signing Fournier is one thing, but if a report comes out in the first 20 mins that they came to an agreement, that is even worse. That means he was the plan the whole time.

You don't see him as switchable 2/3 with RJ, where they both shoot, playmake, score, but Fournier better at it now as he's 7 years older and it gives RJ some time to grow into the role?

None of these moves are my favorite but I can kind of understand them.

No no way Fournier is terrible. Let’s just say I rather have Bullock back thank pay Fournier

Come on... Fournier is a significant upgrade over Bullock.

Just say you don't like Fournier, that's accurate. "Fournier is terrible" is not accurate.

ONLY a Knicks fan would call Marcus Smart a “marginal improvement” to Elfrid Payton. YIKES!

We need offense. Not defense.

Oh well. I wanted Sexton/Ball, but that dream is dead.

Wait, hope springs eternal!

Sexton/Fournier!

Well....it's something.

Fournier is the only chair left to sit on maybe. Not over yet but what kind of confidence level can one have?

Only a Knicks fan? The ones who had to endure Payton for 100+ games?

Not necessarily. Free agency is allowable at 6 pm but we would be incredibly naive to believe that it didn't actually start as soon as the playoffs ended

I bought in on Fournier this morning.
I thought he was alot older then 28, so you are getting him in his prime.
Bill Simmons compared our interest in him to our interest in Hayward last year which I was all in for (until I saw the final price)
Fournier can be someone who moves the ball, initiates offense, playmakes and be a lights out shooter while not being too ball dominant that would take a way from the progression of our young guys.
I would just like it to be a max of 3 years (2 years preferably!!!)

I could see that.
But Knicks needed a more well rounded wing starting than Bullocks.
And the Knicks are losing Burks, who was the best on the roster at getting his own shot, outside Rose. And Randle, but Randle is the PF - so the guys who could collapse the D from the out to in.

I brought this up before as a bit of harsh truth:
RJ makes it hard to build the team, right now.
Or, taking up Channel, RJ & Randle.
RJ isn't there yet as a top level wing who can just go and score from 3 levels.
So it demands that the PG is great or the other wing is well rounded, to make up for his CURRENT deficiencies.
Then again, the Knicks apparently have decided to INVEST IN RJ'S DEVELOPMENT.
But I believe it's going to be another 2 full seasons where you can really get away with a Bullocks next to RJ.
Sure, Knicks got 4th seed etc, but I think they played over their head.

Also, making a move for Fournier is an inherent risk in the "1 year deal" since the Knicks have to replace the following:
Starting PG. Backup PG. Starting Wing. Backup Wing. Backup Center. Their two best perimeter drive and score guys in that group. Their best 3 point shooter.
It's going to be a bit of work to break even.

I dont mind Fournier at all, but that doesn't solve our biggest problem, who the hell is playing PG for us

Last time someone called me a hero on this website the acting admin thought we were trying to stage a coup and then made up stories about me threatening legal action to get me banned.

I mean the last time someone called DSN a hero. Not me. I’m not DSN, clearly.

I hope you were not one of those people who complain why we dont attack Træ Young on defense
