Fournier could handle bench scoring if we could swing a deal for him. I don’t think the numbers work. I think Paul and Booker will stagger which will help bench scoring as well.

I do think it would be wise for Paul to load manage this year as well. Maybe rest once every 5 or 6 games to decrease his injury risk.

We don't have the salaries/contracts to match to acquire Fournier.

Trail Blazers getting stronger with Covington and Kanter as a backup center.

I'm not sure what Phoenix could trade for Evan Fournier.

Unlike Hayward, Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier has decided to exercise his player option for this season. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that he'll remain with the Magic. According to The Athletic's Zach Harper, Fournier "is trying to find his way" to a potential contender in the Western Conference.

Harper mentions the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets as teams that Fournier could be interested in joining.

Basically we can't do it, unless they would take Baynes, Dario, and okobo.

Then we would have no money for a backup big. It's just not going to happen.

I agree it's unlikely to get Evan Fournier but it's worth noting.

Westbrook for Wall trade may get traction.

Celtics get their sign and trade for Gordon Hayward. Mainly they get a trade exception.

Nicolas Bantum likely to go to Clippers.
