If I was Derek Fisher I would chill and sign with the Lakers when he can (which would be March 2013).
He is old in age and basketball years, better to save his legs for a postseason run than sign with the first team that throws a contract at him.
Kobe Bryant seems it is a no brainer that Fisher will be back.
According to ESPN, the Lakers want to part ways with Chris Duhon and Steve Blake, which could pave the way for Fisher’s return: “I’m pretty confident,’ Kobe says, ‘he’ll find a team.’
