Filling Fisher's voids, Jazz to face Lakers

Roundtrip ticket from LAX to NY...about the same
Keeping Fisher in Utah...$21 million
Fisher telling Utahns that LA is closer to NY than UT.....Priceless
But really, signing Deron to multi year extension.....absolutely PRICELESS.
Goodbye to another sports star who lacks credibility.
While I respect and empathize with his daughter's situation, there was more to his decision to leave Utah for L.A. -- just how soon he signed with the Lakers after he left the Jazz is a testament to that. Kobe may well have been in contact with Fish. Makes sense, I guess... he did have three rings alongside Kobe.
You are wrong. The only place Fish will be missed is at the PG where he got us into our offense reasonably well. Overall he did a mediocre, AT BEST, job defending/shooting from the 2 spot. He has never been a good shooter if you bother to look at his stats. He got killed by multiple 2 guards last year--could not defend them at all. Too short and too slow. As a sidenote he was also way overpaid.
As far you thinking his decision was to go be with Kobe? Kobe will be gone from LA soon, possibly withing the next 2 weeks. It was not like Fish was going to LA to team with Kobe to win a championship or something. If that is what Kobe told him to get him there then he got used. They are not winning anything--especially if/when Kobe is traded which is looking more likely on a daily basis.
Kobe is not talking in the press any more but it looks like, behind closed doors, he has given the Lakers an ultimatum. Trade me or else.
Life goes on. You all make it sound like he scored 20,000 points for the Jazz. He was a servicable sixth man. Sure, we'll miss him. Overall impact? Probably not a "sky-is-falling" situation that everyone is making it out to be. If anything, the Jazz have $8 million to invest a bit wiser.
No one has ever been let out of a contract so that their wife wouldn't have to take a 1 and a half hour flight once a month for a Dr's appointment.
But as you see we're not complaining. It was as one highly intelligent commenter said "a blessing in disguise".
Best wishes to the Fisher family with Tatum's full recovery.
I HOPE KOBE WILL GO CRAZY AND GET IN ANOTHER FIGHT WITH THE COACH AND THE ENTIRE CITY OF SNOBS WILL HAVE A TERRIBLE SEASON.
NOTHING GIVES ME MORE JOY THAN TO SEE THEM LOSE!!!!!!
There are a few more deer, c'mon out Chico!
Meaning fisher was not happy in Utah.
Why? For the same reason he wasn't happy in Golden State. He wasn't starting at point guard. Fisher has always said that he feels he is good enough to be a starter

What we will miss is a good back up point gaurd, but to pay fisher that kind of money to play 8 minutes a game would be far too much. All in all it worked out best for everyone including Fish. He got back to L.A. and got a starting point gaurd spot (at least for a few months, look for him to loose it soon to Farmar)
Hey seedrusselling and Reshard are there any deer left?
