Lakers may pursue Fisher to help rookie Crittenton

[BAMAPHIN 22]

The Lakers have a new young point guard and might be interested in bringing back one of their old point guards to give the rookie some guidance.

Would be a solid signing. Also a guy who Kobe is familiar with and shared success with.

I think he could help out the young Jordan Farmar as well. I just hope Fisher is happy wherever he goes. I don't think there is a better person in the NBA.

I'm still annoyed LA took him. The Heat could really have used Crittenton, especially after failing to trade up to grab Acie Law.

Point guard Derek Fisher, who played an integral role on the Lakers' three-peat team earlier this decade, has agreed in principle to a three-year contract, the Los Angeles Times reports. The deal is worth roughly $14 million.

hes a good point guard

..he's not the answer to the Laker's prayers, but he's a definate upgrade for the position.

Fisher is a nice veteran leader who can help teach up the young guys (J-Crit and Jordan Farmar) with the nuances of the triangle. He is a friend of Kobe's and should help in aliviated some of the tension between Bryant and the team.

I am and always have been a huge Derek Fisher fan. To see him in Purple and Gold again will be nothing but good times for this fan, even if he doesn't set the world on fire.
