If Knicks and Evan Fournier can't find a trade and he gets bought out, would the Celtics be interested in in signing him to a vet min. deal?
Fournier had decent chemistry and pretty good numbers 45% FG Pct and 46% 3PT Pct in his time in Boston. He would serve a purpose off the bench. Any thoughts?
He won’t get bought out; he’ll be used as expiring in a trade and if a trade doesn’t come; they can still pick up his team option and try it again. Expiring salary is gonna be mega useful again under the new cba when it’s getting harder to dump long term bad money to cap space team.
0 chance he gets bought out; Knicks books are surprisingly clean; helps that Brunson and randle both make under 30 mil aav
He would be like Gallo - bought out after a trade where he was moved as matching salary. Not unlikely at all in that context.
Not sure I love the idea but don't hate it either - though his numbers last year are ugly.
