Why the Thunder should take Derek Fisher

Seeing as this is my first post, we should start with the most important fact:

I am a die hard fan of the Los Angeles Lakers.

(Cue boos, flying debris, and Kobe assault jokes.)

In all seriousness, Fish was absolutely key to a lot of the Lake Show's success over the past decade or so, and from the bottom of our hearts, all of the LA fans truly appreciate what he has done for the organization.

But the 0.4 shooter is done with the Lakers (for now...?)

In the meantime, we all know that this guy is going to sign with a major contender.  But why?

It's not necessarily his occasional brilliance in the clutch, or his swiftness on the court, but it's most importantly his experience in the playoffs, and his ability to lead a team emotionally.

Look at how many playoff games Derek Fisher has appeared in.  He's played every historically great team in the league in the regular season, as well as the playoffs, and yes, he's even played the Lakers during his brief tenure with the Warriors and the Jazz.  Derek Fisher knows the game well, but more importantly, he knows the teams, the offenses, the strategies, all of it.  A team like the Thunder has been a dangerous threat in the NBA for the past couple years, but their players are relatively inexperienced in the playoffs, and knowing how veterans like Duncan, Bryant, and Nowitzki work is extremely important for a deep run in the playoffs.  Durant and Westbrook are arguably the best 1,2 punch in league, but having Fisher, who's played all of the scary Western Conference teams (or been on them) plenty of times, would make an even deeper impact on their success.  And, with the season-ending injury of Eric Maynor, Fisher could fill a player void that the Thunder want before the playoffs begin.

Another reason why Fisher could be beneficial to the Thunder is his ability to lead.
Phil Jackson previously called Fisher the spokesperson of the Lakers.  He's also the [official] spokesperson  for the NBPA, as he is a great speaker and seems to be a nice guy.  Fisher is one of the more mature, focused, and driven players, even in his old age, and he can give those motivational speeches, the famous ones that have brought Lakers the success that they have had in the past decade.  Durant and Westbrook have the skill, but as young guns, they don't necessarily have that capability to motivate and energize their team, especially during a stressful time in the playoffs.  The Heat have young stars also, but LeBron and DWade have plenty experience to motivate their players, and hell, the Big 3 can work just fine on their own.  Fisher has that motivation that he can relay to his teammates, and such spirit and wisdom, paired with the aggressiveness and sheer talent currently on the Thunder, can bring OKC the championship they deserve.
