One source says Bulls are right at top of Fisher's wish list ... but whether Chicago plans to reciprocate that interest remains to be seen

Sources say Spurs, meanwhile, have not ruled out pursuing Fisher w/planned signing of Patty Mills yet to go thru. Link: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/77...yout-agreement

Word is Clippers, by contrast, are unlikely to pursue Fisher, who is said to have strong interest in landing with either Chicago or Miami

Something is delaying the Patty Mills to Spurs deal. Wonder if Morey is throwing more money at him?

I believe Fisher. Of course Morey would say we wanted another season out of him to make him come down on his buy-out demands. He probably gave up his option for free.

Not just on the court, but Fisher is a flopper in real life.

And Fisher said I;m really not interested in playing there. Is there anyway we can work something.

And Morey Man Fish we really need you right now. We're not interested in buying you. Come give us a try. If you donot like it you can opt out this summer. And Fish said man I really would just like to be bought out.

ANd Morey says Man FISH I really really think you'll like it here. And we really really want you. But (long pause as he slips the cattle prod in) if you insist on a buyout the only way I can do that is if you opt out.

Fish says You want me to walk away 3.4 mil. Morey says No. Absolutely not! We really really want you hear. We really really need you. ANd Fisher says so if I opt out you will release me. And Morey says Yes but that not what we want. We really want you. And then pauses and says, Hey why don't you sleep on it. We'll extend the buyout 24 hours and you can get back with us tomorrow. And Fisher does that and then calls back and says, my decisions made up I'll opt out just buy me out now.

And then Fishers agent announces to the media, "After much discussion and expressing their desire to welcome Derek to their team this season as well as the 2012-2013 season, the Houston Rockets and Derek have negotiated a buyout... Derek's desire to win a sixth championship is what drives him and will continue to drive him as he moves forward. We thank the Houston Rockets front office for their interest, time and their absolute professionalism."

Man I'm starting to love Morey. He is the Jedi Master of negotiating!
And the Oscar goes toooooooo....

Even though everyone on here hates him (myself included) we could use him this year definitely. I'd rather have him than Courtney Fourtson.

God I hope we don't get fisher. We are a average defensive team at best right now, and fisher would make us worse. Mills can actually be a piece we can build on for a backup if Cory Joseph doesn't work out or if we finally decide to blow the whole team up after the season, and trade Parker (which I don't see happening anymore).
