Maybe because he sold out the NBA players union during the lockout? He was president of the union and reportedly went behind the back of the executive director to negotiate a deal with a lower percentage of revenue for the players. |
Yeah. Michelle, his list is pretty long. Don't be surprised if he shows his ass by the all-star break.

does DFish have the guts to reduce minutes for vets who's legs aren't there on back to back? even parker is showing signs of fatigue on just 1 days rest.
when will Toler give LA get a bench that can give them a boost? It just cant be Riq Williams? (Is she a coming back?) Lavender, and every one else can go.

They have a bench, you forget how well they did before Lav and CP played. Agler just didn't play them, he was too attached to a short rotation.

Penny really came out sounding unprofessional in that press conference. CP body language seems like like she isnt feeling this move too. I hoping for the best because DFish as a coach isn't the I was expecting & wanted for LA. No the coach didnt have be a woman but you can't convince me this is the best coach they could find regardless of gender.

I’m not understanding the Parker “body language” aspect. She’s always had RBF. That’ll never change. Can you imagine her being at the press conference if she hated this hire? What would happen if Parker didn’t show? They’d suspend or cut her? You and she both that’s not happening. Forget body language, what about the language coming out of her mouth? Was she lying? Was it scripted for her? She had nothing but positive things to say about Fisher. If anything, I think Parker could be largely responsible for the hire. They work together at TNT. Just a coincidence?
I’m definitely not saying Fisher is the greatest hire in the world, but you never know. I think you’re better off trying something different. Howard Megdal’s leading candidates for the job were retreads Fred Williams and Amber Stocks. How original and creative are those? Those would be about the laziest hires ever. At his age, Fred Williams isn’t changing his coaching philosophy. He was TERRIBLE in Dallas, as in one of the worst ever. His time as a head coach in the WNBA should be done. I think Amber Stocks may have been given a raw deal in Chicago because she wasn’t given a fair amount of time, but we don’t see everything. Maybe there was something off about her that doesn’t make her a great head coach. In any case, she’d be a roll of the dice because she failed at her last gig for whatever reason. Toler has worked with Stocks before so if she was that great in their time together, I’m sure she’d gotten hired.

You said everything I've been thinking! Btw, what's RBF?
I couldn't think of anyone who wasn't a retread....No one really came up with anyone who wasn't a retread. I just don't know how attractive a W job is to a college coach for a number of reasons....so who does that leave us? I was quite shocked by the Agler leaving and still wonder what really happened...but it is what it is at this point. I'm still shocked by the Fisher hire but who knows he may be just what they need. The press conference was somewhat awkward but I expected it to be... I thought CP seemed fine and she absolutely had to be on board with the decision (and may have had a hand in it). I suspect that she'll play for about 2 more years and she has some hardware she'd like to add. It is crazy to see people talk about her being unhappy, leaving LA and wanting to go and try to fit in somewhere else. It is utterly ridiculous!
At any rate, his interview with LaChina was really good. I'm looking forward to seeing what he's able to do with the team...who his assistants are...who they can re-sign and who they bring in....

Players ask for a trade all the time now for lesser reasons then their daughter being seriously sick.

Former NBPA Union President And New Sparks Head Coach Derek Fisher Joins Up With A Shady Luxury Lending Outfit
https://deadspin.com/report-derek-fisher-joins-up-with-a-shady-luxury-lendi-1831061632
Quote: |
Fisher’s newest endeavor could never be confused with something that’s in players’ best interests. By the language of their own website, Luxury Asset Capital turns its profit by capitalizing on the financial hardship of its clients, who, in the scope of Fisher’s department, are wealthy athletes. |

The hate for Fisher is unreal. He is much loved here in the land of Lisa Leslie and Showtime. Wishing him and the team nothing but success! #All4LA 💜💛💜

Sounds like she must be a pretty expensive hire.

This man (and I use that word loosely) is a clean-up woman. I don't know if she was cheating on Anthony with Fisher but Magic and Penny better keep an eye on his behavior this upcoming season.
Quote: |
“Then she traded up to NYPD Blue star Henry Simmons, and they were engaged. Then she was getting married to Patrick Whitesell,” the source claimed.
Miller said he met Sanchez at the Super Bowl in 1996 while she was covering the game.
He said of their four-year relationship: “I couldn’t really trust her. She gets around. She was cheating on me with other guys.” |
Quote: |
Sources close to Sanchez strongly denied his allegations, and claimed it was Miller who strayed.
Either way, we hear that after it ended, Sanchez was linked romantically with Fisher — the Lakers star who went on to become coach of the New York Knicks.
Another source said they dated on and off when they were both single. |

What does all this have to do with him as a coach?? This sounds like high school gossip, get it together.

I'll remember those words (Get it Together) during the season. He's a scumbag and it will show.

Why are you so bothered though?? Did he cheat on you or steal your significant other?? I dont care who slept with who or who cheated on this one or that one. It's clearly none of my business, nor yours. Can we get back to discussing basketball and leave the TMZ bs for another place and time?

I tend to agree. I was not thrilled when Fisher was announced as the coach. I was surprised, blind-sided, disappointed, etc. But I have to at least give him a chance. |

The gossip that I want to know is why did Brian Agler quit the Sparks?
