I mean, that's better than 20 mil a year at least?

He's not really solving our problems, but he is technically an upgrade over Bullock

So it looks like we're trying to tread water until someone wants to come.


I mean 18 MM isn't crazy. But this out of the gate is confusing unless they already heard from all the big dogs they have no interest in pairing with people.

Like we need to lock up Fournier before we even have the meeting with Kawhi? What if Kawhi wants to try to bring someone else?

We should get Fourner and Frank. Viva la France.

I assume most of the time, you have a good sense of how likely it is one of the big guys signs with you before free agency starts

It's either that, or this was the plan all along.

I am good with Fournier at $20 or less. Schroeder i say no if he’s getting $25, $20 is acceptable for him. Would prefer cheaper guys like Reggie Jackson and Rose starting.

Have to continuously remind myself that nothing has happened yet while reading through this thread :lol:

These reports are all over the place. Going to hold off judgement till we see numbers on contracts cause a lot of these guys look more/less appealing at a given $.

If we strike out on FA hoping we get creative with a trade

But Fred VanVleet and his 38% fg is untouchable for Toronto, def not an albatross contract.

Also jarmi Grant is basically an all-star with 48% eFG

Why though? Just to keep him away from the Heat?

the only way to get one of the best PG available on this team while not messing up the 2022 cap space. Chris Paul wouldnt do it since he just declined a 1yr 47 mil player option. though maybe Lowry would. Its not a long term solution but we kick that decision down the road a year. In the meantime Lowry can help develop all the young players on this team.

Not saying i def do this but i would think about it. Probably would see if i could get him cheaper at 1 yr 35 mil or so first.

Yeah he's not oozing talent obviously but have to disagree with Chanel here, rarely. He held down the Luka role when Luka sat and didn't do too badly either.

Personally, I am fine with Fournier. I would like to see JJ in a Knicks uni (maybe not as a starter, but certainly in a rotation).

This being the plan all along is what concerns me because they tried to get Hayward...so maybe this was the plan. Not sure many people are lining up to play with Fournier.

I also don't know a ton of teams that will be interested in trading for Fournier with his new contract at nearly 20 MM per season.

ORL could barely get a 2nd rounder for him so he obviously isn't someone people don't think they can replicate his production with cheaper talent.

Schroder was looking like prime Jason Kidd against Brunson :lol:
Brunson had only 7 points and 5 assists. Back up numbers
