D-Fish Returns to Lakers

Derek Fisher, a former Lakers guard who was released from the Utah Jazz recently, will more than likely be putting on a Lakers uniform again next season. His daughter is seeking medical treatment at a facility in Los Angeles, and according to all sources, the Lakers will sign the veteran point guard for three years and $14 million.

Mitch Kupchack, the Lakers GM, had this to say: “That position has been something that we identified as an area where we felt we needed to improve. Not a slight to Jordan [Farmar] and our drafted rookie [Javaris Crittenton], who’s just 19 years old, but at 19 and 20 years old with limited NBA experience, we’re not going to think that they’re going to be the ones that can lead the team next year. Having said that, without naming players that are out there, when we have additional information and we have an announcement, we’ll make that announcement. Right now, we’re not in that position, but we’re getting close.”

So it looks like Los Angeles Lakers tickets next season will get you a view at a rookie and a veteran, paired together in what should be a very cinematic back court. Check out StubHub.com for those tickets.
