The move that was predicted a couple of days ago has now come through with the report from Adrian Wojnarowski that Derek Fisher has reached a buyout agreement with the Houston Rockets. His surprising trade to the resulted in the Chronicle’s Jonathan Feigen predicting this would happen, but it took a few days to come to fruition. Now Fisher should have his freedom.

Yahoo! Sports’ Wojnarowski writes, “Fisher will likely have a deal with a contender soon. A new rule in the collective bargaining agreement doesn’t allow him to get bought out after a trade and re-sign with the Lakers this season. Fisher had a $3.4 million player option on his 2012-13 contract.”

Fisher is a 15-year NBA veteran who had started every game this season for the L.A. Lakers before the trade. Is it possible he goes back to Los Angeles? Expect something to happen soon enough as teams try to bolster their roster for the stretch run before the playoffs.

What a ripoff for the Rockets. Why should they have to pay a guy who didn't report. Just suspend his "Character Driven" *** for the rest of the year and not pay him a dime unless he sits on the end of the end of the bench for the next month and half.

Bro, sorry, I think I just deducted rep from you when I meant to add it. I agree with this so much so. If I were the Rockets GM or HC, I'd publicly detail exactly what's transpired with Fisher, saying how he's essentially blackmailing the organization so he can ride Kobe's coattails and how we, as an organization will not release him simply because he's unhappy and unable to come to the realization that he wasn't wanted where he was and hasn't come to the realization that the NBA is a business despite the fact that he's a veteran who's the player's rep for the union.
 
I was always on the fence with Fisher hate. I have fully jumped the fence and am throwing a party on the hate side now.
