Summary

You remember Derek Fisher. He signed a four-year contract and played for the Jazz in 2006-07. Near the end of that season, his young daughter was diagnosed with eye cancer, a situation that Fisher said required him to move from Utah for better medical attention.

Well put, and I agree: Fish left so he could play for the Lakers.

It was also one more instance of LHM showing who was the bigger and more grounded person.

Amen, Lee. I felt the same way when I saw Derek Fisher "representing" the players.

What a sad indictment of Derek Fisher. His attitude is why I hope the Owners win this fight and bring the players back to reality. Lee Benson is correct. It is in poor form to bite the hand that feeds you.
