Thank God he didn't end up in Miami!
Mo Williams will be returning to the Milwaukee Bucks after agreeing in principle to a six-year, $52 million contract, ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan has learned.
The breakthrough in negotiations came when the Bucks increased their original offer as Williams was being heavily courted by the Miami Heat . Williams will have a player opt-out clause after the fourth and fifth year of the deal, which has an average annual salary of $8.67 million.
Williams was seeking a deal that would earn him similar money to what other starting point guards were making, but with money tight on this summer's free agent market, his leverage was limited. Miami and other teams could only offer Williams, who averaged career-bests of 17.3 points and 6.1 assists with the Bucks this past season, the mid-level exception of $5.3 million.
Signing Williams had been a priority for the Heat largely because the Heat have concerns about the health of incumbent starter Jason Williams -- who has battled several injuries during his two seasons in Miami and is rehabbing this summer at his home in Central Florida.
Agent Mark Bartelstein said the contract should be finalized early next week.

He got a nice lil contract...I'm glad we got Fisher.

nigga got screwed...

How could you be? Mo is only gonna better, well worth the extra $$$, Fisher on the other hand, is a model athelte, but his career is dwindling, and he's not gonna be any better for LA.
-
Damn I wanted the Heat to get him, he's pretty fuckin' legit, he scores, assists, and rebounds, good for him tho, he's makin' bank
-
laker fans are still basking in the old fisher glory days. he WAS a damn good player back in the day.
-
I don't know if this is true or not, but doesn't he have like the worst fieldgoal percentage in NBA history?
-
I don't know if this is true or not, but doesn't he have like the worst fieldgoal percentage in NBA history?
Nah, 43.2% career, shot almost 45% last year.

Mo is more expensive...Fisher is a veteran and knows the triangle...We addressed our point guard issues.

He shoots 40% on his career, which is not bad, considering a good portion of his attempts are threes...PeACe

Oh....well i do think he has the worst career FG % in either the playoffs or finals so u might be right.

So what if u have to spend as little more money. I think Fisher will be ok, but he's not the answer u guys need at the point, especially in the West. Mo Williams has a tremendous upside and Fisher has been inconsistent his entire career, plus has his mind on many other things.

Fisher was the best available for the money we had...LOL@saying he's not the answer when he fills in all of our needs, an experienced veteran leader point guard who flourishes in the triangle. And dude's never been inconsistant, that's one thing you can't claim about Fisher. He's been serviceable his whole career and he's playing at his best. Everyone remembers how great he performed last year in the playoffs with "many other things on his mind"...PeACe

Well, Mr. Insider, tell us the correct answer then.
I realize your gonna suck the Lakers off no matter what but, Mo Williams now>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Derek Fisher at any point in his career. You guys won't even make the playoffs with Fisher. U need better players, and LMAO at you thinking this team is gonna run the triangle well next year. ROFL.

You are a disgusting hater. Get off my nuts and stop being such an uninformed douchebag...And stop making up fake stats as well, Fisher has a 43 FG% in his playoff career...

Actually I was right, Fisher shot an amazingly bad 35.7% in 2002 in 19 GAMES! Worst playoff shooting % every in a season.
-
First off, moron, that's in 19 games, an injured season...Second of all, that's not even close to the worst ever, "NBA fan".

You fool, that's 19 game in the PLAYOFFS. Worst playoff performance EVER.

LOL@thinking 36% is the worst in playoff history. :-X

THE dutch master you're hating on Fisher for no reasons. Plus you're not even a Laker fan, so why the fuck you care? We Laker fans are pretty happy about his signing, don't tripp homie. Oh, and talking about FG % in the Playoff, if you are an Heat fan, you already know last year Eddie Jones shot .222% from 2pts and Williams shot .250%, don't you? Or maybe you're a Cavs fan? If so you should know there're 5 (five) players of the Cavs who shot worse than 35.7%, don't you? Tell me which team do you support and i'll remember you about some stats you might have forgot..
-
^Vince against the Cavs [.354] :whistle:
-
C'mon, there are tons of those stats, you just named ANOTHER one. Anyway i remember Fisher shooting incredible well from 3pts in one of our playoffs (we won the title that year). I'm at office and i don't have time to check it, but he has shot great in the playoff too.
-
^^ don't trip... these are some members who have a full time job talking shit about the Lakers and try to piss their fans off... people spend more time talking about what/who they hate than what/who they like
-
Phillybitch exposes himself, once again. Thanks for confirming that you don't watch basketball.

The Nets, all the way in 08 pimp. But I'm not hating on Fisher. Comparing him to Williams is gonna sound like hate to Laker fans simple because Mo is SOOOOO much better.
As far as FG% goes we aren't talking about 2 pointers, we are talking about overall FG%. 2nd of all, Spargeez is the one who questioned it, I heard the same remark that an announcer made that he did in this years GS/Utah semi finals. Difference is, Kobe's towel boy comes in here calling me an idiot. In that year, Fisher had either the worst overall playoff FG% in more than 15 games played, or he had the worst FG% in a finals series among QUALIFING players. Not hate, and if you'll check my first post in this thread regarding said topic, you will see that I too was questioning it. Sorry I don't spend all day memorizing stats like some folks, ( all the stat info I posted I got of NBA.com ) but only ppl with no life do that anyways. Not necissarily refering to you, cuz I don't know you, but if the shoe fits...

Hating ass Phillybitch forgot to mention that Fisher shot 52% from the field in the 2003 playoffs, including 62% from 3... :-X

You can't walk away like that. It only takes me 2 mins to check some stats. So you was talking about total field goals (2pts, 3pts & FT) percentage? Not just 2pts %? Aight, ok. If so, Fisher shot 133/305 during the 2001/02 playoff, which means .436% from the floor. Which ain't that horrible anyway. But a promise is a promise, so i have two names from the Nets for you. Jason Kidd and Marcus Williams, aight? Let's start with Marcus. Well, he shot 13/49 from the floor in the last playoff, so that means .265%. Is it horrible enought? For sure it is worse than Fisher's .436% right? Ok, it was just an unlucky playoff, i give you that. Kidd? Let's do this: let's compare the playoff career average % of Kidd with that horrible performance of Fisher in 2001/02, aight? Ok. Kidd is 1015/2324 from the floor in the playoff. Which means .436%. What?? .436%? Yes, exactly the same percentage Fisher had that you was talking shit about! .436% (oh, and just to let you know Fisher career average in the playoff is .483%). I'm done with you, boy. See ya.

No I didn't forget to mention it, I'm not talking about the 03 playoffs at all. I never brough it up, and yeah I don't like the Lakers, but I'm not hating on Fisher at all. Only a dickriding Lakers fuckboy would think so. Any REAL basketball fan ( not groupie NIK, fan ), will tell you Mo Williams now>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fisher ANY year. You will NOT even make the playoffs with this dude as your starting point. That's not hating, that's fact. Iverson is my favorite player and I'll tell u straight up he will never win a championship if he is the team's 1st or 2nd option. Not hating at all, get the Lakers collective dicks out of your mouths please?

You're just a pathetic Phillybitch, not even worth arguing with...When did I say Fisher was better than Mo Williams? And Lakers wont make the playoffs with Fisher as the starting PG? LMAO. Slap yaself...
