Worse than a clown - he used his daughter's illness to renege on two contracts he had cashed in on. I knew it was BS when Fisher said he couldn't play in Utah because he couldn't get the right medical care there, and this only proves it. I hope he got a $1 buyout from Houston.

Plus he's a flopper - I hope he goes unsigned.

"Fisher Gave Up Entire $3.4M Salary For 12-13 In Buyout"

That $3.4 mil is his player option next season... of course he's not getting that he's opting out right? :lol:

He still gets the $1 mil or so left on his pro-rated $3.4 mil for this season... even though he refuses to earn that money from the Rockets.

Fishstiks is a gold digger and looking for his 6th championship to go into a rare group of players. He'd be smart to try to get in Miami as they likely will win it this season. Maybe he can stay there for two years and join Horry with seven championships

Since Monta's departure, Nate Robinson is averaging close to 17 points 7 assists 1.5 turnovers. He's got as little point guard game as Monta, though, but it's nice to know our backup guard can pass the rock occasionally.

This is exactly what he did in NY. He averaged something like 22/5 for a month and they lost almost all of their games.

Brandan Wright really seems to be carving out a nice spot for himself with Dallas.

The only real shock is that he's been healthy all year.

I wish Biedrins gives management this type of headache.

AB: Boss, I want to play for a championship team. I want to give up my entire contract to play for LeBron and Friends.

Riley: :jawdrop:
Okay. Deal. Can we buy you a 1st class ticket for you and your family?

Nah. GSW is never that lucky. And AB is not that motivated to do anything anyways.

Hollins would be a good pickup as well. Maybe even better than Hickson.

If Nate just didn't shoot so much he'd be an okay back-up point. The problem is that he's one of those "feeling it" players, but he's often the only guy feeling that he's going to make it.

Still, unlike some others, I don't think he can be changed. He is what he is. If he can't stick in the NBA he'll make some fans very happy in Europe or somewhere.

Ellison to bring the Grizz to San Jose? That would be awesome (sorry xRap). Competition is GOOD!

He's nothing, but a semi role player at best. One of the worst trades in franchise history giving JRich for him. People want to compare that with Richmond for Owens trade, but Owens was a good player that was mulittalented and straight away the team won more in his rookie season, BWright was never anything when he was here

Glad to see Kenneth Faried doing so well. He's probably the first sleeper pick I've ever gotten right.
