What is probability that Derek Fisher actually plays a game in a Rockets uniform?

    Considering he's played like 538 consecutive games in a row which is the longest streak in the league right now, I would imagine he exepcts to be in uniform and playing the very next game.

    Also why would Morey pull the trigger on a trade for a player he never intends to use or play because he's that infatuated with what probably amounts to a late, perhaps even very late first round pick?

    Is it true that Kevin McHale has even one player on his roster that approximately has anything close to the number of wins, the number of playoff wins the number of championships that Fisher possesses.

    The Rockets are supposedly fighting for a playoff birth. if they're just planning on rolling over and laying dead that's another story. But if somebody could possibly imagine that a player with the chops of a Fisher to go along with a Camby, are of no help to the cause right now?

    Well maybe that says a whole lot about why it's been so long since the Rockets were relevant.

    About 33.3%... repeating of course. That is until Leroy Jenkins comes along and ruin our plans.

    Morey will not address Derek Fisher. Expect buyout.

    How about no chance? I do not think the rockets need him, the rocket fans do not like him with our uniform too.

    We need Fisher for the playoffs against the Lakers. I know it won't happen likely of a buyout, but lol. We win against Lakers, we can treat Fisher whatever we want to, we determine his future.

    If we were playing the Lakers in the playoffs (hellaciously unlikely), Fisher just as soon poop in our gatorade than try to help us win. Hope he GTFOs.

    It cost the Blazers around $8M in cash considerations and salary dumps to trade for the 24th pick in 2007.

    If Fisher agrees not to pick up his option for next year I will like him a little bit.

    LA doesn't want Fisher. Why else would they have traded him.... LOL. I'm pretty sure Morey never told them, "Deal is off if Fisher isn't included." :grin:

    I think a buyout was talked about before he even got traded.

    i like the fact he is head of the players union.

    i like that he is a proven playoff performer.

    i like that he is a veteran with championship experience.

    this has MOREY ASSET written AALLLLL over it.

    and i really like that he can no longer help the lakers.

    let him play. derek fisher is a good player. he can shoot and play either guard spot.
