The thing about Fisher is that he is a douchebag that uses his family's health issues as a shield to being a self-entitled spoiled kid. And this is the 3rd time this has happened where he ends up on a crappy team and uses his family as an excuse to go to a title contender. Utah, Houston and now Dallas. Its like the tag for this thread says "championships cure cancer." What a low life to use your family in such a way.
He may be rich, but he is morally bankrupt. This is worse than Odom quitting on the team. As a Mavs fan, yes Odom was more fruserating/insulting. But if these 2 guys were to have never been Mavs and did this to some other team, most people here would probably agree that Fisher was the bigger douchebag. Since he used his family as leverage and he has done it now 3 times.
Maybe this should be a lesson for us when thinking about picking up ex-Lakers, like Dwight Howard, in the future. We have struck out now 2 years in a row with the experiment. It seems ex-Lakers have been spoiled and their egos have been inflated with this great sense of self-entitlement. If they dont get their way they would rather quit on their teammates than suck it up for the betterment of the team. Howard has already shown he fits into the same mold.
I will give him this, Fisher was decent for the Mavs. Some people here talk about how he is washed up and is worthless, but for those 9/10 games he gave us a Kidd-like presence on the floor. Sadly, he was our best point guard and outplayed Collison while here. The Mav's are weaker without Fisher than with him. Heck just look at his replacement in Mike James. Fisher is MUCH better than James.
