Fisher was traded to the Rockets and it appears very likely that he won't even play for them. Assuming he is bought out and under the rules he can't return to the Lakers, will he just retire or is there a contending team out there that might sign him for cheap to serve as a backup?

imo he'd be better off going back to la in some sort of coaching or office position. idk what team could use him really.

 

[Mexi]

he's been done
time to call it a career

Not that he'd have been useful, but if Houston had traded LA a veteran who never showed, people would talk shit about him.

uh, no

not if it was an identical situation to this.
Fisher was told not to show up. Hell, when Morey announced the trades he said "We acquired Marcus Camby and a 1st round pick". he didn't even mention Fisher. Fish was never in the plans

Yep.. he should just retire now.

We need PG help but I don't want Fisher. Would rather have Arenas or someone like him but I wouldn't want Arenas around Westbrook lol
