im a die hard lakers fan! i love them and always will. but fishers time was over before last season. He is old, he is slow, he isnt hitting shots, and he isnt contributing with assits. he is a swinging gate on defense and he is getting paid good money. great move to go with Sessions. sessions much better for the lakers backcourt IMO

Liked this. I had no idea the new luxury tax was so punitive.

Big Derek Fisher fan, probably the only likeable person on the Lakers the past 10 years. Has as many playoff game changing, series altering, shots/plays as about anyone out there.

Mr. Eifling, this was a good post. Infinitely better than the one about the AP story, IMO. I enjoyed it- more like this please.

A former boss of mine likes to say that the easiest thing in the world to do is someone else’s job.

Everyone’s ganging up on JMac these days.

I think there’s still a joke about JMac’s poorly written posts of late in there somewhere, i just don’t have the energy for it.

Raiders just got a 3rd, 4th , and 5th round comp picks…were in the game!
/I will trade them all to get in the back end of the 1st round, just to participate in the TBL Commenter mock draft

So Durant and Westbrook will destroy the Lakers in the Playoffs and Fisher will average 2 points 2 assists and get credit for it?

Right. And Adam Morrison is the reason the Lakers won back to back titles a couple years ago.

Luke Walton would like a word

Fisher has found a no-lose situation. It’s what leaders do.

Babar, your point is interesting. I wonder just how that will be sold to the players’ association – “you superstar players will now get less money, and like it. If you disagree, go to China/Israel/etc.”

A lot more NBAPA votes coming from players 3-12, who’ll want to keep their jobs.
