Vincent Collet, the coach of the French national team, is optimistic about a potential trade for his standout player Evan Fournier from the New York Knicks.
Collet’s aspiration is for Fournier to transition to a team where he can secure substantial playing time.
“What I want is for him to be able to change location to be able to play again,” Collet said per French network RMC Sport. “But unfortunately, we are not the ones who have the keys.
“It’s definitely complicated. In this case, it’s not an advantage how big his contract is. It is obvious that franchises would be ready to welcome him, but certainly not under these conditions.”
Fournier’s sole appearance in the 2023-24 season occurred in a decisive 120-99 victory against the Washington Wizards in the In-Season Tournament. He had a 16-minute stint on the court, contributing two points with a 1-6 shooting record from the field.
