"I am extremely honored to announce that I will join the Oklahoma City Thunder in pursuit of the 2011-2012 Championship. What these players, coaches and front office have created is special. My representatives and I had conversations and offers from several teams, however, this just feels right and this is a choice I am confident in.

I will earn my spot on this team and do whatever my teammates need me to do to get us to a championship. I will also lead to the best of my ability whether from the bench, in the locker room or on the court.

Thank you to my fans, friends and family that have reached out. While I am surprised by recent events, I look forward to contributing to the Thunder and continuing to play the game I love so much and have fought so hard to bring back.

To Kobe, Pau, Andrew, Matt, Steve, Devin, Darius, Josh, Drew, Troy, Metta, Luke, and Jason, and all my teammates in Los Angeles through the years, thank you for your friendship, for the camaraderie, for pushing me each and every day to achieve greatness and letting me lead you the best way I knew how. You each have a lifelong friend and supporter in me.

Los Angeles will always have a place in my heart, it will remain a home to my family and my businesses, but basketball will be played elsewhere and I look forward to seeing everyone on the court ... even if it is in a different uniform."

Good for Fish.

Just an opinion, reading between the lines. He thanks every single Laker player; I don't expect him to thank the front office or anything, but not even his own coach Mike Brown? Reminds me of that "There are just some cousins at Christmas dinner that we all wish weren't there" quote from Fish a few weeks ago.

Nice post bro, good to see Fish thanking his team mates, be curious to see if his statements kill any chance at returning to the organization.

He would have to do something like burn a Laker jersey midcourt at a Thunder game for him to be blacklisted by the Laker organization.

He made sure to name every player by name to emphasize how he didn't mention the Front Office.

Also I sorta wish he left one name out lol

no love for FO or coaches

Yea I found that interesting, that he actually names each person he'd like to thank. You do that when you're trying to exclude not include.

I hope the guy does well with OKC.

"thanks to teammates for pushing me to greatness"


Now that is some funny chit....

Fisher had 3 points his first game.

Good for Fisher, I hope he gets pt! As long as it doesn't come at our cost I'm fine with it!

what the ... SIT down ugh

Dam I am looking forward to seeing him check in against us next week!......


....... AND ILL BE THERE LIVE TO SEE IT! YEEEAAAAHHH

I wish him well as a person and when he's not playing the Lakers..I do not wish him well when he plays against us though and that is the way it should be. I would like to see him back as a coach but Jim Buss is a joker I doubt it'll happen.

What a childish and moronic thing to say. Fish is a Laker legend show some respect.

S#!t, I'd love to see Fish go there and average 30 a game, as long as the Thunder crash and burn.
