highly beatable. It's their length that gives teams the most problems. How can you defend when they put 3 guys in the Front court that are highly athletic centers?
Please stop Jazz fans, we don't need to rehash Fisher. Yeah, he torches our team. But so does the T-Wolves.

He didn't leave any money on the table. I don't see the Lakers not paying him a hefty sum. I don't care about Fisher, he was pitiful aside from a couple of games. I just hate having to play against him. He is the biggest flopper and BS shot artist in the game against us.
