My vote is Clippers. Seems like they need him with Billups being out for the year. Bulls could use the veteran leadership in the locker room. Didn't the heat pursue him big time before he signed with LA last year? Spurs also interested from what I read on espn.com... He isn't liked around here, but he'll be a great addition to a championship caliber team as a backup/locker room presence.
Clippers maybe. He wouldn't have to relocate. Clippers could use a guy like Fisher since they're pretty inexperienced.

Isn't Maynor out? They could also use some veteran leadership. Fisher is a well liked player and the youngins will listen to him. Player 10 mins a game and has a player/coach like position.
^^ I understand why Rockets fans hate on Fisher, but I'm sure he is well liked and respected around the league. He was the head of the Players' Union or whatever in the negotiations. Although he is a garbage player now he does have 5 rings and has hit many big shots in his time. Players will listen to his advice.
My bet is Miami, they Lebron called him and tried to recruit him last year. Spurs and clippers are big Laker rivals and doubt he would want to spurn the lakers or help any of their rivals like that.
The only people who think that are 13-19 year old kids on cf.net in the city of Houston, TX who like to overreact like little girls reading a gossip mag.
Absolutely. Concerning his entire body of work in the NBA? And his work as the president of the players union? Absolutely. And the way he handled everything he went through with his daughters illness and stuck by his wife's side the whole time while flying all over to specialists for his daughter's condition? Absolutely the guy is a class act. He had an incident with Scola that was ****ty, but does one mistake discount everything else? I guess in your mind it does (because it happened against the rockets).
Do you fall into the 13-19 yr old teeny bopper range I posted above? If so, revist this thread when you are 25+ and you'll understand how life works.
So we are pretending that the last 4 days did not happen? Get traded (on a team which needed a backup PG due to injury), get butthurt, not report since that team is not a contender, force a buyout? Yeah a true professional and class act. If JaVale McGee did that, everybody would be up in arms.
The guy even has a book on Character. http://www.amazon.com/Character-Driven-Life-Lessons-Basketball/dp/1416580530
