2012 Trade Deadline Deal: Derek Fisher and a first to Houston for Jordan Hill

[The Ownage]

Lakers are messed up for this.

I'd be pissed as a Lakers fan. This trade was purely to shed cap. You trade your veteran leader for a back up big. Then again sources say Fisher would have made issue of going to the bench.

I think LA was worried that sending Fisher to to the bench and not playing him could mess up chemistry. I'm glad he's off the team. At this point he's the worst starting PG in the league by far and he has a player option for next year.

Why? Fisher left the team in 2004 as soon as he got an offer for more money and he tried to do the same thing in 2010 but no one wanted him. It's not like he's loyal to the Lakers.

Are you drunk?

Fisher is gone, so now Mike Brown has no excuse to not start Sessions. One point.

Jordan Hill is better than Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy, so he strengthens our bench. Two points.

So, how is it a bad deal?

Fisher + a 1st for Hill.

Lakers gave Dallas' 1st round pick and Houston gave their a 1st round pick to Lakers.

because that guy is an idiot.

the old rule is that you never trade young for old and short for tall.

houston did exactly this

Fisher has been dead weight for a while now, he needs to be castrated. Good riddens.

[Doctor Rivers]

could have the perkins effect though

Great move for the Lakers, they no longer will be playing 3 on 5.

It's Clippersfan, no point reasoning.

Lakers fans will be upset to see a core piece gone. But happy to see his ineffectiveness and contract gone.

This.

Wasn't Jordan Hill drafted 8th overall? Looks like a good trade for the Lakers to me.

Why the hell would you give up a solid young PF and a DP for Fisher when Dragic has shown promise?

EDIT: Oh, Houston gets the pick. Good shit!
