The Lakers have sent point guard, Derek Fisher, to the Houston Rockets for Jordan Hill and a 1st round draft pick.

This reported on Twitter by Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! sports.

Fisher’s future has been in speculation since the Lakers traded for Ramon Sessions for Luke Walton and a draft pick earlier today.

It’s now been decided as Fisher will head to Houston, who just dealt point guard Johnny Flynn to Portland in a three-player deal.

Fisher has truly been a crucial part to the Lakers success over the past decade and a half and will be missed by many Laker fans.

Let’s fix this: The Lakers have traded Derek Fisher and a 2012 first-round pick (via Dallas) for Jordan Hill, league sources tell Y!
