Press Enterprise: For all intents and purposes, Derek Fisher will re-join the Lakers.
Fisher and the Lakers have agreed to a three-year contract worth about $13,959,000, league sources said.
However, there will be a holding period before he can sign the contract. Fisher, who was released by the Utah Jazz last week, has to clear waivers first.
It’ll take seven days before Fisher can clear waivers, and that won’t start until his previous contract of $20,592,600 that he walked away from is amended to zero dollars.
As of Wednesday night, the Jazz had not filed the paperwork with the NBA about Fisher’s release. The seven-day countdown to Fisher’s being free and able to sign with the Lakers won’t start until Utah does.
Another team could pick up Fisher before he clears waivers. But if it does, that team will be on the hook for all of Fisher’s $20,592,600 salary.
Fisher’s contract with the Lakers will start at $4.3 million, which is less than the mid-level exception for next season at $5.3 million.

‘Sup Fatty)) how’s the trade meter doing after the info on Fish?
Welcome home D Fish,
You will win us a world championship and get MVP. Who needs Garnett when you have the Fish Man!! Kobe and Dfish all the way. Now all we need is to get Slava Medvedenko back in the purple and gold.
GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!

Meter Dude will update in the PM when all the articles have come thru for the day.
Thanks for asking.
Awsome news about Dfish.
But what is the am addition?
WOOOOOT WOOOT!!
now all we need i KG or JO
Welcome back!!! It took long enough but hey…we got it done. I really like what I’m seeing from “JAVA”! He’s looks really good. He scores quietly, very discreet. Loving that!!! Farmar’s gonna have his work cut out…
Thank U GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
kobeguru
meter dude is wanting more money and will only give me one prediction a day, so we agreed for the pm. check back later.
Thanks for asking.
That is cool!!!!!!
YES welcome back Fish
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe this happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i made my name before i had any clue he was leaving the jazz, i was hoping we’d make some trade for him ;). I wanted him back sooooooooo bad and now it happened!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooot!
OH GREAT!!!!!! If the FISH signs on, that would solve half the problem. We really do not need KG at this point because they are asking to much for him. All we need is find out how we should get JO without giving up Odom. That is the other half of the problem. If we do this it would be:
Fisher
Bryant
Odom
JO
Mihm
This would be good enough for this year.
That so when KG opts out next year it would look like this:
Fisher
Bryant
Odom
JO
KG
Mission accomplished!!!!!! This would be good enough to
optain the KOBE!!!!!!!!

Awsem
slava mavendenko sucks!!!!
If we can’t get KG this season, trade Bynum for JO, and Farmar, Cook, and Kwamie for Artest. This would give us:
Pg Fisher
SG Kobe
SF Artest
PF Odom
C JO
Then next season sign KG and add him to the mix.
This is probably a dream because of the Salary Cap.
“FISH I sure hope its CATFISH” WELCOme BaCk D.FISH. veteran experience is always great on the court and in Crunch time O.4……..LAKERS4LIFE.
sweet and we still ahve a million left to spend dont know what to do with it though
whats up with that guy saying slava is the 3rd best player in the NBA??? is it slava using a different name?
I like the dreams about Kobe Odom JO KG or Artest and Fisher but i think the Lakers are not going to make any big moves anymore unless we are getting rid of kwame, vlade, cook, or sasha

{Profanity isn't allowed on theLakersNation.com -- Please go back and edit your comment. Thank you.} You, Flipside!!! There are only two people in the NBA better than Slava and those people are Kobe and the Fish. Plus Slava would ball you up any day. So watch your mouth!!!
GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!
Also {Profanity isn't allowed on theLakersNation.com -- Please go back and edit your comment. Thank you.} you Lakerfreak, you are just a Kingsfreak in disguise. Go Slava!!!
GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Fatty, make a trade-o-meter to get Slava Medvedenko. He is the third best player in the NBA. And he is so underrated that you can get him for less people than for Garnett and he will make a better contribution for a championship. Forget about KG, JO, and LO; go for Slava!!!
GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome back D Fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else find that close up picture of Fisher kinda creepy? Makes me sort of uncomfortable for some odd reason.
Welcome back D-Fish..This was half the battle! Now if we can get rid of LOser, Sorry ASS, and Clumsy and get JO, Troy Murphy, and Danny Granger, we will be straight!!
magicman i like dat move man nobody understands dat move…
