Kanter contract along with his inside play is something Orlando needs financially and Frank Vogel wants tougher inside play.

Works straight up...

What say you?

I don't think we need him that bad. We need a guy that can do what Fournier does, but bigger. We need a 6'9 long athletic version of Fournier.

Maybe in a 3 team it would make more sense for a team that could take on Kanter instead.

Never google has played really well early on in the yr. I would prefer more of a Sf/Pf then a SF/SG. But he has skills that the team could use from scoring/shooting & passing. Gotta check out how much he contributes defensively first though.

He's not making that much. 17M a year for a player that does what Fournier can, not that bad. He's their THj.

We're not going to get a 6'9" Founier... a 6'9" Fournier is Kevin Durant lol.

Seriously though, kp,founier koq, Frank, thjr... with Beas, thonas, Willy, Burke and Lee? Does it not make your penis pulsate?

Lance, KOQ, McDermott, and a 2nd round pick saves them a lot of money and let's their new front office start over. But i don't see why they would want to do that. Fournier is a Hardaway-level player on a reasonable contract. He's a productive scorer and lights out shooter. He is also only 25 years old. For those reason i would jump at the opportunity to grab him for cheap.

His deal is relatively the same as THJr... Fournier would be the small fwd, THJr goes too shooting guard. We get a bump in 3pt shooting, passing and driving ability. We could put out Beas, Fournier,KP, Frank and THJr and theoretically run teams off the court!

I agree. Fournier would bring a lot to the table. He would do fine at SF too. Ideally, i want more defense, but a lineup with Porzingis and Frank should be solid defensively no matter what.

Actually it doesn’t. Only KP and Frank (and Thomas) are better than average defenders. Maybe your joint pops for that team but they win no more than 40 at best and out in round 1. I liked Fournier lots but I would rather have a Marcus Smart than Evan Fournier or a Jukius Randell than Beas or Thomas. Crabbe Fournier are complimentary shooters but not multi dimensional. Clarkson - who’s available may end up being better than either though he plays little defense.

He's a good enough shooter but he's been in the league for 6 years and he doesn't pass, doesn't rebound, doesn't defend and makes $17M/year for another 3 seasons after this one. He's a poor man's version of THJr who we're already paying $18M/year to.

So you want a sf who's an efficient scorer, who rebounds, pass, defends, makes reasonable mony, young, athletic, shoots 3's and could finish around the rim.

I would give up lee and willy in a heart beat. He is a willing passer, and with him and tim on the wing, life for KP would be so much easier

If we're paying $17M/year then yes I want more than what Fournier gives us.
