A lot of Lakers fans including MYSELF have stated that the Lakers have a weakness at the PG position. Don't get me wrong he does help the team and has made numerous big shots for the Lakers but there are also things that he can no longer do. He's constantly a defense liability. The league is changing and is full of young, fast dynamic, athletic Point Guards that cause match up problems for the aging Fisher. Also Shannon Brown has opted out of his contract, and Steve Blake did not played up to his potential last season. PG depth is definitely a concern, maybe that is why LA drafted two guards in this years draft.
It seems that many Lakers players or members of the organization don't address that as a concern, at least not publicly. And maybe they shouldn't. But it's rare that you see ex teammates, especially ones that have won multiple titles together take shots at each other. Well Robert Horry has done just that. He does state that he is not dissin Horry, but just stating the obvious. He believes that Fish should not be the Lakers starting PG any longer.
Here are his words from LA TIMES:
"No disrespect to Derek Fisher. Derek is alone. I’ve been there, done that. They need a point guard who can distribute the ball, get everyone in order and not be afraid to tell Kobe no,” - Robert Horry
“You can’t outrun age. I think age has caught up to him. There’s some things he can do, but there are some things he can’t do.” - Robert Horry
