Fisher, who won five championships rings with the Lakers alongside Kobe Bryant, arrived at OKC's Will Rogers World Airport and met with Thunder General Manager Sam Presti,.
Fisher was an unrestricted free agent after agreeing to a buyout with the Houston Rockets Monday night, following a surprise trade from the Lakers. Because of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, Fisher cannot return to the Lakers until next season.
