New York will pursue Evan Fournier in free agency and are considering making a push for Spencer Dinwiddie, according to sources. Dinwiddie declined his player option for $12.3 million with Brooklyn Nets to become an unrestricted free agent. – via Keith Pompey @ The Philadelphia Inquirer
The Boston Celtics acquired Fournier from the Orlando Magic in March. He’ll become an unrestricted free agent. The French guard, who helped his native country upset the U.S. in the Olympics earlier this week, is expected to ask for around $18 million per season, while Dinwiddie’s asking price is $25 million per, sources say. – via Keith Pompey @ The Philadelphia Inquirer
Well, now...
Fournier is a 6'7" wing, who is 28, a career 80% FT shooter and .379 3-PT shooter. Good for 3 assists a game.
While 18 million seems a tad steep, this is today's NBA. Better more consistent stat line than Kelly Oubre.
I like Spencer, but not at 25 million coming off of a serious knee injury.
Oh well.
Give us this day our daily circle jerk.
PS: I still hate the idea of giving up OBI, and Kevin AND our #19 pick for Collin Sexton.
