Derek Fisher Declines Heat Offer To Stay In LA
Posted by Media Outrage on July 13th, 2010
Derek Fisher entertained the Miami Heat’s offer, which included more money than the Lakers were putting on the table, but his decision was to stay in LA with Kobe and pursue their 6th championship together.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Derek Fisher says he’s staying with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The veteran point guard announced Monday in a statement on his website that he’ll re-sign with the Lakers.
The five-time NBA champion entertained offers from other teams as a free agent, including a recent conversation with the Miami Heat. He decided not to leave the franchise where he has spent 11 of his 14 NBA seasons.
Fisher started all 82 games last season, averaging 7.5 points and 2.5 assists. He raised his game in the postseason, averaging 10.3 points to help the Lakers win their second straight title.
Los Angeles lost free agent Jordan Farmar to New Jersey on Monday, but signed Steve Blake last week. Blake likely will share playing time with Fisher.
“While this may not be the most lucrative contract I’ve been offered this off season,” Fisher said in a statement on his website, “it is the most valuable.”
