Key Quote:
"Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are still trying to fill the void created by Eric Maynor's season-ending knee injury, are deciding whether to register a formal bid for Fisher."

This would be a good back up to Russell Westbrook, as he is a seasoned NBA player with many years of playoff experience under his belt.

as a laker and thunder fan .. this would be a bad idea ... Fish is now horrible on D can't run and O (never has) and has not shot the ball well this season

0 reason for the thunder to sign him ... and would be a big risk to the great chemistry of the team

[onthestrip]

Fisher isnt some headcase. He is a solid veteran that will only play about 15 minutes, he would not be hurting any chemistry that we have. Simply put, we dont have a team to win it all this year, maybe not even the West. Adding Fisher, only for the rest of this season, will give us a better shot to win the West and possibly the whole shabang.

It's a funny thought considering Perk and Fisher would be on the same team.

East meets West in OKC, the tie that binds ;-)

That's funny, because I was actually thinking the same thing. LOL

[SoonerBoy18]

I hope this is true, most certainly will give us more depth

[Snowman]

Seems like a longshot from statements Presti has made over that last couple weeks, granted if they thought it was the right move then everything said up to this point is moot.

[Beastboii]

So say we did get fisher for a year, wouldn't that give westbrook and Jackson a veteran point guard to follow and get tips from......



.........on the other hand he is making like 38%of his shots.......has a terrible efficiency rating and a couple other issues,the question in the end is "Is it worth it?"

[MDot]

It appears as though Miami and Oklahoma City have come out as the frontrunners to sign Fisher.

HE IS NOT GOOD ... .. he is now a BAD defender he is not shooting well ... and he has NEVER been a run the team PG ... the triangle doesn't require one

Derek Fisher > Reggie Jackson...enough said!

Derek Fisher > Reggie Jackson...enough said!

Not to mention his playoff experience!

[MikeLucky]

Game 6 of the western conf. finals... or even the NBA finals... who would you pick to have the ball in their hands? Reggie Jackson or Derek Fisher?

Look, I love Reggie as a talent and with his potential I think he'll be very good... but for this year the answer is definitely Fisher.

Nuff' said.

Miami has everybody, It wouldnt be fair if they sign him, they dont even need him as much as we do

[GoOKC1991]

“@sam_amick: On Derek Fisher front, sources close to him expect him to sign w/ OKC if he clears waivers,but we shall see. Thunder need depth & leadership”

Sweet. Thanks for that "small" update.

Here is an article from back in '09. It is an interview with Fisher.

Check out some of the great things he was saying about OKC back then: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/celeb...k-fisher_N.htm

Ok, he just won me over with that.
