I cannot believe people on here were calling it a bad trade because of his first game.
I can

The only reason it was a bad trade is b/c we didn’t do it. If we did the same exact deal it would LMFRB threads
It's funny. Right after the Magic game someone who hadn't been able to watch asked for a game summary and I, slightly flippantly, but with a hard-truth core posted something like "Vuc is great, Gordon is really good but you wouldn't want him on your team, and Fournier will go to a contender at the deadline".
On Gordon: what I was seeing was that he wanted out from the Magic badly. Looks reborn in Denver over a tiny sample size.
On Vuc. Or are we calling him Vucci man now? Yeah.
On Fournier. I have no idea why he wasn't more sought after.
The Vuc and Fournier trades should put the Bulls and Celtics in front of the Knicks this year. I'm agnostic about whether Vuc would have been the right deal for this Knicks team. Maybe? I can see Vuc and Randle together. (Obviously now that Mitch it out it just makes it more attractive.)
Fournier - I have no idea at all why the FO didn't want him. Seems crazy. The Lakers, Nets and Clippers all seem intent on stacking multiple friends-of-the-stars, once-were-stars 30 year old big men. For .. idk fighting off Gobert and Jokic?
