Don’t think I would do that for an extra 5ppg of production difference between Fournier and THJ. It would pretty much be a lateral move at the expense of two frp’s. I’m on board with taking a chance on Ntilikina, but I don’t think the majority of this board views him as a valued asset.


Look beyond the stats my man.

Orlando is dead last in getting to the line.

THJ is top 20 in the league in drawing fouls (6FTAG) <-- Vuc is our leader in getting to the line at ONLY 3 attempts a game.

Same age, same contract and shooting better than Fournier this season.

If Clifford could make Vuc look like an all star/Ross a 6MOTY candidate/Augustine a top PG, I see no reason why he couldn't do the same to a young player like Nit


I could see WeHam doing it for a simple change of scenery and I’m sure NY would love to get rid of THJ’s contract. You are right that Orlando struggles to get to the line.

I’m curious to see what they plan on doing with Vuc before trading Evan. The return on him could get Orlando some interesting players without shifting Evan and THJ salary.

We just moved from Elfrid Payton to get Jerian Grant to play backup to D.J. Augustin and now we're in rumor talks for Frank Nitilikina. Is this franchise just stupid or dumb as hell when it comes to PGs?

Take out the Cleveland pick and maybe. Depends on who else is on the market that we could nab with the OKC pick.

Agreed, but Frank has more upside than all of those guys. He's raw, but his size is something you can't teach at the pg spot.

Of course he would like Frank here, he is his French homie right? If you think buddy ball with Vuc was vomit-inducing, then the French Buddy-ball will be something else!

Lookeeee here. NYK playing against WAS who like POR have 2 allstar scoring guards. They surely could use a defensive long armed guard in stopping them.

Yet Frank is om the bench with 0 playing time going to the 3rd.

Is his value an all time low?

Main reason why Frank is DNPing is fact that he sucks.

Lee returned, Dotson at least can shoot, Trier isn't as bad as him on offense, Mudiay started to look like nba player....Burke is still there.

Payton was a college defensive player of the year and scoring 19 ppg. at 6'4 with 6'7 wing span. he showed more potential than Frank did.

Size is one thing. Shooting and scoring from Frank is the issue I have with him. Not breaking another branch off the old "PGs who can't shoot worth a lick" tree. Time to move on to better options.

some things Evan said during that french video interview;

- Everything is a lot more structured and disciplined than last year.
- Mentions that Vuc had a difficult couple of years with Frank Vogel, didn't feel like part of his plan
- Vuc's play is down to the new staff, new beginning + contract year
- Evan is not happy with his start to the season says he's missing loads of things offensively and that frustrates him as he feels the rest of his game has progressed. Says that it's encouraging to think that once he hits his stride again offensively it can only add to what is an already encouraging start to the season for the team.
- re-Frank, only says that if he were to arrive it'd be cool to have another frenchie and that he'd do what's possible to help him grow as a player, but says current roster is solid and if Frank were to arrive it's not obvious who he'd replace.
