I agree. There are going to be a lot of guys looking for a team.

About in line with Robinson and THJ. Should be about where Fournier lands.

Free agent Evan Fournier has agreed to a four-year deal that could be worth as much as $78M with the New York Knicks, source tells ESPN.

Wow Fornier, don't like this.

I like it. Wanted him at the deadline. Pretty big with him and RJ. Now just gotta figure out the PG spot. Signing him for less than 20 mil is a good deal.

Would have preferred Bullock with Fournier. While a talented scorer - Burks is too much one on one and not great defender IMO

I dont get signing Fournier and Burks

I am OK (tho not thrilled) with Fournier signing .....Are we gonna concentrate on shooting 3's a little more this up and coming season ?
jskinny35 @ 8/2/2021 8:14 PM
We are worse defensively compared to keeping Bullock and Burks. While I didn't like Fournier as a prospect - I understood how he can create shots more than Bullock. I also think Randle showed good chemistry with Bullock with a lot of kick out threes. Maybe there's more coming but I think we're almost out of money if we plan to resign Rose.

Happy with this. All I want now is a trade Sexton, as he is a Tom type of PG, but I doubt that happe s with them drafting Deuce.

Banking on Tom to coach up the defense

So is Fournier 10 million better then Bollock.
jskinny35 @ 8/2/2021 8:16 PM
Do we have any money left or does 14 Rose, 10 Burks, 11 Noel and 20 Fournier total $55 and we're already done?
Knicksfan @ 8/2/2021 8:21 PM
Not sure what to think. Rose coming back to start? Fournier is ok if he stays healthy.

I’m surprised with the moves.

Probably reached to both Reggie and Burks and said "Here 3/$30M. First come, first served!" Alec hadn't seen a multi-year deal in years and was like "sh!t sign me up."

No, but the team option makes me feel a little better.

Cap hold was 9.7 with his early bird around 13.6. This could be structured using the cap hold with a trade move coming to preserve 4m cap space.
