I'd only be able to link to the mobile version of the article, but Derek Fisher will sign with OKC today for the rest of the season. It seems pretty hypocritical since he asked the Mavs to release him so he could spend more time with his family.
Derrick Fisher is a self serving POS. This is the 2nd time he has used his family to get out of a contract for nothing but selfish reasons.
It's the same thing as he did to Utah. Exactly the same thing. If he was worried about his daughter he would have moved to NEW YORK where her doctor was.I'll disagree with you on the bolded part. Yes it sucked when Fisher got released by the Jazz and went right to the Lakers and helped them win more championships. But I still see that as Fisher simply making the best of a horrible family situation. I didn't see any evidence that he was unhappy during his time with the Jazz. That aside, asking to be released from Dallas to spend time with his family only to sign with OKC now absolutely makes him look like a big-time POS.
So maybe it's time for the haters to apologize. Those of us who called Fisher out for signing with the Lakers - instead of New York or New Jersey or one of the other EC teams - were blasted in this forum.It's the same thing as he did to Utah. Exactly the same thing. If he was worried about his daughter he would have moved to NEW YORK where her doctor was.

This instance just proves that he knows it works and decided to use it again.

The only reason anybody was behind him before is that they could not believe he would use his family for such selfish reasons. Well he just did it a 2nd time. Making the evidence against him from the 1st time even more conclusive.
And don't forget what a bad joke he was as the player rep during the lockout negotiations. The guy is a self-serving douche who oozes fraud.
