Derek Fisher Appears Headed Back to the Lakers

Derek Fisher will be wearing purple and gold next season. At least according to a couple of reports (See here and here)that is.

Speaking as a life long Lakers fan, can I just say 'phew' (wipes sweat from brow).

Derek has become an icon in this city. Just as beloved as current and past Laker greats. Not to mention he was an indispensable part of the Lakers 5 most recent championship seasons. He is the heart of this team and I don't know if the team could have survived with the heart ripped out.

It almost seemed inconceivable at the end of this season that Derek would sign with another team (especially the Miami Heat) but as time wore on it didn't seem so far fetched. Could Derek really leave?

But it looks like Lakers fans can breath a sigh of relief, the little point guard that could is coming back.

And hopefully he is bringing another world championship with him.

Edit: July 13th- Derek has officially said he will be coming back to the Lakers
