no the fukk its not.
fournier is at the going rate for a 40 percent high volume 3 pt shooter.
russ is literally paid 3x as much for minimal production

fournier is a good player man
just dont no if he fits this team

He sucks
All he does is shoot 3s and he's also not particularly elite at it just above average

For Mitchell…. fukk yeah. Though two things. If I was the Knicks I would dangle that out there and see who bites even if Utah says no. Three first, and two good players might get them something unexpectedly good. Also I would switch the years. 2023 unprotected, 2025 protected, and 2027 unprotected.

Basically that 2023 Mavs and 2025 Bucks picks are conveying so the Knicks apwould still be in the draft. 2027 is vaporware at this point the kids aren’t even in highschool yet. And the majority of the Knicks would be in their primes so you got to have faith the team would be good and that pick would be trash.

Knicks traded away their 2022 pick. They can't trade a 1st next year.

he broke our 3 point record
he's a pretty damn good shooter

The mavs pick doesn’t cover that?

 

[RickyGQ]

I wanna say I'd do that in a heartbeat but really idk

Also I don't see why the Lakers would want to get involved. Imo Fournier's contract is much worse than Russ's

Fournier is exactly the player you need next to Lebron and AD. His contract isn’t terrible at all.

 

[Wargames]

Pretty good breakdown of everything going on with the trade rumors

They can once the new year started.

To put this in perspective,
Brunson 55th highest (and it declines in price each year).
Randle 51st highest
Barrett 47th highest (53rd without the incentives)

NBA salaries are higher and about to get way higher after the new tv deal. This is the new normal. For example, KP and Bradley Beal got 400+ million for a worse performing Wizards...Washington just doesn't have dikkriders like New York.

We literally signed RJ for less (percentage of the cap wise) than Jaylen Brown got. We really got a shrewd front office.

the easiest option was right there

lmao bulls are in a position where they have to resign vooch too

 

[Peter Popoff]

Bulls actually have a solid 2 and 3. They're just lacking a pg and forward.

How does Cam request a trade for lack of playing time in the offseason when there aren’t any games being played?


Make it make sense.
