MUCH better than Fournier... ug, anything but $20mm+ for that guy

Fournier shot 463 from 3pt line last year - DeMar 257.

We need more 3pters made, and we need a PG. Fournier at least makes some sense in that regard.

But, our biggest need is PG, and all of the rumors around top PGs like Ball is other teams?

suspect Thibs wants a pg who can attack the rim, and then wants a reliable wing to nail the kick out. Duncan is plan A, Fournier is plan B for that role

still think Oubre had a role too

I much prefer a 5 with quick enough feet to guard a switch (long enough)

Overrated???? dude you must be an older NBA fan or in denial...space and pace is the name of the game

He's not a very good basketball player... but if you just want to focus on literally one stat cool.

Is he a better shooter than Bullock? He's not. Hopefully if we nice this noodle its a really short deal because when he got 5 years last time he took the first 3 off

Now that’s a great deal

I'm kind of indifferent on this move...Don't love it, dont hate it. I think there are better options that Evan. But it seems as though Scott Perry only has eyes for his former Orlando players. Mario, elf, and now Evan. It pretty obvious who the driving force was behind the Oladipo rumors....

I hate it. He will probably look for money seriously above $20m per year. And this ties up our cap space on a decent, but not star-quality player. Randle+RJ+Evan = mediocrity for years to come. Perry's moves did jack crap for Orlando.

Great just great so in other words we didn't improve one bit this offseason despite #1 available salary cap space?

This crap is disgusting.

I think you overstate this. The ability to step out to the 3 to hit a shot and the desire to park at the 3 pt line is different for centers. Brook Lopez did great stepping out, but also dominating in the paint and bodying up the younger Suns frontcourt.

Honestly, I want a guy that is comfortable banging in the paint. Once they are comfortable there, they can slide out to the 3 as the game dictates
