Derek Fisher was signed by the Dallas Mavericks this week, after beginning the season without a spot on an NBA roster. Fisher finished last year as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, but found himself without a job to start the year while reportedly looking to catch on with a contender.

Since no offers from good teams were rolling in, Fisher chose to get in the game anywhere he could, rather than remaining unemployed.

Not only will he get a chance to impart some of his veteran leadership to the team’s younger players, but he’ll get to do so while holding down the starting point guard spot beginning with his first game with the team on Saturday.
