    NEW TODAY: Jazz likely to get Fisher, deal Brown, McLeod and Owens
    By Steve Luhm
    The Salt Lake Tribune

    The Jazz and Golden State plan to pull the trigger on a four-player trade that would bring veteran point guard Derek Fisher to Utah.
    The Salt Lake Tribune has learned - barring an unexpected hitch - the Jazz will send Devin Brown, Keith McLeod and Andre Owens to the Warriors in exchange for Fisher, a 10-year veteran.
    The deal will be completed after Owens signs a free-agent contract with the Jazz next week - a step that is necessary to make the trade adhere to NBA salary requirements.
    Free agents are not allowed to sign new contracts before July 12.
    Fisher, the 24th pick in the 1996 draft, spent his first eight years in the league in Los Angeles with the Lakers, where he played on three championship teams.
    Signed as a free agent by Golden State in 2004, Fisher played the last two seasons with the Warriors.
    Last year, he averaged 13.3 points and 4.3 assists while shooting 37.3 percent from the three-point line for a team that failed to reach the playoffs for the 12th straight year.
    Fisher is probably best known for his game-winning shot in Game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference finals.
    After San Antonio had taken a 73-72 lead in Tim Duncan's 18-foot jumper with 0.4 seconds remaining, the Lakers' Gary Payton inbounded the ball to Fisher.
    In one motion, he caught the ball, turned and fired a 20-foot fallaway jump shot. It went in and, after TV replays confirmed he released the ball in time, the Lakers took a 3-2 lead in their series with the Spurs en route to the NBA Finals.

    Great trade for the Utah Jazz. Fisher is a good shooter and defender. Don't know why Warriors would trade him considering Baron Davis is always injured. Jazz are getting better every year. They added Fisher, Ronnie Brewer, Dee Brown, and Paul Milsap. If they stay healthy which they haven't for past two years, they could make the playoffs.

    Looks like a pure salary dump by the Warriors. I wonder who else could be had on that roster for chumps and change.

    This is a strange trade, GSt. gives their best ballhandler and most consistant player not named Jason Richards and Utah trades 3 players and doesn't get the one thing they need: scoring.

    Malone's white at heart.

    As for this trade, I like it. The Jazz dump a mediocre player in Brown, a bad player in McLeod and a liability in Owens, for a solid shooter (something Utah sorely lacks!). Of course this trade, with Fisher's salary, may not look good in a couple of years.

    Monta Ellis is the reason why, he showed so much potential. He reminds me a bit of Arenas.
