According to a report by Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Knicks are actively exploring trade avenues for veteran shooter Evan Fournier. The 30-year-old guard found himself out of rotation last season under head coach Tom Thibodeau, appearing in only 27 games and averaging 6.1 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in limited playing time.
Fournier openly expressed his frustration about his lack of minutes, suggesting that he does not expect to return to the Knicks. However, rival front offices claim that New York remains engaged in trade discussions involving Fournier as part of potential multi-team frameworks.
With two years remaining on his contract, including a team option for the 2024-25 season, Fournier’s trade value lies in his shooting ability and experience. The Knicks are open to exploring potential deals that could benefit both parties.
As the NBA offseason progresses, it remains to be seen if the Knicks will find a suitable trade partner for Fournier. The team is looking to reshape its roster and make moves that align with its long-term goals.
