Someone gave a 1st rounder for Derek Fisher? :oldlol:

Lakers won

Wait, I read 1st round pick would travel the other way around...

Lakers are giving the Rockets a First rounder.

Fisher + a 1st for Hill.

Re: 2012 Trade Deadline Deal: Derek Fisher and a first to Houston for Jordan Hill
 

Wrong. It's Lakers 1st rounder+Fisher for Jordan Hill. This is a pointless move. Fisher was the veteran leader with championship experience. Even as a bench player that's more valuable than a backup to Gasol+Bynum that will never play. He's a capable big with upside.. but far from a game changer.

Sweet, Jordan Hill wasn't developing for us. Paying for a first round pick ain't too bad.

Re: 2012 Trade Deadline Deal: Derek Fisher and a first to Houston for Jordan Hill
 

I was hoping fisher and kobe would retire together in LA after a few years. They came onto the lakers as rookies and grew up together through 5 championships and I wanted to see them retire together.

Best of luck to fish. Although he wasn't great in his last years, he was still a big part of the team. He was the heart and co leader of this team.

Hopefully he will retire and come back to the lakers next season for a limited bench role or even some kind of coaching job.
