Derek Fisher to return to the Lakers [Updated]
Derek Fisher will return to the Lakers.
The deal is a three-year contract, with the third year a player option.
It took a little time, and some give-and-take on the financial front, but the Lakers and Fisher just weren’t ready to part ways.
The Lakers agreed to terms with their veteran guard, bringing back a steadying locker-room influence who just happens to be one of the top clutch shooters of the last decade.
The negotiations got off to a slow start, with the Lakers not willing to match the $5 million per year Fisher was paid under his previous contract. After re-signing Fisher, the Lakers now have two solid, chemistry-enhancing veterans, the other being Steve Blake, at ball-handling guard in their backcourt.
"I have decided to continue with Kobe [Bryant], continue with our teammates and the fans of Los Angeles," Fisher said in a statement. "While this may not be the most lucrative contract I've been offered this off-season, it is the most valuable. I am confident I will continue to lead this team on and off the court. Let the hunt for six begin..."
Fisher repeatedly endorsed playing alongside Bryant.
"At the end of the day, there's one person I could not turn away from. Kobe Bryant asked me to stay but supported whatever decision I made," Fisher said. "He and I have played together for 11 seasons, came into the league together as kids, and has been loyal to me even when others had doubts. We have won five championships together."
Fisher, who turns 36 in August, will be the starter at point guard. Blake, whom the Lakers recently acquired after he agreed to a four-year, $16-million contract, will be the understudy.

Welcome back, Fish.
I think with this decision you'll retire with more rings than LeBron James will get in his career. Welcome back to the championship team.

REPOST
Interesting twist -- ESPN says three year deal, last year as a player option. Depending on the dollar amounts, could be a great deal for Fisher.
Posted by: teamn | July 12, 2010 at 01:48 PM
NICE!!!
But 3 years? What is he going to do in 3 years?
1 or 2 years, then ass. coach. Actually, Next season PJ will be gone, I think it's a great chance to have B Shawn as a coach and Fish as asst coach.
Posted by: Magic Phil | July 12, 2010 at 01:50 PM
Kobe with the assist.
Btw, Miami played the Fisher courtship well. Think about it - they bump up Fisher's market value by giving him an offer slightly more than the Lakers were willing to pay. If they get him, great, they get a proven winner with unparalleled experience, on a team that doesn't need any more stars. If they don't get him (which they didn't) they force the Lakers to pay slightly more, further limiting the Lakers ability/desire to sign lower middle tier players to fill out the roster. No lose proposition.

This is great news, the captain is back. Now let's get busy with the bench, Bell, T Mac or re-sign Brown bring back DJ.
Posted by: 2Phatt | July 12, 2010 at 01:53 PM
Now that is how a classy NBA Champion announces his decision. This just goes to show you that Kobe and Fish have a much deeper relationship than just b-ball. These are the Lakers Jordan/Pippen duo. I love them both to pieces and I thank Fish for not holding out and making us stress.
Love you Fish!!! Road to your 2nd 3-peat starts now baby!!!!
Posted by: EastCoastJessie | July 12, 2010 at 01:57 PM
So now Shannon Brown is the one guy left.
It'd be nice if he decides to re-sign with the Lakers as well. But if he doesn't, I'm not too worried about it. With Fish & Blake to cover the PG minutes and Kobe & Sasha to cover the SG minutes, I think the Lakers will be fine. They need one more guard as a backup, preferably a combo guard, but whether it's Shannon or someone else, I think the Lakers core lineup is now set.

Welcome Back D-Fish!!! A team as talent-rich as the Lakers needs to concern itself with the intangibles that make it a TEAM instead of a collection of individual stars. Even Pat Riley recognized that. D-Fish provides all that and more.

To many egos on board to became a true team.
Kobe/Fisher next year will have six fingers with their correspondent NBA ring.
Posted by: karmaniac | July 12, 2010 at 02:04 PM
Whatever he's making is probably too much but you could write it off as back-pay owed for all the times he's bailed the Lakers out. God bless the guy, though, he needs a back-up who can play through most of the game for him at a speed that won't allow other guards to drive past for uncontested lay-ups.

I missed his one hour announcement on ESPN. How long into the hour did it take for Jim Grey to ask the question? I'll bet his clutch shooting highlights looked far better than James' did, too. Poor Miami, dumped on a national tv show. I feel sorry for them.
Posted by: Tony B | July 12, 2010 at 02:07 PM
downtown attorney - i totally agree with you, miami played it perfect. they will undoubtedly be a force to reckon with next year, but i'm not worried. i would like to see one more nice piece added, Shannon or Raja. as for center, i don't see a better all around fit than DJ.

Thanks, Derek! You have always been one of the classiest,toughest players in the NBA. Your leadership was sorely missed when you left us. You are one of the few who prove that it isn't always about the stats. What you bring to the game is not quantifiable. I'm really looking forward to the NBA Finals next year - Lakers vs. Heat - what a monster series that will be! Like an All-Star Game at the end of the season!
BTW, I am so happy for you, your wife and your daughter. Congratulations and best wishes to all of you! I can't tell you how much it affects me when I hear of a well-known person who suffers a personal tragedy such as your daughter's fight with her eye cancer. Every time I have heard of something like this, I wonder how any of you (sports stars, rock stars, politicians, etc) are able to deal with the constant scrutiny of everything you do. I was fortunate to have raised four children who never had to deal with any of this.
Welcome back, Fish! Let's see that Three-Peat!

I used to have respect for you as one of the acceptable trolls around these parts, but you've been nothing but inflammatory and downright disrespectful the last few weeks. All this from a Kings fan who, quite frankly, knows NOTHING about winning.
Bye, bye, Blackbird.

ESPN was going to give Derek a one-hour time slot tonight to announce his decision... until they found out it wouldn't be with Wade LeBosh and the Me-ami Heat. When they found out it was going to be with the Lakers, they decided to give him a ticker at the bottom of ESPN 8, the Ocho, right after the Arkansas Amputee Bowling Championship - Women's Division.

One comment that perhaps never came out:
The first year that Derek came back, the team was on the road for Thanksgiving. Everyone had to stand up at the dinner table and tell what he was thankful for. Derek stood up and said that he was thankful that he was a Laker; that he had been around the league and the Lakers were definitely the best place to be, and that everyone on the team should definitely appreciate being a Laker.
Now, that's class! Welcome back Derek.

Good signing. I like the 3rd year player option, because if Fish's play drops off (which most likely he will at 39 then), the Lakers can groom him to be a player/assistant coach. Mitch the Snake Kupchak does his Jekyll & Hyde trick goes back to Mitch the Brain Kupchak.

W00t! Glad he'll be back!
Like prior years, I suspect Fish's minutes will decrease during the regular season. Having Blake as a backup will only make this easier. And, the minutes will increase in the post season (with a vet guard as a backup).

Year one: Start in the backcourt. Pass on valuable knowledge of The Triangle to BLaker. Plant the seeds for future success.
Year two: Start the first half of the season, 1st and fourth quarters only... predicated on the lead after halftime. Reduce minutes to under-30. Show BLaker the finer points of The Triangle.
Year three: Bench. Limited action to save energy and reduce risk of injury. Transition to the bench, a la Brian Shaw. Hand over the reins to Blake, or whatever sterling acquisition that may come down the pike.
Another Laker Lifer. Welcome back, sir.
DBDH!
Posted by: Don't Blame Del Harris! | July 12, 2010 at 03:11 PM
I would like Blake to start and Fisher to finish. Blake is a more capable basketball player right now. Blake is younger, more athletic, and plays better defense, but he doesn't always have the late game clutch shooting.
Posted by: Li Tai Fang | July 12, 2010 at 03:12 PM
The 3rd year will have the biggest money attached to it. Buss is great at deferring the money to offset current contracts.

Thank you, Gracias, Arigato, Merci', Salamat Derek Fisher....
Whatever you did not attain in your contract, let the Lakers Blog get you some promotional contract. You are much decent than the false King. You will not regret not making additional 2.5 m next season for it will come to you in long term relationship with purple and gold. If Brian Shaw takes over next, next season, you will be the first person to replace him as Asst. If Mitch K., needs an Asst., since Ronnie Lester is being considered by other teams, there is always room for the organizational man. Fisher's talents are not only confined on those last minutes/second clutch shots but also in handling people. There is no age gap in handling people because that is the most difficult thing to achieve, not all good NBA players are good organizational men.
Posted by: Edwin Gueco | July 12, 2010 at 03:25 PM
I loved this comment back and forth on ESPN's blog about the Fisher signing:
"Looks like Pat Riley's master plan fell apart. He also missed out on Jordan Farmer. I guess he'll be looking to sign Shannon Brown next."
______________
"With the lack of cap space the Heat has, Riley has Adam Morrison on speed dial right now."

Steve is feisty and not a pushover -- kinda like ShaSha without the mental lapses..I proclaim that his defense will improve under the tutelage of Kobe/RonRon and the coaching staff....
I think we need to bring back Shannon (hope he gets a shooting coach and works on his ballhandling skills in the summer) ring in TMac and another brut like Craig Smith (can we afford) for down low and we wayyyyyyy better on the bench next year -- get healthy and we'll be gettin it in, in June yet again!!
Posted by: lakersrydeordie | July 12, 2010 at 03:34 PM
Question, if Ebanks and Caracter are the top rookies in the Summer League, why are the Lakers losing games in Las Vegas? A coaching problem, poor closer or poor teammates could be some of the reason but it's bad habits for new 2nd or 3rd Lakers group always losing to fellow newcomers. This could be another inconsistent LO, good scouting report and lack of grit and drive to win games.
Posted by: Edwin Gueco | July 12, 2010 at 03:35 PM
Too bad Derek agree to the Lakers too soon. He should have hold up longer. And ask Espn to hold an hour long show to announce his decision. Says he will make the announcement within ten minutes.
Posted by: Nor Muss Estudillo | July 12, 2010 at 03:36 PM
finally this thing with fish is over. if lakers stay healthy this will be one of better seasons for this team. i think that with miami trio, lakers will be focused from the start. i wish lamar skip national team and gets healthy and rested for training camp. can't wait for season to start. i'm so hyped. i hope we will find decent big body, or maybe caracter will be good enough to be ours big baby and that ebank will cover sf position well. anyone knows whats going on with luke? surgery or something?

He thinks that was great and his choice would turn gold, it was a backlash and I believe the Miami Heat would absorb the disgust of the nation. It's overkill, overhype and oversell, the reaction today is purely negative. Bad PR because it was done in poor taste.
