What a dump signing... the team doesn't need a Fisher; they need to develop the talents and fire the coach

OKC had better not get off to a slow start or he's going to retire (read: whine his way out) again...at least for a few weeks until a spot in Miami opens up.

What are the Thunder thinking? they should've seen all the YOLO 3's he was chucking up in the playoffs as a sign NOT to sign him.

Honestly after losing guys like Harden, then K Mart, there is no risk in retaining D Fish. The man still plays 100% every game and all those hard charges he takes, are valuable. He was taking all those 3's because no one else besides KD was shooting or could make a shot. Remember D Fish hits big jumpers at times.

Derek Fisher is one of the worst offensive players in the league at this point in his career (he shot 34% from the floor last year) and can't guard a chair.

Also, Scotty Brooks is an idiot who has horrible rotations (plays Perkins and Fisher an unexplainable amount) and never goes for the 2-for-1.

Go back to your fantasy league, idiot.

You're the idiot. Derek Fisher is one of the worst offensive players in the league at this point in his career (he shot 34% from the floor last year) and can't guard a chair.

Also, Scotty Brooks is an idiot who has horrible rotations (plays Perkins and Fisher an unexplainable amount) and never goes for the 2-for-1.

Say what you will, but it was quite obvious that Brooks was outcoached in every round of the playoffs last year.
Hollins and McHale both bested him.
It was fortunate the Thunder had more talent and experience than the Rockets or they may well have lost that series had it come down to coaching.
