Derek Fisher asked the Jazz to release him. The Jazz honored his request and released him. A few days later he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. He will be rejoining his former team, where he won 3 championships. He should bring a lot of experience to the Lakers backcourt. He will dish out a lot of assists to Lamar Odom and Kobe Bryant. He can still shoot well from long distance too. Most of all he will bring confidence and experience to them, along with good defense. The Lakers are hoping that this move can help them make some noise in the playoffs. Kobe will also have some help on the offensive end. He will not have to take a lot of crazy shots, because Derek Fisher will get him the ball for OPEN shots. He should improve the Lakers and hopefully get them far into the playoffs.
