The majority of New York Knicks fans have been trying to get rid of Evan Fournier for a year now. Last summer, the dialogue was centered around replacing Fournier with Quentin Grimes in the starting lineup, which is what eventually happened. Since Fournier was booted out of Tom Thibodeau’s rotation entirely in 2022-23, a trade should be on the horizon.
After playing and starting in 80 games during the 2021-22 season, Fournier appeared in only 27 games this past season. He had a hilarious response to not being traded ahead of the February deadline and then once New York’s season came to an end in the second round of the playoffs, Fournier said that “there’s no way” the Knicks would keep him.
