The Knicks did not wait for the February deadline to shake up their roster, with the departure of RJ Barrett against OG Anunoby in particular. An important trade, although Evan Fournier is not affected despite numerous rumors. He returned to this event.
While the Knicks beat the Wolves this Monday evening, thanks to 17 points from OG Anunoby, no Evan Fournier on the menu. As feared, the Frenchman was left on the sidelines after his match the other day. Tom Thibodeau is content to only play him when there are absent/injured players, which explains why a trade is always preferable. The good news is that the Knicks are not done with the trades.
Evan Fournier honest on Knicks trade
There is still a possibility that Evan is traded before the deadline. We imagine that several teams would not say no to the player, but finding a good trade, especially with this salary of 18 million per year, is not that simple. The Frenchman was unfortunately not not affected by that of this weekendeven if he wondered about it at the start.

Evan Fournier’s rant to the league: “It’s time to…
Evan Fournier : “The way I learned about this exchange, I think it was initially just about a package around RJ (Barrett). So when you see that obviously, you’re like, “Oh.” I checked my phone and all that. But I sleep well at night. I don’t go through my phone to see if there’s a trade or anything like that. I just focus on the moment because that’s business. »
No, Fournier was not part of the RJ Barrett trade, unfortunately for him. We know that a departure is the only chance for him to find playing time, especially before the Olympic Games, but the Knicks continue to take their time. At least the person concerned was able to play against the Pacers, all in difficult conditions.
Fournier : “I’m happy to have played that’s for sure, but the match is quick. It’s never easy to play after spending so much time on the bench. I tried to give the best of myself. »
Already back on the bench this Monday evening, Evan Fournier continues to hope for a trade as soon as possible. We imagine that the Frenchman is impatiently awaiting this famous February deadline.
