LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh is a nice little trio down in South Beach, but still, there's only one NBA championship among them. Enter (perhaps) Derek Fisher.
The veteran point guard is reportedly visiting with Pat Riley and the Heat on Saturday, and he'll be bringing the experience of a five-time champion.
The Los Angeles Times, citing a "source close to the situation," said that Fisher still hopes to be a Laker next season but that contract negotiations are "moving at a slow pace."
"He's there to hear [Riley] out." the source told the L.A. Times. "I think Derek is going to take everything under consideration before he makes a decision."
Fisher would almost undoubtedly have to take a major-pay cut to play in Miami, but it would be hard to not count the Heat as automatic favorites for next year's championship if Fisher were added. Then again, they may be favorites without him, anyway.
Fisher averaged 7.5 points and 2.5 assists in 27.2 minutes per game last year with the Lakers. Known for his penchant for hitting clutch shots, he drained a 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter of Game 7 against the Celtics to tie the game. The Lakers would not relinquish the lead for the rest of the game.
